Only 1/3 of Icelandic voters think that joining the EU is a good thing.
My friend from college who is visiting from EU-land just shook her head. She’s my age and she now owns six apartments, two of them outright.
She’s not been receiving higher wages than I, nor is she better educated, better connected nor does she have rich parents.
Her paycheck just doesn’t disappear every month like it does here. She’s been able to build a life for herself in a honest and decent way.
Three politicians past their sell-out date contributed nothing towards Iceland’s future when they raised their voices this weekend. Hjorleifur Guttormsson wants Iceland to exit the Schengen agreement, Jon Sigurdsson thinks the Icelandic National Church has been a bedrock in these trying times and Gudni Agustsson has a nostalgia for “good old family Sundays”.
At the university, one classmate is preparing to leave Iceland for Norway. Another one is not wondering whether to leave, but what his exit plan should be.
