In the words of Mark Twain, “…broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and
things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s
lifetime.”
Let’s face it, if you’re proficient enough in English to understand these words,
and you’re reading an Icelandic newspaper, you’ve been exposed to international
culture. Embrace it! The University of Reykjavík is holding their highly successful
International Day once again, and this time it’s jam packed with even more culture,
more cuisine, more presentations, more art and more music. Sample the finest that
the world has to offer, from Nuuk to Nairobi, right here in Reykjavík.
