@@dweuromaxx I’ve agreed since I viewed the movie CRADLE WILL ROCK as a kid (if you’ve ever seen PARKS & REC I’m Ron Swanson for all intensive purposes- I just went vegetarian w/vegan Mondays for about a decade to try and help the planet ❤️)
In the tourist industry the wages are just enough to get by... that if you do not take extra shifts and work holidays, but if you have a family and work 9-5 or so, it is quite difficult. So a tip is very much appreciated. When I was working as a housekeeper and waitress, it really made my day when someone tipped by tourists! ❤ but Icelanders never tip while in Iceland
@@dweuromaxx We have very decent wages, as long as you don’t look at the cost of living. The cost of housing crisis seriously eats away at our wages, we also have high import costs and taxes which lead to high costs of goods and high inflation has come back to haunt us (due to the government going overboard with it’s covid stimulus efforts).
Funniest comment so far because it's true, he got tricked so much😅 (I've been living here for 8 years, OG commenter is not kidding, the majority of people here do not do any of what she claimed is done here "everday")
Very few travel shows features the red plains of the US, show the world Bryce canyon, Zion national Park and Antelope canyon, which is an under ground slot canyon which belongs to the Navajo Nation
1:42 you complained that the tap water here (basically only in the capital) smelled a bit funny while Im pretty sure I got chlorine poisoning after drinking a 2 glasses of tap water in northern england, I tasted pool water for days and took about a week or 2 to recover
Brant, you definitely should do a video in Istanbul. On the Bosporus strait with one foot on Europe and other on Asia, the meeting place of two cultures.
When a visitor is offered the fermented shark, he or she should do what the vast majority of the locals do in the same situation: Say "Thanks, but NO" - unless you are an adventurous soul, ready to try ANYTHING. Most Icelanders NEVER touch the stuff.
You did the things in Iceland that tourists do to feel and look Icelandic but no actual Icelander does Belive it or not We are mostly regular people On the weirder side of regular for sure But still regular
Lovely, now you can have your typical Icelandic "Girls-out" day whenever you want, Brad. The only thing in this video that average Icelanders actually do, is go to the public swimming pools. Most people would knock you out if you tried the cheek kissing thing and saying "Go Dying" to people on the street they would probably run away screaming.
Whoa, a talking soybean. Him saying "gross" to Icelanders eating whale and horse is funny coming from a guy from a country that eats nothing but tinned slop on toast.
Oh Brant, the poor hosts. I hope that you've found a lot more of pleasant things when the camera was off. 😂 How about Finland or France for the next trip?
Ну я гонял туда побырому заделать латвийское гражданство ну и исландское по совместительству. Чё п с таким прикупом не посюрвайвить на полярном круге! 😂
I think the Icelandic folks have got it all figured out! ❤ we should all be so lucky!
Nice tour, and Ingunn was a great host!
“People actually make a really decent wage in Iceland.” (Quote of the Century?) ❤️
Do you agree?

As a Belgian I also have already an Icelandic name, I did eat a very small piece of hákarl, and I went swimming in Jöklusárlón in winter.
She tricked him to do a lot of things we Icelanders never do 😂

Haha, the shark must be really quite intense. Chapeau Brant for giving it a try and take a plunge into the cold water 👏
Shark isnt that bad
I enjoyed the host’s comic delivery
Amazing episode ❤❤

Tap water is safe to drink in Iceland
You did great and I would like to travel to Iceland now 😊
You should!
6:39 I love the immediate application of the in-breath 😆😆
Next stop should be Donegal, Ireland !
Ingunn is a cutie ❤
Love it👍👍
Awesome video 😅❤
Какая красивая девушка!
❤ swimming pools so cool😂😂😂
Wow Iceland. Australians don't like the cold unless it's snowboarding in Vancouver.
You did so well!!
Brant, you definitely should do a video in Istanbul. On the Bosporus strait with one foot on Europe and other on Asia, the meeting place of two cultures.
Thanks for tips!
It's not a narrow strait, you can see both sides, but cargo ships passing through it . Taking a local ferry is the best way to enjoy the view
@@___beyondhorizon4664 Idiomatic expression shouldn't be interpreted literally.
Loved Iceland as i have family there, but i would not say windiest place, where i live in Australia we have regular cyclones
Looking very cute Brant 😉
Brant is starting to become a meme.
Horse meat is my favourite I always eat it at my grandmas❤
This was fun
Thank you :D
You’ll need to experience a typical Icelandic farmer day

Good to know! :D

Very good 😂

Belive it or not
We are mostly regular people
On the weirder side of regular for sure
But still regular
When will the next meet the germans be?
A lot of Icelandic people believe in Elves but not in the way people think
nobody in Iceland believes in elves 💀
@@DanniManni Some do. More like folklore and tales we tell our children, like how we got 'huldufólk' and whatnot living in the mountains
@@aliengoat9418 im literally Icelandic never ever met a person that believes in elves
In this case "A lot" means maybe 10.
Can we have Jerusalem trip?

They are talking about you.

Rachel!¡!!!!!!!!!!@@@@
I cringed to death
Don´t see anything new for me... looks normal.
Don't be a wuss, Brant! lol
Ex mode .....If you want to experience being a Icelander talk to the men
Without watching I can tell you, they spend 4 out of 12 month in Spain while migrants are doing labour.
Cool but why would you wanna come to Iceland (coming from an Icelander)
dont come back
við íslendíngar hótum þessa bévítans túrista að filla landið með bulli og vitleysu ekki koma aftur
