I think I want to move to Iceland! Seems to be a great place

to live! Anybody who already lives here please check-in with more. Dreaming here, but damn...it sure would be nice to live free of this administration and the "baggage" they bring with it.


---natural hot water supplies much of the population with cheap, pollution-free heating. Rivers, too, are harnessed to provide inexpensive hydroelectric power.

---The head of state plays no part in day-to-day politics.

---The standard of living is high, with income per capita among the best in the world.

---Life expectancy, at 81.3 years for women and 76.4 for men, is one of the highest in the world, and a comprehensive state health-care system aims to keep it that way.

5. I have been there.. For about a week..
It is crazy expensive.. And the only reasonable way to get in is getting married to a citizen. The population of the capital is about 130K. Reykjavík is very cool but it is really small. And they eat shitty food. But the women are hot. Fun to visit, wouldn't want to live there.

I don't remember seeing any trees. But yes, the women are utterly stunning.

7. I've always wanted to move there.
I don't think they except middle aged mental cases with an abnormal fixation on Godzilla movies though. :shrug:
