Days of disappointments.
As a lot of you know, the financial crisis is hitting Iceland pretty hard and our own economy problems are dealing alot of damage here. At first I didn't think that the crisis would have any effect on me, as I am only a teenager. But now...my greatest fear came true. I can't order my 1st. kilt ever, a USA Colquhoun Kilt!! The low exchange rate of the Icelandic Króna is so much that the kilt as doubled in price. Last summer when I first saw the kilt it costed about 13.000 kr. (worth the same at $130 in your point of wiew) but now it costs 27.000kr ! ($270). So I probobly won't get my first kilt until a few years perhaps. I'm not writing this in self-pity, I just wanted to point out that you guys are really lucky being able to buy and wear Rocky & Kelly's beautiful kilts!
I'm sorry Rocky, my order has to wait for now...but for how long, I do not know.
