"Los Angeles is a store"

So declared my son, semi-delirious at 11pm at night, as we drove through Reykjavík. I guess he saw some sort of similarity between these two cities, maybe because it is now getting dark enough at night here to see the city lights. Otherwise, a city of 20 million and a town of 300,000 is not very comparable. Except one can feel strangely alone in both places.
