Terrific!Meh. .. from all of the on-line guides, it looks like it changes from region to region, and varies from day to day.How long were you there for, is it windy every day?I have always thought if I were to move to Europe, I would go to Iceland, they always had the most sane government in my view.
I love their history, and the geography and land is spectacular. It is like heaven on Earth.
Their weather is a bit cool. The winters there are more mild than here around the Great Lakes, so that would be a bonus, but their summers, are much, much cooler.
OTH, I admired the hell how they dealt with their bankers since the 2008 collapse, and they have had phenomenal growth since then.
Another bonus? It isn't officially part of the EU, though it has many tight treaties with it.
. . . added to that, if I thought it were safe to come back to visit relatives and friends, the travel costs to NY would probably be cheapest too.
If you had to go through the pain of learning a new language. . . I guess, that would be the price worth to pay. . .

I’ve been to Iceland. The weather would get me down. Struggling against the wind.
People don’t think about things like that, beforehand.
It’s not constant. Comes and goes. Catches you unawares. I saw one lady blown over to the ground from a sudden violent gust. As we were standing there, admiring the waterfall.
My state has some of the shittiest weather in the Union, and my location in my state has the least sunshine in the entire union, even less than the Pacific North West.
All weather is fine if you aren't a pussy.
Only women and children bitch about the weather.
The strength of those gales; can’t compare.
And I come from a windy country.
Sounds similar to home. . . .
