Does Not Contain Octopus

WWFB: Up North in Iceland Edition

The scene: Akureyri, Iceland. August.

When I learned there was a city in northern Iceland that put up heart-shaped traffic lights to cheer up the local population during an economic recession, I just had to check it out. When we arrived we discovered the Icelandic equivalent of the Bronze Fonz, which sealed the deal for our deep and abiding love for Akureyri.  

VERDICT: 9/10 Come for the traffic lights, stay for the statue. Minus one point for the “Octopus Hot Dog” not actually containing hot dog. #foolmeonce

This guy, whom I’m going to call Icelandic Elvis, is fantastic! He’s like the Bronze Fonz crossed with Han Solo when he was frozen in whatever that stuff was. #getoffmybackstartrekgeeks

Panda and I are both disappointed that the Octopus Hot Dogs do not contain octopus. Disillusionment comes early for the children of Iceland.
