They are in fact headhuntet by the Norwegians. Simple reason not all Icelandic people are bankers and did not loose their heads. They prefer Icelandic workers above others due to: 1) willingness to build up a live in Norway 2) High educated 3) Hard workers 4) Less cultural differences (Norwegians are hars on this point) 5) Speak often the languange or learn it quickly In Norway Icelandic people are respected workers.

Now at least I hope that they will never go back to the crazyness of slogans like "we are the richest people in the world" and stuff like that. Because at the end modesty goes a long long way. Now Icelanders have realized what this nation really is, and they need the help and collaboration from and with other nations to progress. I can tell you right now that the government is coming with aditional cuts. They are firing lots of nurses and doctors in periferical regions in the country. Trying to put health service at its minimum. In Reykjaness area, for example, it will be one doctor for each 5000 people. That means, for example, that if you are a tourist and you need emergency assistance at Keflavik airport you will have to be taken to Reykjavík and arrive there in around 1 hour. Depending of the matter, you can be sure you will pretty death by the time you enter the hospital. People in many parts of the country are collecting signatures to try to make the government see that health care, doctors and nurses are very necessary in a widely spread population out of the Reykjavík area. Some locations have just 200 people, and doctors are many kilometers away. So, at this point, you could get better health asistance ( ratio per habitant) in any African country than here in Iceland. Many doctors sit home without a job while people need to take long trips to just see a doctor. People is qeuing in crowded hospitals, and they have to wait 3 times more. The service for long sick people have been reduced to the point they have to go back home and family members without jobs, resources nor money have to take care of them. It is really bad. In education they have cut so much that 25% of people applying to study at secondary schools will be rejected. Unemployed people have to pay for privat founded schools ( háskólabrú, etc...) if they want to get education. Háskólabrú costs 600.000 isk a year. In this scenario where lots of young people is just hanging around with no other choice of improving their lives, alcoholism and criminality is scalating every month to the point that by now all icelandic prisons are FULL of people. Judges have to let people walk freely around on the streets because there is no place for them in jail. And someone named here above that Iceland is a peaceful place, like if we lived in the green fields of Heidi cartoons... Well, that is not true at all, specially when they have cut the police force. Policemen in iceland said on the newspapers that they are working under minimum conditions of security, and that streets are unattended and without vigilance, because they don't want to hire more policemen, nor pay the ones who are now for extra working hours. So go figure... I think that after all, icelanders seem to be learning a lot out of this kreppa.

Another thing even with higher taxis as long as we know how to handle our meagre income hopefully we will survive in Iceland because it is very peaceful. The government is trying very hard and hoping they will be more transparent in dealing with the economy and home front. This is a world wide problem and there is no place to hide but here the voice of the majority is still strong, very strong and in union there is strenght.
