LOVELIEST
LETTER
Just returned from a weekend in
Reykjavik. Amazing snow covered
lava landscapes, geysers, iced over
Gullfoss, Hekla concert hall ,Northern
Lights blah blah blah. Whilst visiting
Þingvellir for sunrise ( not so tor-
cherous at 10.20am) and I needed to
use the toilet and the sign for the toi-
let featured a credit card (see attached
photo). Only in Iceland would you
need a credit card to "spend a penny".

We highly appreciate you bringing
this to our attention. It seems pretty
clear to us that this is a contributing
factor to the plethora of
tourists pooping all over the coun-
try. Sure, we all had a good laugh
about that, but can you blame them,
when they're being charged to an-
swer
nature's call? This clearly
has to change.
Public toilets
should be
free
and available
to the public
at large - credit
card holders or
no.
Hey!
I was stationed at
Rockville in Iceland
years ago. I am a
world famous artist
now, I want to ”come
back” to Iceland now.
How do I do that? I
have a lot to offer. The
United States ‘sucks’.
I miss Iceland.
Call me.
James Williamson
Hey James!
Well first, congratula-
tions on your stellar post-
military art career. We love world
famous artists here in Reykjavík!
There are many airlines flying into
Iceland these days, including, from
what we hear, a handful of $99 flights
via WOWair. But, well, American
citizens can only
stay

here for
90 days before they have
to get a residency permit/ get mar-
ried/ whatever, or return back to the
land of 'suck'.
So, good luck with that!
Bestu Kveðja,
