Discover spectacular hiking trails and scenic coastline in Iceland, a land where the primeval forces of volcanoes and glaciers rule.
Iceland Hiking Tour Overview
Iceland is a land of extreme contrasts. Vast, desolate lava fields are interrupted by lush, moss-carpeted valleys. Giant cascading waterfalls give way to vibrantly colored rhyolite mountains. From the otherwordly landscapes of the south coast, to the mystical power of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula in the west, our overland expedition takes in the most beautiful and inspiring areas of Iceland.
Hikes on the south coast lead us through fairytale landscapes; past dramatic waterfalls, floating icebergs, and some of Europes largest glaciers. An amphibious boat trip, cultural connections, and optional activities such as a snowmobile excursion, or a ride on an Icelandic horse round out our adventure. Along the way, we spend a day crossing the interior highlands of Landmannalaugar, soaking in hot streams and hiking among colorful mountains an experience not to be missed. Testaments to the constantly evolving earth are everywhere lava fields, hot rivers, craters, and glaciers dominate our views. In the evenings, we return to comfortable accommodations and enjoy relaxing in hot pots (Icelandic hot tubs), or taking nighttime strolls under the midnight sun.

Trip Rating
Boundless Journeys trips are designed for energetic and flexible individuals who like to be active and have a spirit of adventure and a positive attitude. Hiking the Land of Fire and Ice is rated 2+, easy to moderate, on a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being the most strenuous). The hikes on this trip are 2-5 hours long, on occasionally rough hiking trails with minimal vehicle support. On a few days there are elevations gains and losses of about 1,000 feet. Because of the nature of the trails, we sometimes hike out and back on the same path. There will likely be three days on this trip with options for more or less hiking.
Preparing for this Trip
It is very important that you realistically assess your physical condition with regard to the demands of this trip. The more well-prepared you are for the activities on this trip, the more you will enjoy yourself! Please engage in moderate aerobic activities (hiking, jogging, or cycling) for at least 30-45 minutes several times a week for 4-6 weeks before the trip. If you live in a flat area, try to incorporate some stairs into your workout, or use a treadmill with varying incline capability. Consult your doctor before undertaking any new fitness programs.
Jökulsarlon Glacier Lagoon
There is an amphibious boat excursion on Day 4, beginning with a short drive along the shore before driving directly into the water of the Jökulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. The boat holds about 25 people, and there is plenty of room to move around and enjoy the views. The trip lasts 1 ½-2 hours, on a smooth glacial lagoon, offering a unique opportunity to learn about glaciers and experience Icelands unusual beauty.
The Icelandic Horse
Riding is a favorite pastime of many Icelanders, and the Icelandic horse is an ideal breed for novice and experienced riders alike. The optional horseback ride takes place at a small horse farm near Fludir. The terrain is varied, and there are horses suitable for all levels. Your riding guide will ask you about your previous experience before choosing your horse. Helmets are provided and boots with a low, square heel are required (your hiking boots should suffice). Please discuss this with your guide early in the trip if youd like to take part in this activity (at additional expense).
The Glacier Walk
A half-day glacier walk is included, weather permitting. All necessary equipment is provided, including crampons and ice axes. Boots are available for rental although your hiking boots should suffice. The Icelandic mountain guides we will hike with are experienced mountaineers with a great deal of knowledge about glaciers and safety procedures. After being fitted with gear and a safety briefing, we head onto the ice itself for a unique perspective on the importance and beauty of glaciers. If the weather makes this adventure unsafe, a traditional hike will be offered instead.
With thousands of acres of year-round snow, Iceland is well suited for snowmobiling. On Day 2, there is the option of an evening snowmobile adventure for those who want more time on the glaciers. Please discuss this with your guide early in the trip if youd like to take part in this activity (at additional expense).
Driving Distances
Although Iceland is a relatively small country, the distances from one place to another are sometimes long, due to actual miles covered or, in some cases, the conditions of the road. We have tried to strike a balance between the importance of experiencing certain unique places Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, the interior highlands of Landmannalaugar, and the bucolic Snaefellsnes Peninsula and the importance of taking time out of the vehicle to hike, explore, and immerse ourselves in the countrys diverse landscapes. On a few days, there may be total driving times of up to five hours; but rest assured that they are well broken up with opportunities to explore, and that both the drives, and the destinations, are well worth the effort.
When to Go
Summer in Iceland is short, and the best weather is generally from June through September. Early summer brings vibrant greens, 24-hour daylight, and the greatest concentrations of migratory birds. Mid-summer brings wildflowers, and later in the summer the low-growing plants covering the hillside begin to change colors in a display that rivals New England foliage. While it is often bright and sunny, cool, wet weather is possible any time of year.
Travelers Responsibility
Trip participants have certain responsibilities to both Boundless Journeys and your fellow travelers. This includes understanding the conditions described in the trip itinerary and making sure it is appropriate for your interests and abilities, based on a review of the trip ratings, consultation with Boundless Journeys staff, and perhaps your doctor. In addition, trip participants are responsible for preparing for a trip by undertaking the proper fitness training. At the guides discretion, a participant may be asked to leave the trip if the guide feels that the persons further participation may be detrimental to the individual or to other trip participants. If you have any questions about the difficulty level of the trip you have chosen, please contact Boundless Journeys to speak with one of our Destination Managers.
Small Group Travel
Small group travel affords us the opportunity to seek out the most remote and exotic destinations on the planet. Often we are exploring these locales with just 6-12 guests. The nature of active group travel is such that not all participants have the same ability level or interests. Traveling at a pace that is comfortable for the entire group, with a spirit of flexibility and adventure are all part of this intimate experience.
Iceland Accommodations
Overview: Comfortable, modern small hotels, all with private baths. Accommodations in Icelands countryside are scarce, and ours are chosen for charm and location, rather than extensive amenities.

Well-located on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Hotel Stykkisholmur is tucked in a traditional fishing village and offers clean, modern decor.
A Boundless Moment in Iceland...
As our small, amphibious craft slipped from shore into the deep, icy waters, we stared across the mirror-like surface of Jökulsárlón Lagoon. The icebergs were everywhere, dwarfing us; jagged, ancient towers that seemed to reflect a deep blue color one minute and white and grey the next.
Reykjanes Peninsula
Hike easy to moderate, 3 hours on hiking trails; approximately 6 miles.
Upon meeting our guide in Reykjavík, we head southwest to the Reykjanes Peninsula, with its barren and rugged lava fields and coarse, black-sand beaches. This region is well known for its fishing industry, and lighthouses which outnumber its villages.
Our hike today takes place in the geothermal area of Eldvorp, northwest of Grindavik. In older days, women from Grindavík took the Brauðstígur, or Breadtrail, to Eldvorp to bake bread in the warm steam eminating from the region. The lava from the crater is one of the most extensive Holocene lava flows on the Reykjanes Peninsula, covering about 12 miles.
After lunch in town, we continue toward our hotel. Along the way, we may choose to take a dip in the geothermally heated Seljavallalaug pool, the oldest remaining swimming pool in Iceland, built in 1923. Its a 15-minute walk to the pool, where the mountains provide a perfect backdrop for an afternoon swim.
Our next stop is Seljalandsfoss falls, where we take a short footpath behind the cascades for a unique look through a veil of thundering water.
Early this evening, if time allows, we may visit the Skogasafn Folk Museum, which boasts an impressive collection of historic farming and fishing tools, as well as folk crafts spanning hundreds of years. The museums curator is a national treasure himself, and often offers a personal tour of his collection. This is also one of the few places in the country to explore authentic sod houses, which were the primary form of shelter for many Icelanders until the 20th century.
At days end, we arrive at our country hotel in the Skógar area.
Hotel Skógar, Hvolsvöllur
Skógafoss Waterfall and Glacier Exploration
Optional morning hike moderate, up to 2 hours on hiking trails, with approximate elevation gain and loss of 1,500; up to 4 or 5 miles. Afternoon glacier walk easy to moderate, 3-4 hours.; approximately 1 mile.
This morning, you may choose to explore the grounds surrounding our hotel, including the impressive Skógafoss, a 200-foot-high cascade that often produces rainbows in its mist. For those in the mood for a more substantial hike, we can climb the short, steep ascent next to the falls, and continue hiking along the Skogá River. We pass many beautiful waterfalls and, on a clear day, we can see the coastline and glaciers in the distance, including Eyjafjallajökull and Myrdalsjökull. This is true Icelandic wilderness on the heath.
Later on, we drive a short distance to the Eyjafjallajökull massif. From the eastern face, the Sólheimajökull glacier tongue extends down from its parent glacier, Mýrdalsjökull, Icelands fourth largest. Here, we meet our Icelandic mountain guide, who equips us with the proper tools (crampons and ice axes) for an adventure on an active glacier. After instruction on the proper use of our equipment, we traverse the glacier onto an ice field, where a wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges, and deep crevasses await our discovery.
This evening finds us back at our country hotel, perhaps enjoying the late evening sun from the outdoor hot pots, or, for those looking for more adventure, an optional snowmobile ride on a nearby glacier can be arranged (at additional expense; please discuss with your guide on Day 1 or early on Day 2 if you would like to participate).
Hotel Skógar, Hvolsvöllur
Hjörleifshöfði and Fjaðrágljúfur Canyon
Hike easy to moderate, total of 3.5 hours on hiking trails, with possible river crossings; 5-6 miles.
Our drive this morning takes us through a desertlike landscape, past icecaps and active volcanoes, to the start of our hike at Hjörleifshöfði. When Icelands first official settler, Ingólfur Arnarsson, arrived in Iceland in 874, his half-brother Hjörleifur Hrodmarsson wintered on the east side of this headland that bears his name. It was here that Hrodmarsson was slain by his Irish slaves, who then fled to the islands named for them, the Westman Islands. The farmland at Hjörleifshöfði was used only until the 1930s, but the ruins exude an air of timelessness. This former island is now completely surrounded by sands washed from the glaciers, especially during the eruptions of nearby Mt. Katla.
This afternoon, we hike along Fjadrárgljúfur canyon, hollowed out over millions of years by the Fjaðrá River. We follow the eastern edge, offering stunning views of the plains and glacial brooks below, before descending to the floor of the canyon, admist moss-covered rock formations and a flowing river.
After our hike we travel to our hotel, immersed in the spectacular scenery we have been enjoying throughout our journey.
Hotel Laki, Kirkjubaejarklaustur
Ingólfshöfði and Jökulsárlón Boat Trip
Hike easy to moderate, about 2 hours on hiking trails, and up a steep, sandy slope; approximately 3 miles.
After breakfast, we drive across Skeiðarársandur, a vast river delta formed by runoff from nearby glaciers. Catastrophic flooding occurs here regularly, as geothermal activity melts the glaciers, causing a tremendous amount of water to flood the delta. Across the delta is Skaftafell National Park, home to Europes largest glacier, Vatnajökull, whose presence lords over the surrounding landscape.
From May through mid-August, a former farm turned nature reserve located at Ingólfshöfði is known for its incredible birdlife, and especially its puffins. These comical waterbirds are a delight to watch, and the farmer gives us a ride in his tractor to an isolated headland, where we can hike in their midst. This remote cape, surrounded by black-sand beaches, is also the place where Icelands first settler, Ingolfur Arnarson, spent the first winter in Iceland in 874 A.D.
If your tour takes place later in the summer, when the puffins have left Ingólfshöfði, well instead visit Skaftafell National Park for a hike at the base of Europes largest glacier. Our walk begins from the parks visitor center and steadily climbs up through birch forest to a plateau. Here, the landscape turns to tundra, and the views are magnificent in all directions.
After our morning activities, we continue to Jökulsárlón, perhaps stopping along the way to enjoy our packed lunch at the base of a glacier. At Jökulsárlón, we board a small amphibious boat to venture into the ice-filled lagoon, where we are dwarfed by dozens of floating icebergs.
Hotel Laki, Kirkjubaejarklaustur
Highland Expedition and Landmannalaugar
Hiking easy to moderate, total of about 3 hours; up to 5 miles. Optional horseback riding easy to moderate, about 1 hour.
Today we venture into the Icelandic highlands for a day of hiking and soaking in a hot river, whose soothing waters are heated by gases and magma from deep beneath the Earths crust. The highland roads are unpaved, and if conditons permit, we take the fjallabak (literally, route behind the mountains) to Landmannalaugar, an area of multicolored rhyolite mountains and hot springs. Along the way, there may be time to hike into the volcanic rift of Eldjá, through a landscape of moss-covered boulders. At Landmannalaugar, there are additional hiking opportunities, as well as the option to soak in a natural hot river before enjoying a picnic lunch.
This afternoon, we continue to our hotel. After dinner, there is the option of enjoying the national pasttime riding the Icelandic horse (at additional expense; please discuss with your guide if you would like to do this). These friendly horses have been selectively bred for centuries to produce an animal that is even-tempered and strong, with great endurance. They also have a very smooth gait the tölt which makes riding them a wonderfully comfortable, experience even for beginners.
Hotel Fludir, Fludir
Gullfoss and Geysir; transfer to Snaefellsnes Peninsula
Morning exploration easy, about 1 hour over mostly flat trails; approximately 1 mile.
This morning we explore some of Icelands most well known sites. The Great Geysir is believed to have been created around the end of the 13th century when a series of strong earthquakes shook the Haukadalur Valley. While it is often called the Old Faithful of Iceland, although there is an argument to be made that the name, Old Faithful, should belong to North Americas most famous geysir.
From Great Geysir we continue on a short drive to Gullfoss, or the golden falls. This impressive cascade drops over a series of tiers into the Hvitá canyon, and its volume of water makes it one of the largest falls in Iceland.
We then make our way along a mountain road to a farm and cultural center on the banks of the Grimsa River, where we stop for lunch and take some time to learn about the influence of trolls in Icelandic history.
Upon arrival at the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, we check into our hotel, located in a traditional fishing village along the coast. Tonight you are free to enjoy dinner on your own, and your guide will be happy to make suggestions.
Hotel Stykkisholmur, Stykkisholmur
Snaefellsnes Peninsula
Hike easy to moderate, 2-3 hours; approximately 4 miles.
This morning, we depart our hotel for a hike on the south coast of the peninsula, from the small fishing hamlet of Arnarstapi to the town of Hellnar. The coastal and glacier views are beautiful, and wildflowers dot the landscape. In early summer, abundant bird colonies also populate the coast. There are, of course, numerous kittiwakes and puffins, but this is also one of the few areas of Iceland to find the White-tailed Eagle, a rare bird (once nearly extinct) with a wingspan of up to eight feet. We have time to enjoy one of the small fishing villages, before heading for Djúpalónsandur, a black cobblestone beach strewn with the remnants of a trawler that was shipwrecked there in 1948. A short walk here reveals poignant reminders of the challenge of a life so closely tied to the sea.
We continue our loop around the Snaefellsness Peninsula, observing the beauty of its legendary glacier. For those who have developed a taste for traditional Icelandic fare, a visit to Bjarnarhöfn, the traditional shark museum where you can try putrified shark meat, is not to be missed.
Tonight, we enjoy a final celebratory dinner and toast our adventure in the Land of Fire and Ice.
Hotel Stykkisholmur, Stykkisholmur
Return to Reykjavík and Departure
This morning after breakfast we depart Snaefellsnes Peninsula for Reykjavík. For those continuing their stay in the city, you can say goodbye upon arrival downtown. For those with departing afternoon flights, there may be time for some last-minute shopping before our guide brings us to the airport for flights home.
Please note that this is a typical itinerary, and actual activities may vary to take advantage of weather conditions, local events, and to allow serendipity to play a hand in your experience. Accommodations are as outlined in the itinerary, although we reserve the right to change these should the need arise.

Installing Nokogiri
Because Nokogiri needs to be compiled and dynamically linked against both libxml2 and libxslt, it has gained a reputation for being complicated to install.
Let's wrassle this little myth to the ground, shall we?
Ubuntu / Debian
Ubuntu doesn't come with the Ruby development packages that are required for building gems with C extensions. Here are the commands to install everything you might need:
# ruby developer packages
sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev ruby1.8 ri1.8 rdoc1.8 irb1.8
sudo apt-get install libreadline-ruby1.8 libruby1.8 libopenssl-ruby
# nokogiri requirements
sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev
sudo gem install nokogiri
Although, if you're using Hardy (8.04) or earlier, you'll need to install slightly different packages:
# nokogiri requirements for Hardy (8.04) and earlier
sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev
As John Barnette once said, "Isn't package management convenient? :)"
Mac OS X
Please note that Leopard comes bundled with libxml 2.6.16. Someone in Cupertino MUST be having some fun at our expense, because this is clearly somebody's idea of a bad joke. 2.6.16 was released Nov 2004 and is really quite buggy. We here at Nokogiri HQ advise strongly that you do not use this version.
Sensibly, Snow Leopard comes packaged with libxml 2.7.3, but you're probably using either macports or homebrew to manage your dev packages, so Read On, True Believer!
sudo port install libxml2 libxslt
sudo gem install nokogiri
And if you have problems, try:
sudo port upgrade outdated
homebrew 0.9
Apparently some people have had problems getting libiconv to install under homebrew 0.9 (see issue #442). Here's what reportedly works:
brew install libxml2 libxslt
brew link libxml2 libxslt
Then install libiconv from source:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.13.1.tar.gz
tar xvfz libiconv-1.13.1.tar.gz
cd libiconv-1.13.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.13.1
sudo make install
Then (finally) install nokogiri:
gem install nokogiri -- --with-xml2-include=/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.7.8/include/libxml2
Well played, homebrew. That certainly was "the easiest and most flexible way to install the UNIX tools Apple didn't include with OS X." </sarcasm>
homebrew 0.8
brew install libxml2 libxslt libiconv
brew link libxml2 libxslt libiconv
gem install nokogiri
homebrew 0.7
# the rest of this snippet assumes installation of libxml 2.7.7. YMMV.
brew install libxml2
brew link libxml2
# install libxslt from source
wget ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxslt-1.1.26.tar.gz
tar -zxvf libxslt-1.1.26.tar.gz
cd libxslt-1.1.26
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/libxslt/1.1.26
sudo make install
gem install nokogiri -- --with-xslt-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libxslt/1.1.26
Red Hat / CentOS
The easiest way to get Nokogiri installed on CentOS and RHEL seems to be the EPEL repository which contains a prebuilt nokogiri package. To use it, install the appropriate epel-release package for your OS, then run:
sudo yum install -y rubygem-nokogiri
To install using gem install is somewhat more complicated because of the age of the packages available from the central repositories. If you have rubygems installed, you may be able to install nokogiri via
gem install. If you run intro problems, try installing these packages as well.
sudo yum install -y gcc ruby-devel libxml2 libxml2-devel libxslt libxslt-devel
CentOS 5 (and RHEL5) come installed with libxml 2.6.26 which, while not as offensively out-of-date as Mac Leopard, is still pretty damn old (released June 2006) and has known issues.
If you're affected by any known bugs or are seeing odd behavior, you may want to consider uninstalling the RPMs for libxml2 and libxslt, and building them from source.
sudo yum remove -y libxml2-devel libxslt-devel
- download the most recent libxml2 and libxslt from ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/
./configure ; make ; sudo make install
Then install nokogiri specifying the libxml2 and libxslt install directories:
sudo gem install nokogiri -- --with-xml2-lib=/usr/local/lib
(Note that, by default, libxslt header files are installed into the root include directory, but libxml2 header files are installed into a subdirectory thereof named
Or, you know, whatever directories into which you installed libxml and libxslt. Good luck.
Nonstandard libxml2 / libxslt installations
If you've got libxml2 and/or libxslt installed in a nonstandard place (read as "not /opt/local, /usr/local, /usr or the standard Ruby directories"), you can use command-line parameters to the
install command to grease the wheels:
gem install nokogiri -- --with-xml2-dir=/home/joe/builds
Or, you can specify include and library directories separately:
gem install nokogiri -- --with-xml2-lib=/home/joe/builds/lib
Note that, by default, libxslt header files are installed into the root include directory, but libxml2 header files are installed into a subdirectory thereof named
Luckily for you, building on Windows is so difficult that we've done it for you: Nokogiri comes bundled with all the DLLs you need to be NOKOGIRIFIED!
gem install nokogiri

Hopatcong Middle School and the borough elementary schools will open again on Tuesday after being shut down for two weeks from the damage caused by superstorm Sandy, superintendent Dr. Charles Maranzano said.
Maranzano said Hopatcong High School will remain closed until further notice, but it is possible the school could open its doors as early as Wednesday.
All schools had their power restored on Sunday, Maranzano said, but the buses cannot run on Monday because there are still hazardous road conditions outside.
Maranzano said that the schools that are opening on Tuesday will run on full schedules. He said the schools that were originally scheduled to have half-days from Tuesday to Thursday for parent-teacher conferences will have full days instead.
He said the parent teacher conferences will be postponed to either December or January.
"We've got to get kids in classrooms," he said. "That's the objective."
Maranzano said the high school can't open until the shelter is cleaned thoroughly, which could take 1-2 days.
The shelter will close Monday night, after the majority of the borough got power restored on Sunday.
In terms of making up the lost time, Maranzano said he's looking at a few options that will be decided on in the next few weeks.
He said he's in contact with the Commissioner of Education and the Governor's office to figure out the best solution. One of the possibilities Maranzano said he's looking at is to extend the school days so the total instructional hours in the year equals the required 180 days.
"That would help us if we could make up time in terms of equivalent hours," he said. "That's a suggestion that's been tested and used for many years in other places."
The schools would need to have 990 instructional hours by the end of the year to fulfill the requirements.
"I'm looking for a possibility of extending school days if the commissioner would allow it," he said. "And I would like to do a combination of taking some days away that were planned as holidays or vacation days and trying to use those variables to make up the time."

HONG KONG—Lenders from around the world are fueling a boom in short-term loans across Asia, helping push debt to record levels as a burgeoning middle class strives for a better lifestyle and banks look to diversify away from the slow-growing West.
As China's middle class grows, so does their debt. Shaun Rein from China Market Research talks about what Chinese consumers are buying with the 320 million credit cards currently in circulation in China.

Nonmortgage consumer credit in Asia outside of Japan rose 67% in the past five years to $1.66 trillion by the end of 2012, according to data provider Euromonitor International. In the U.S. the rise was only 10% during the same period as consumers cut back on debt following the financial crisis.
The lenders are targeting Asia's middle class, which is expected to grow by an average of more than 100 million people each year. They are pitching everything from credit cards to short-term installment loans for motorcycles and appliances. Interest rates can range from 15% for secured auto loans to as much as 40% for unsecured loans, appliances and electronics, driven by high demand for loans and little or no credit history for the borrowers. Loans are typically paid back over six months to five years.
For lenders suffering from a glut of deposits, low interest rates and weak economies in the West, Asia is crucial for their growth. By 2020, more than half of the world's middle class is expected to reside in Asia, compared with one-fourth in 2009, estimates Brookings Institution economist Homi Kharas.
Rising borrowing is expected in economies at this stage of development, and many of the companies have experience lending in markets such as these.
But some people are concerned about the growth. "The worry that's developing is that debt is being pushed onto borrowers who might not have the capacity to repay," says Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian economic research for HSBC Holdings HSBA.LN -0.91% HSBC Holdings PLC (UK Reg) U.K.: London GBp651.70 -6.00 -0.91% Sept. 23, 2014 4:45 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 23.40M P/E Ratio 12.83 Market Cap GBp125.94 Billion Dividend Yield 3.63% Rev. per Employee GBp182,626 09/23/14 Frederic Neumann: Opening Asia... 09/23/14 PRA's Bailey Calls for Interna... 09/23/14 Australia, China Shares Gain More quote details and news » PLC.

Lenders emphasized that they are being careful when they offer credit and said they were focusing on middle-class borrowers who could afford what they are buying.
Citigroup is expanding credit-card, mortgage and other consumer lending in a "disciplined manner in several high-growth markets" in Asia including China, India, Taiwan and Australia, bank spokesman James Griffiths said. In the first quarter of 2013, Citigroup's consumer lending in Asia grew 1% year over year to $69.3 billion.
Throughout Asia outside Japan, car and motorcycle loans nearly doubled from 2007 to 2012 to a record $219.7 billion. Appliance and electronics loans also more than doubled in the region to a high of $10.9 billion, Euromonitor data show. During this time, credit-card loans grew 90% to a record $234.1 billion, according to Euromonitor.
Overall debt levels in many Asian economies are lower than in the West, but debt burdens relative to individual income are up to 30% higher compared with the U.S. in countries such as Malaysia, China, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia and India, HSBC research shows. An added concern is that debt is a bigger burden for low-income people who have smaller financial cushions when times get tough.
Asia has a tortured history with debt. Over the past decade or so, Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong have all grappled with credit-card meltdowns that destabilized their economies.
Mindful of the risks, regulators in Asia are taking action. In the past year and a half, China, Malaysia and Indonesia have reined in mortgage, credit-card or motorcycle lending. Bank Indonesia Deputy Director Yunita Resmi Sari said the central bank imposed a minimum down payment for car and motorcycle loans last year to limit banks' credit risk and to ease consumers' debt burden.
Consumer groups in Asia, which until recently were focused on issues such as high utility bills and rising food prices, are also becoming concerned about aggressive lending and debt collection.
A leading Vietnamese provider of motorbike loans, Kuong Bank, advertises online a 1.91% monthly interest rate, equal to a more than 20% annual rate, but doesn't explain that borrowers pay interest on the full loan amount even as the balance is paid down, says Alice Pham, director of the Hanoi chapter of Consumer Unity & Trust Society, a research and advocacy group.
Kuong Bank didn't respond to requests for comment.

Grilled Jumbo Shrimp with Kimchi-Miso Butter
Photo: Anna Williams
More From Food & Wine
Recipe Time
25 Minutes
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 tablespoons yellow miso paste
- 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup kimchi, drained, pressed dry and finely chopped
- 12 plump scallions, bottom 6 inches only, white parts halved lengthwise
- Canola oil, for brushing
- 12 jumbo shrimp in the shell, butterflied (see Note)
- 1/4 cup shredded seasoned nori
- In a microwave-safe bowl, using a wooden spoon, beat the softened butter with the miso paste, toasted sesame oil and salt. Add the chopped kimchi and beat until blended. Microwave at high power for about 10 seconds, just until the butter is melted.
- Preheat the broiler and position a rack 6 inches from the heat. Preheat a cast-iron grill pan. Brush the scallions with canola oil and grill over moderately high heat, turning, until the scallions are tender and browned in spots, about 3 minutes. Transfer the scallions to a plate. Lightly brush the shrimp with canola oil and place on the grill, shell side down. Drizzle each shrimp with a scant tablespoon of the butter and grill for 3 minutes. Transfer the grill pan to the oven rack and broil for about 1 minute, until the shrimp are cooked through and glazed with the butter. Transfer the shrimp and scallions to plates and drizzle with more of the butter. Garnish with the shredded nori. Serve right away.
Note: Using a sharp knife, cut through the underside of the shrimp almost all of the way through. Pull out and discard the intestinal vein.

Just a Guy Handling Role Reversal
Who does what and what we expect from each other is often murkier than depicted in the July issue of "O."
Being the stay-at-home dad is supposedly accepted in our diverse and accepting culture. But the reality is different, as this dad has experienced, especially when introducing a new woman, my new wife, into the family. Who does what and what we expect from each other is often murkier than depicted in the July issue of "O."
In a nutshell, she goes to work; I stay home with the boys. I take them to school and deal with all their extra-curricular activities. I carry the larger load of discipline issues, and I do the majority of the shopping. She takes care of the house and does most of the cooking and cleaning. I'm the biological parent; she's the step. She teaches them manners; I teach them how to burp louder.
Should I be waiting, drink in hand, apron around my waist, to greet her after a long, hard day at work? Should she be interested in the minutia of how much I saved at Ralph's, using coupons, after she has just driven 90 minutes in traffic after a frustrating day in real estate ('nuff said about her career and its difficulties nowadays)?
We struggle. And, we have a teenager. He has said "You're not my mother," as every kid says to a stepparent at one point or another. That was instantly stopped, but it's still confusing to him after his biological mother abandoned my boys completely. Our younger one, desperate for a mother in his life, worships at the altar of my new wife.
Role reversal? Yeah, to the max. Working it out is our daily challenge. But, what do I know; I'm just a guy.

@ 10 (sorry. reply button won't work for me)
I agree that Blizzard needs to be mindful of how their decisions impact the opinion of their consumers. But is this really something thats causing widespread outrage? To me this seems like the very cliche' "small vocal minority" who are upset about this. And a company won't get very far when they elevate the minority over the majority.
This simply isn't on the radar for your average WoW player and I'm surprised they gave any response at all regarding the forum ban.

Notre Dame fought its way out of one of the worst slumps in school history.
Jimmy Clausen scored on a sneak and Maurice Crum returned a fumble 34 yards for another touchdown during a 50-second span of the third quarter, and the Fighting Irish won for the first time this season, 20-6 over UCLA on Saturday.
"When you're 0-5, everyone in the country is laughing at you," Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said. "The only thing you can do is do something about it on the field."
The Irish did.
After a school record 0-5 start, they won to avoid matching their longest losing streak. The victory was their first in eight games dating back to last season, and the only other time the Irish lost eight straight was in 1960, when they won their opener and did not win again until the final game of the season.
Pasadena again proved hospitable to the Irish. In Notre Dame's only other visit, coach Knute Rockne's "Four Horsemen" defeated coach Pop Warner's Stanford team 27-10 in the 1925 Rose Bowl to give the Irish their first undisputed national championship.
This time, Notre Dame (1-5) knocked UCLA quarterback Ben Olson out with a knee injury late in the first quarter, then pressured freshman redshirt McLeod Bethel-Thompson into mistakes the rest of the game.
A walk-on pressed into the backup role for UCLA (4-2, 3-0 Pac-10) because of an injury to Patrick Cowan, Bethel-Thompson had not thrown a pass in a college game.
The Irish picked off four of his throws, with Crum getting two interceptions to go along with his recovery of Bethel-Thompson's fumble that he ran in for a touchdown.
Clausen put the Irish ahead 13-6 when he bulled over from one yard out, with 1:53 left in the third quarter.
David Bruton set up the score when he intercepted a Bethel-Thompson pass at the UCLA 21 and returned it to the 4-yard line.
Crum gave the Irish a 14-point pad when he scooped up the fumble and took off for the end zone.
Notre Dame's Brandon Walker kicked a 26-yard field goal in the first quarter and a 48-yarder that bounced off the cross bar and went over to tie it 6-6 midway through the third quarter.
Kai Forbath kicked a 29-yarder in the first quarter, then gave UCLA a 6-3 lead with a 49-yarder late in the first half.
Bethel-Thompson completed 12-of-28 for 139 yards. Brandon Breazell and Joe Cowan each had five receptions for 69 yards for the punchless Bruins.
Clausen, a freshman who was a high school standout in the Los Angeles suburb of Westlake Village, completed 17-of-27 for 84 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
John Carlson had six catches for 38 yards for Notre Dame.
The oft-injured Olson left the game when Tom Zbikowski sacked him, twisting the quarterback's left knee, late in the first quarter. Olson fumbled on the play and Kerry Neal picked up the ball to give Notre Dame the ball at the Bruins' 1-yard line and set up Walker's first field goal.
Last year, Olson went out with a knee injury in the fifth game and Cowan played the rest of the season. Olson missed this year's game against Washington because of concussion-like symptoms.
We will have post-game reaction from Charlie Weis on Newscenter 16 at 6 on Sunday evening.

The new drought outlook is out and it's nothing but good news for the Upper Midwest as drought conditions are expected to nearly disappear in the next few months. This may not come as much of a shock to many just because of how much snow we have seen this winter and how much of it is still around. But what you may not know, is that snow doesn't alleviate drought conditions, no matter how much there is. It's because the ground is frozen and none of the water can percolate into the soil. So until the snow melts and the ground thaws, it is unable to soak up moisture. So, once the soil thaws, it looks like there will be a plethora amount of moisture to get us out of our light drought conditions. Here is the forecast from the Climate Prediction Center (CPC).

My name is Jacqueline Emerson. I am 17, a senior in high school, and a singer/actress who is lucky enough to be living out her dreams. I am weird, I smile a lot, and I dance when I am alone in elevators. One of my favorite things to do is put on shows with my sisters. I like to freestyle rap, write songs on the piano, and act out the characters in books (as I am reading them).
I wanted to make a tumblr to "spread the light". I want you to be able to come on here and read something that makes you smile. So you can see a video that makes you laugh. I think laughter is one of the things that makes us human, and its something none of us do nearly enough. I'm also going to post things that stop and make you think. I want to post things that will inspire people as much as they inspire me.
On that note, I want you all to send me anything and everything that strikes you. I hope this blog can become a place for inspiration, laughter and light.
Love, Jacqueline
Spread the Light <3

Movies and popcorn. On the surface I guess this looks like another vanity shot but I was debating whether to put this up because I'm not the sort of person who does these 'sorts' of photos, due to insecurity in regards to my looks and weight etc. I'm in a good place at the moment and the weight seems to be stripping off because I'm doing it for ME as opposed to trying to lose it to please others and to wear 'what all the skinny girls wear'. I think I'm at a place where I'm sorta comfortable with how I look for the first time in about 14 years and it's such a great feeling being able to take a photo without feeling the need to hide or angle parts of myself. Not giving a fuck is a very freeing feeling. #bodyconfidence #ithinkilookok #itsstillvaintho#effyourbeautystards #honoryourcurves #plussize #london #curvy #fatfatfattie

Plenty of actresses are eyeing the role of Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, and now it looks like Selena Gomez could possibly be thrown into the mix as a contender. Yes, Selena Gomez. As in the Disney star. As in Justin Bieber's girlfriend. I don't know whether to laugh or cry out of sheer panic at the thought of her innocent reputation being smeared by mommy porn.
At 19 years old, Selena is no baby, so I guess it really won't be a huge shock if she's toying with the idea of being Christian Grey's love slave. If nothing else, she's definitely interested in the book, judging from the new Funny or Die spoof she made called "Fifty Shades of Blue."
In Selena's version, she plays Anastasia's character and can't seem to fight her hungering lust for a painter who shows up at her door.
Take a look at Selena's Funny or Die "Fifty Shades of Blue" video below.
Pretty hysterical, right? Seriously though, how gross was that dude? If he cleared his throat one more time, I probably would've gagged.
All joking aside, however, I'm just not sure Selena is the right fit to play Anastasia Steele. She does look good on paper, being that she's about the right age, and she has the whole sweet and innocent thing down to a science. But somehow I just can't picture her getting all raunchy and submissive. (She does date the Biebs, after all. He doesn't strike me as the take-charge type.) Selena just seems a bit too squeaky clean for this role -- and honestly, I think it would flush her reputation right down the toilet.
Do you think Selena Gomez would be a good fit to play Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie?
Image via Funny or Die
she is very pretty just young
That would be a no. Like the first poster said, she looks 14. If she was in the movie, I'd constantly be thinking about statutory rape.
I haven't read the books, but I'm pretty sure that I know what they contain, and I don't think that Selena should have any part in the movie.
no way just aweful I also wouldnt read this book lol
She just looks like such a baby lol.
That was funny! I dont think she is right for the part in the movie.

On Friday, I was busy working on stuff at home when I read my email and found out that Bath and Body Works was having an amazing sale on candles. I remembered I had a coupon and so did my mom. My husband agreed to go for me since I was busy. He ended up making 2 trips (4 purchases in total for me, my mom, and my aunt). I ended up spending only $23.32 (includes tax) for 4 – 3 Wick Candles (normally 20 each). If I had bought them at full price it would have been $84.80. I saved 72.5%. Now that was one deal I will remember and love for several months when I burn my candles. My husband is also proud of himself for doing the shopping and fighting the crowds.

Fair value accounting and financial stability
AbstractAccounting standard setters are considering the wider use of fair value accounting. This paper focuses on the financial stability implications of a move in the banking sector from the current accounting framework to full fair value accounting. A simulation exercise is performed on how various external shocks affect the balance sheet of an average European bank under the two frameworks. The paper further investigates the impact of the alternative framework on the main balance sheet items, and the interaction with banks' risk management, supervisory tools and statistical requirements. It also examines how the application of fair value accounting to banks' trading book has impacted their share price volatility. It is concluded that the introduction of full fair value accounting could have a significant effect in terms of income volatility, procyclicality of bank lending and more generally financial stability. Hence, any move towards this alternative accounting framework should be gradual.
