What You Can Tell About a Country From Their Airport

Caution- sweeping generalizations ahead.

From the 2 hours I spent in airports in both Reykjavik and Copenhagen, here is what I can tell about these countries.

Iceland. Lovely people, very happy and friendly. VERY environmentally conscious. I'm talking airport-personnel-on-scooters-instead-of-trams-or-carts conscious. Seriously. The food, though? Maybe their airport isn't a good window onto true Icelandic cuisine, but they are huge fans of mayonnaise and eggs. I am not. My lamb sandwich lost 3 lbs. when I scraped off the mayo.

Once I hit Copenhagen, I was preeettttttty sleepy. All I really remember was having to pay for WiFi and, perhaps in my crankiness, being irritated by that. The other thing I can say about Copenhagen- SUPER comfy purple chairs, but again, this might be because any chair at that point was a godsend.

You know how in American airports a lot of people seem irritated and in a rush? Not so in the Milan Malpensa airport. Guess that's a good sign for a relaxed summer.
