Emigrate to Iceland, yea or nay?

Post Reply New Topic

I think there's more than one, I'm positive there's one in Iceland.

I haven't really looked into it.

It is weird

I also find it weird that despite the existence of Worcester (which Americans seem to be able to pronounce correctly) which is a town/city near Boston, so many seem incapable of pronouncing Worcestershire (sauce) correctly!

Before the Volcano I would have said yes. Since; well, I am not so sure.
I think the Icelanders are rather cool (sic!) and I admire the way they put their geothermal luck to good use.


ruveyn

its quite a long boat ride from where you are

pros:
wage disparity is low (more you earn the more you get taxed, so rich are not as vastly richer than most in the rest of the western countries poor)
its quiet i guess, less than half a million people
good education, they dont rote teach children (dont force feed things, but encourage self thought)
crazy sports (snow mobile pool surfing etc .)


cons:
could be difficult to emmigrate to unless your already scandinavian (i know Norway is but Sweden isnt so bad)
high taxes
Bjork
VOLCANOES!!1



edt spelling sure theres more

Thanks for the advice!

Prices in Iceland have fallen significantly, following the economic collapse.

Iceland? A country settled by Vikings?

A country where most of the people are blue eyed blonds like me?

Hell yes! Sign me up. I want to go home to live among my own people.

If anyone's emigrating to Iceland at the moment,I can meet you for a drink at Glasgow Airport just down the road from me (you'll need to fly from here if the volcanic ash is now disrupting Iceland's airports ! )

Pros: Hot Springs and the ladies who frequent them.

Cons: Cold all the time.

Perhaps it's better to just visit.
