National traditions of Iceland
In Iceland, people like when foreigners praise their country and everything related to it: culture, politics, nature and so on. Tourists are constantly asked: "How do you like Iceland?", waiting for a witty answer. About 80% of locals believe in elves, trolls, and gnomes. Even during roadworks, touching large stones and caves is often avoided so as not to disturb fabulous creatures hiding there. Superstitions are generally very common and strong in the homeland of wonderful fairy tales and legends. For example, instead of knocking on wood, here it is customary to pronounce lucky numbers - 7, 9, and 13. When moving to a new house, bread and salt are first brought in to attract wealth and prosperity. Knives cannot be given as a gift - this can destroy relationships. However, they can be bought for the lowest possible price. Raising their glasses, Icelanders always look into the eyes of others present at the table to avoid problems in their own personal life.
