Sheep rounding in Westfjords

Before winter arrives every year, farmers in Iceland go through the grueling task of rounding up their sheep from the highlands and the country side, to get them back in the barns.

One of our Members Committee went on a trip with Inspired by Iceland to the Westfjords to experience this yearly ritual, round up the sheep and separate them according to their owners, sounds easy but boy it is hard work

Debby's in the house!

Happy New Year!!!

(Sun Lin Fai Lok!!!)

This is Debby, your CEEDer from Hong Kong~! I am in Iceland for 4 days now and I am getting more and more excited every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am really looking forward to meeting you all people!!


Let me tell you some of my first-timessss here, in 4 days...

• I saw snow when i was traveling on the plane! I was so excited!! But since I arrived here, I haven't seen any snow!! I'm really looking forward :DDDDDDD
  
• I tasted reindeer meat!! I've never thought that it is available for eating! But I like it :P
• I showered with my silver ring on and it turned into copper colour! And I discovered that I can remove the colour by using toothpaste on the ring!

I am looking forward to more first-timessss to come in my life~!


By the way, it seems like I'm the weakest Chinese girl ever who always feels cold whenever I am outdoor (especially on New Years Eve). I hope I can train my body to adapt to the cold weather soon!



Probably many of you know Chinese people eats animals' organs and many different animals like dogs, monkeys, bats etc..
But I DO NOT eat those at all.

I am a bit scared when I was holding this sheep head.







This is my first time having New Years out of my home country! I'm so glad that I made it here in Iceland!!

I watched the fireworks and the bombfire. The idea of bombfire is interesting!







If you are free to bring me tour around the city, or you have anything cool, please let me know! I want to know more about the country, the culture, the people, the food, everything about Iceland! My contact number is 8926192, and my facebook is Debby Shing :D

PS. I am the first one to blog in 2009 :)))))))))))

It's easy to say that it's a small world when you're an AIESECer.

But how often do you find a relative in an international conference?!

I met Elias, LCP of Linköping, Sweden, at ScaLDS and again at Euroco... turns out that he's part icelandic and after having looked his dad up in the database of Icelanders, I find out that we're 9th cousins! Maybe we're not THAT related but still!

(From the right: me, Elias, Espen and Robert)

You can almost tell that we're cousins!
