Yesterday I met one of my best friends in the world of customs, my long time colleague Snorri Olsen – ríkisskattstjóri (Commissioner of Tax and Customs).
It is always a pleasure to catch up with great feiends and colleagues, sharing ideas and news. Our meeting was follwed by a great dinner at Kol.
Snorri is also one of the few Customs Directors having a local beer brand named after him.
A good talk and always a pleasure to visit Reykjavik.
Landed at Keflavik International Airport this morning. It is great to be back on Iceland, one of my favourite places in the world.
In Reykjavik for meeting with Skatturinn (The Icelandic Revenue & Customs Agency) today.
When I travel I always study street art, one of my hobbies. I collect these wxceptionam grafiti artists and this time I didn’t have to go very far since this masterpiece is painted on the wall of the customs building.
Naturally I took time also for a short lunch break at the worlds’ most famous Hot Dog stand, Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur in Reykjavik.
The largest consumer survey among car owners, American Consumer Reports, has named BMW the best car brand.
Subaru, Mini, Lexus and Honda also made top five. And at the bottom we find Jaguar, Jeep and Land Rover.
BMW is usually at the top when Consumer Reports presents its annual ranking of car brands (third last year). But 2023 is actually the first time that the German brand ends up at the very top.
The ranking itself is based on four factors in which the brands are rated. It is about safety, reliability, rigorous test drives and customer satisfaction. The latter point is based on surveys where Consumer Report’s members were asked if they would consider buying a car from the same brand again if given the chance.
