I don't really like Hershey's chocolate.. it feels too... chalk-y to eat.
ANYWAYS.
I live in "The town of the midnight sun", or Akureyri, Iceland.
It's a small colledge/university town of 18.000 ish people.
It's got a number of museums and a lot of art and culture and shit like that.
It's got a few restaurants. My personal favorite is Greifinn for going out (awesome, sizable steaks, cooked to perfection!), and Jón Sprettur for ordering in (best pizza I've ever had, and comes with a dvd rental, one old movie and one new).
The town is built in a hill, so every walk out of the house takes you up a hill and down a hill too.
There's a ski-resort up the hill from where we live, a large pool and gym across the street, and the ocean a short ways down hill (I would pop down to the docs and fish, it's a nice past-time and a great way to access cheap cat-food).
The ocean just downhill is actually just a narrow fjord, and so the town is way inland even if it's down at the ocean as well. And across the fjord are more mountains. meaning that we sit in this little bowl, and on some summer days, the burning sun heats up the air in the bowl an awful lot, leaving us with temperatures as high as 25°c in the shade. Those days I just stay indoors, in the cool air of my big cement-block of a house.
During the longest days of summer, there is no night, and as a result, there's a golf tournament held here where people play through the night, not the day. It's apparently one of two or three tournaments that do this, ours being the first.
Aside from being called the town of the midnight sun in travelling brochures, it's also referred to as the town in the woods. In our yard alone there's 9 or 10 trees (I'm not getting up to count!) and just across the street (the other way than the pool, we're at an intersection) is a little park with maybe 150 or so trees and about an hour's walk away is a patch of woods with thousands of trees.
The woods are so close to the town and the yards are so densely populated with trees that during the hight of summer the town looks like a flow of green from across the fjord. More like the town is in the woods, than the trees are in the town, hence the nickname.
I could go on about our yard for a while, but the condensed version is; We have Rhubarb, Redcurrant, Raspberries and two kinds of strawberries and a patch for potatoes and a whole host of tulips.
Also a deck with a good BBQ.
Ofcourse, this is the home I might be loosing within the next few months, so I'd rather not go on about it any further. <!-- s

Uhm... yeah... I think that's about it.
Here are some pictures;
Oh and click here for this big panorama pic of the whole town.
