194 Icelandic Krona
5.215 Malaysian Ringgit
Some did their research, some observed
you hear them from the tourists barging into that supermarket chain Bonus,
conversations in bars, dinner tables, also camp sites
within the presence of one (1) foreign guess, at least
Then I told myself - in days where I had to refrain from a splurged meal,
a skyr would be best for me
I've heard of stories - how every Icelandic household stocks at least a plain flavoured skyr in the fridges
I'll drop by grocery shops so that I could get extra skyrs with me
just so I could express myself the way they are familiar with
to my new friends
actually I do not know if that makes sense - giving them love the way they know best
via tubs of skyrs
how minimal
I've heard much more from what everyone else from the other parts of the world talked about
I've heard of how it used to be only plain skyrs available in the markets, back in the days
I've heard of how skyrs are made before mass production took place
where children get to be fed daily, so that they grow strong bones and teeth
Of course, there were those days where I buy myself some bananas and two tubs of skyrs,
made my way to the line and pay my carefully optioned diet with a credit card
whenever I think of the times I spent with skyrs in public spaces,
I can't be bothered to think that I've been spoilt with the best of my senses
with as much skyrs I could possibly have
while I was in Iceland
