So I am here at skogafoss
It might not be the biggest waterfall in Iceland
But it is definitely one of the easiest to get to. As you can see behind me
There are not that many tourists. You can get pretty close to the waterfall
Another cool thing is I'm in the town of schoo Gert population 25
So you can imagine if everybody knows each other in Reykjavik how well they must know each other here.
When you think of Icelandic people the one where the probably comes to your mind is viking.
Which is why we decided to go and check out the Viking training right here in this garage
Show me so I can do the same. I
Cannot do that
So you look like a Viking yeah, what do you think is the most important feature of a Viking
Well, I slenderize have a beard it's is it like a hipster thing or is it a Viking thing? I'm still trying understand
it's all I would say some other thing because
It's cold outside. I have a big belly. That's my fiancee lives
that's my only redeeming quality and a beard who could
get
Good good good. Yeah you could how do I say? Hi. Ho ho coos
Easy parts. Hi. Hi
What does that mean kill kill
Every woman would want to be paid for they would appreciate it
I'm gonna test that out and asks Icelandic women what they think about it. I'm so good
I did would you pay for the guy would you get him a drink?
Like are you okay with that or yes sure the work no, like it can split it or something
Do you feel kind of a bitch having someone else pay for me? Like I feel like I should be pay for my food
I don't know
It's changing a little bit, but I standard women
they don't necessarily like it if you offer to buy them a drink or a commitment and are willing to make
This guy looks like we would not let me
Paper like it. Okay to the point where he was just like pushing my hand back it like just paid for the thing
They're trying to put my garden. I guess he just couldn't handle this whatever manticores that like stop like, you know
Stop. I hated kind of situation because for me it's manly to be able to let the girl pay for own for you drink instead
Of you being like no, I'm gonna be this
You might recognize the spot from Instagram pretty cool right? It's almost likely it will look like this even in the pouring rain
Yeah yoga take over time I'm thinking dancing
Single relationship
Thing up. How's the dating scene here? Yes, there is not exist. It's not true. Okay, explain it then
Oh, oh, no. I'm not gonna explain that to say if you really want to go on a date
I feel like you kind of have already assessed the person like the dating comes later on
I think kind of comes after you made up and after you just live together
and after you met like the person's friends or something and then you're like
Actually, I really quite like this all to you are like coming
You may be like late 20s or early cities or like in your 40s
Maybe then it's more acceptable to be like, can I take you out for a meal?
Or anything sorry that it's an official date days, so no no dinner no movie no
No, you do it was a guy that you already like
But you know
Sometimes makes you a bit depressed to think the license
Yeah, yeah
The honest babies read a girl like she's your male evil Oh
With I probably know
It's my Mary cousin. What about this guy? He doesn't look like 100% I guess Icelandic is a different thing, right but he's okay
Doesn't look a hundred percent ice on it. What do you mean? I don't know. He doesn't look
It doesn't look like a white cake, it's Carl an Icelandic name. Yeah
Hi
So apparently it's it's the Icelandic Lucas the beard
Look, it's that yeah, if that is it's the hipster it becomes because no beards and you're no longer or something
It is really true, right?
It can be a video about dating if someone doesn't go on a date and the only someone to go on a date
Isn't he so I'm like a guinea pig right here
All right, you guys hope you enjoy my very awkward first date where the guy I don't know. Let's go
You had a great sense of humor who's joking around is really done to earth
But overall I just feel like I can I don't know
I feel like it's really comfortable here
and that's great because I feel like US and Canada you do tend to overthink these things a little bit more and
here, it's almost like
You literally can just be yourself
It's it's really a cool feeling
Like I described the dating style of Iceland it would be in three words
casual
simple and direct you can say and do what you want without getting judged and what you see is pretty much what you get if
I could give you some word of advice. It would be this leave your games at home
Forget about your dating rules. There are none and most of all have fun whatever happens happen. And that is the philosophy of Iceland
