I love Iceland and have visited there a couple of times. Truth is, I can only remember meeting one person from Iceland outside Iceland and that was in London. I didn't think anyone ever left. She may have to settle for Danes.

Is it true that Icelanders live without pain?

'Cause that's what I'm hearing 'round here...

all Icelanders feel pain, where you got that idea or gossip, whatever doesn´t make sense. No pain, no gain, no matter what you do,,emotionally or physically we all get the pain from time to time.

Hi, a lot of the younger Icelanders go to the colleges and universities all over the world. They are really spread out but somehow they eventually return to Iceland.
There´s a lot of changes going on in the country. too much building and too much of
everything. But it´s still very unique..fun to hear that you like the country thanks
for your positive attitude.
