Living in Iceland
2005.10.14
We all know how great it is to live in another country, to discover new ways of life, new landscapes, to be overwhelmed by the differences and the similarities. Before the blogs were fashionable, you had to wait for your best friends’ letters sent from the other end of the world, to borrow travel books by anthropologists or novelists at the local library. Now you’ve got the internet, and those great blogs…
Three of them are woth visiting regularly if you’re interested in Iceland. Here you’ll find hints about what’s going on in the political field, what are the habits of Icelandic white collars, what you can watch on TV or listen on the radio (even if you hardly speak the language), where you should do some shopping in Reykjavik, which place you shouldn’t miss when you visit Iceland, what you can expect from an icelandic viking on a saturday night, why you shouldn’t bother if ever you meet Björk in a bar… Those three blogs are well krafted and brillantly written, they can be funny and fascinating at the same time. A must-read for those of you who think that Iceland is a must-see.
