Comment on I also have an opportunity to study abroad in Iceland. Is that also a good choice?

Nope, no joke. It was one of those dreams I never realized. Iceland has a lot of geothermal power plants and volcanic activity. I always wanted to live there and work at one. Also it’s geologically very similar to the place I was born.

The industry thing is sad though. They’re kind of economically deadlocked

I have no idea where you’re getting this from. Iceland is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Per capita, obviously.

And I think you’re getting your bubbles mixed up.

  Wait you’re right. It was not the Dotcom, it was the end of the Nordic Tiger period. Sorry I misspoke

    Dumb as a box of rocks. Just making shit up and getting called out everywhere you go. Typical liberal.

  Perhaps. This was Wikipedia stuff I read in like 2018. It said they had put money into a video game studio and internet companies. I can’t claim to know how they’ve faired since.
  
  What else would they have been doing? Their economy is mostly tourism otherwise, right?

    It is somehow not surprising that you use Wikipedia articles from 8 years ago as your sourcing.
