“I was the only transgender person in
Iceland at that time and that’s probably
why I got mainly negative attitudes from
people. I kept on trying though.”
Anna Kristjánsdóttir tells us what it was like to
the first transgender person in Iceland

“The proximity alarms in my head were
now screaming: 'Ah-ROO-GAA! Ah-
ROOOOO-GAA!!!'”
Don’t Icelanders understand the concept of
personal space?

“Earth is the de facto house diva of Ice-
land and she absolutely nailed ‘David,’
which has got to be one of the sexiest
songs in the history of Icelandic music.”
We attend the last ever GusGus show at NASA

“A whopping six percent of Iceland’s
total population visited the store on
opening day, purchasing goods for over
a billion krónur. That is about eight
million dollars, six million euros or, in
British terms, an arseload of dosh.”
Kári Tulinius explores the symbolic signifi-
cance of Iceland’s biggest hardware store
PAGE 24
“What you need to do is to look towards
some of Iceland’s greatest economic
role models for inspiration. People like
the Icelandic “útrásavíkingar” who
worked tirelessly with legally above-
board business ventures. They contrib-
uted something of value to the world in
order to bring our country the glamor-
ous spoils that are a byproduct of sound
investments. Monuments like the phallic
Smáralind and cars like the Hummer.”
Nanna is back with some bad advice.
