Day 3- The Bank

So Finally after 2 days of cloudy weather, we finally got to see the sun! Yay! I love the sun!  We went to our first Icelandic class today and the teacher found out pretty quick that I studied Icelandic previously.  I was definitely more confident about my phrases and when she was teaching us later on the pronunciation of the letter ö, she wrote down a few words, one of which was öl.  She then asked me what it meant and I promptly said beer. She said "I figured you'd know what that word meant" and I then asked her why.  She then got startled and thought that she had offended me and then said "well, you seem to know so many scandinavian words"... It was a nice cover I guess but I thought it was funny 

So after that Ásta Sól took us to Landsbanki to get our bank accounts.  On the way we went to a flower shop and Pall didn't think I could go 5 minutes without talking so I just listened to music on my ipod and sat there.  When that got bored I took a few photos.  I think the best part of it was when I was at Landsbanki and some executives were showing statistics of the success of Landsbanki so while everyone was quiet I asked the executive that if he thought that the success was because of the senior management or because Iceland's GDP was one of the top 5 per capita in the whole world.  I then asked him if they had CEO's CFO's CIO's and COO'S.  I kinda caught him off guard there for a bit but he answered well. When we were having our complementary pancakes one of the executives came up to me and gave me a book about the past fiscal year.  He talked to me a lot about the growing business and also about how I could possibly get a job working there if I was good enough at Icelandic ant that there was an internship that they could travel all around Europe. I am very interested.
