This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Iceland is very small. It takes about 25 hours to drive around the entire circumference of the country. That, coupled with there being a very small population in general, any train would be empty most of its running hours.
Reykjavik, Iceland biggest city, is super easy to walk. The entire thing. It takes almost no time. You don't need a train if you can get everywhere by foot.
We rented a car while there and experienced zero traffic.
Also sections of the country routinely get closed off because the ground is exploding with molten rock, it's much easier to reroute road traffic and maintain infrastructure especially in such complex topography.
