I understand that you have moved to legalization and not run away from want? What is the standard of living in Iceland? What is the average salary there? How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Reykjavik? If it's not difficult for you to answer, of course.

I have long wanted to go north to Iceland,
Trample the mysterious ice mantle.
There are no big trees there, all the plants are dwarfs,
Northerners populate
Reykjavik Reykjavik Reykjavik Reykjavik .....

It's a bit strange here in Spain, we opened a club to have a license to grow but it's still not exactly fully legal, it's loopholes in the laws that allow the cannabis clubs to operate in Spain.
Iceland is very expensive today, food and rent is crazy these days but the standard of living is still good, we have plenty of fresh water and hot water from the ground to heat the houses.
Electricity is not very expensive but pretty much everything else is
It's a safe place to live with very low crime rates but the weather is not very nice, it's very windy, in Reykjavik it rains 15 days a month on average.
But for having a family and raising kids it's one of the most safe places to live.
Plus it's beautiful.

Holy shit bro that's awesome
I have some friends coming over to help with my garden in a few minutes, I'm gonna play them this song, they are Ukranian
Yes north of the county is stunning, very different from the south. It's where my favorite mountain is, Hlíðarfjall.

I have a friend who lives in Spain, yes, he also says that it is very difficult there in fact, although legalization, there are a lot of pitfalls in the law about this.
You need a lot of money, and it's better to be a native. It's the same in the USA! But if you have a lot of money, then this is not a problem in any country.))))
Yes, that's why I asked, because .. in neighboring Ireland the prices for food and rent are also exorbitant, if I'm not mistaken, then higher than in the UK. The reason for that was always incomprehensible to me.
Hot water from the ground - you mean geysers?
Do you show seismic activity?
This is the reason why I do not know anything, and practically have not heard anything about Iceland.))) Because in this country nothing happens that would interest the press ... except natural disasters. Therefore, I associate Iceland exclusively with the cold.))) No, I forgot .. even the Vikings .. but it was a long time ago! But in any case, it remained in the genes, because northern people are famous for their gloomy character. If the term "Nordic", in relation to the character of a person, is familiar to you, then you understand what I mean.
Ireland is another matter, I know much more about this country, there is a civil war, and a confrontation with England, the IRA .. I remember at a time that almost every day on the news (during the Soviet era), they showed what horrors sometimes take place in Ireland ...
Yes, your nature is wonderful! Something similar can be seen in Siberia, but there are wild places, and you live in this beauty in a civilized way!
Say hello to them from Kharkov.

Yes it is very strange in Spain, the cannabis laws are not very clear and sometimes lawyers will tell you two different things.
So you are never sure what is ok and what is not.
The cost of living in Reykjavik is a little bit higher than in Dublin and is really onpar with New York. Imagine that city of 8 million vs 122 thousand and you pay about the same.
We have geysers yes, hot ground water that has been heated by magma close to the surface is used to warm up our houses.
Lot's of earthquakes indeed but thankfully almost always under 6 Richter scale. Before this volcanic eruption that's going on now back home they had 50.000 earthquakes.
Hahaha you put it perfectly, where nothing ever happens
Gloomy you are right again, we Icelanders are world champions at eating anti depressants
We use a lot more of those pills than other Scandinavian countries.But in general we Icelanders are fun and want to have a nice time, in essence we are island people.
Thank you, you do have some stunning places in your big country as well bro, huge beautiful forrest's full of wild animals.
But I must learn more about your country and your people, they've been so good to us here.
Thank you, I will send them your regard
Nice! If he's in France that's great, good schools and even better food, I hope your son does well in his studies.

This is something I've known for a long time, tovarishBro, you showed up just in time. I want to share with you one interesting fact:
Recently I was looking through historical documents of the 20s of the 20th century, and came across a very interesting story. In the 1920s, an unprecedented special operation of the Soviet counterintelligence was carried out. This operation was included in the textbooks. In the course of this operation, British intelligence was disgraced. Because they were deceived like a child. One of the key figures was the English intelligence officer Sidney Reilly
Sidney Reilly - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
And the most interesting thing is that Sidney Reilly was the prototype of James Bond in Ian Fleming!
And what's even more interesting is that Sidney Reilly was born in Odessa.)))
Damn, James Bond is Russian too.))

I've also heard this applies to home growers as well. That even if you grow multiple plants, there can be problems.
The cost of renting a home is usually tied to the standard of living. But I heard that in Ireland the average monthly salary is about $ 2,000, which is probably lower than in New York. I know that in the United States, ordinary people who rent housing, and there are a lot of them, pay most of their salaries for housing; it is difficult to pay for housing. I wonder how things are in Iceland. People probably also complain. or how they manage to get out of the situation with such a low salary?
About 30,000,000 people live in Moscow, together with micrants. Apartment rentals are the same as in New York too. Of ordinary people who are forced to rent housing, they have to live in very poor conditions ... Yes, electricity and so on, it is also cheap in Moscow .. somewhere two times lower than in Ukraine.
Yes - you have really harsh conditions. No such seismic activity is observed in Siberia.
Bro is all out of boredom, I understand you! But you have no idea ... how I missed the calmness. As the Russians say, we can only dream of peace!))
And we are Russian world champions in the use of vodka!))))
This was my country when I was in the USSR))) Now this is not my country, Bro. And no matter how paradoxical it sounds, we are now forced to believe that Russia is our enemy! It's sad!
I really miss the days when we were brothers!
As Winston Churchill said - Russia as "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.")))
It's not easy, Bro, to learn Russian .. just like learning Russian, it's very difficult.)))
Portugal.
France is almost like Reykjavik)))) In Portugal, rental housing is the same as in Ukraine and food prices are the same .. I would need to sell my soul to the devil in order to send my son to France to study.))) We can afford it far few!
Yes you are right! I have already said that there was no reliable information before. All this was conveyed in an artistic style. Movies, fiction, etc. There, everything was brought up so sweetly and smoothly that it was simply impossible to believe in such a thing .. But this is like what we were told that Lenin was a god and all his deeds were almost sacred.))) Well, how can I believe this? )) My ancestors lived at that time on collective farms and I knew perfectly well from their stories what actually happened in those days .. bloody mess! 20s - it was darkness and utter chaos! Therefore, it was very difficult to distinguish between truth and fiction in Soviet propaganda. Also here: the story with that British agent looked very fabulous, then I did not believe it and took it for propaganda! After they began to declassify the materials and publish them, then it turned out that it was all in fact .. without exaggeration! I was very surprised!)) I wanted to know if you knew about this!

I don't know the details of his story, only that Ian Fleming used him as a model. I Ihink today's James Bond would be very busy.
i was thinking about how you said Ukrainians are forced to believe Russia is your enemy these days. Politicians say many things, most of which are lies. There are too many Russians in Ukraine for you to be enemies forever. Outsiders, like Americans, want you to be enemies. They ignore the truth only because it to their advantage.

yes, of course, Bro, I read Fleming with rapture once)) Perhaps I knew that the prototype was someone Sidney Riley, an English super agent. But for me it was a surprise that this is not really Riley, but Sigmund Markovich Rosenblum, a native of the city of Odessa (Ukraine).
yes, now old James will have to stretch his aching joints.))) It's time for a new round of the Cold War. But times have changed. If then the United States dominated the Cold War, and the USSR was catching up, now the opposite is true. I'm just amazed at how much the power of Russia has grown in recent years - it's incredible.
Several years ago you asked me a question: What, in my opinion, is the way out of the crisis for Ukraine? I answered you: Make peace with Russia! There is no other way out! Everyone understands this, even the government. But the puppet government is forced to do exactly the opposite! Ukrainian military equipment is being pulled up to the border, now the conflict is escalating again!

No no no Russia is not equivalent to the United States, no matter how much the politicians on both sides would like to make it so.
The economy of California alone is bigger than all of Russia.
Americans are hopelessly corrupt, it seems. This is what the end of an empire looks like.

I believe that you are talking about the military budget now.))) Yes, in the United States the military budget per year is 700 billion, and in Russia it is 70 billion dollars.
But that doesn't say anything at all. I remember very well what the Soviet press wrote during the first cold war! Everyone was horrified just by how the US was building up arms! This is what was promoted then! It was clearly evident that we were catching up .. and we could not catch up! What is being written in the Russian press now? They relish Biden's fall on the gangplank and his dementia - made a clown of him. In the days of Reagan, this was not ... whatever it was, but he was treated with respect, as a worthy enemy! Biden is now being laughed at in Russia! The fact that he quarreled with China is another very big mistake of his! China and Russia are close and ready to cooperate! For .. literally: To comply with international law! In order not to infringe upon those who do not like the United States, but there was equality! What is it fraught with? You will see.
What did you say about California there?)))
I once said that China will take the lead .. it turns out that China is not enough for the United States .. even for California.)) But the tandem of Russia and China will make the whole world tense up! This is already annoying!
Bro, is Biden really stupid or is it just me?
Bro .. come on ... it was all the way! There was Kennedy in the 20th century, there was Roosevelt, I deeply respect them .. I don't know your other presidents! Pure militarism! There is too much lust for profit in your state ... and they understood it perfectly, that you can only sell weapons in war! This is US policy! Aggressive wars under the guise of democracy, tens of millions of innocent lives perish from these warriors! Women and children! This is not a war on the territory of the state, like Chechnya, no, this is an aggressive war!

What I'm saying is that the economy of the State of California alone is much larger than the economy of Russia. It's not even close.
The simple fact is that the United States uses Russia to bully and frighten its own citizens into tolerating a ridiculously large military budget, one that cannot be justified by any means other than outrageous lies.
Of course Russia must defend itself politically and militarily; the United States has wrecked the country and installed its own hand-picked leaders in the Russia in the not so distant past. That's how Boris Yeltsin the drunk came to power.

)) Bro, do not forget that Yeltsin is crazy, this is not Putin, a KGB officer. You can't buy it so easily for the Nobel Prize.))) He claims the laurels of Peter the Great.))) He is a tsar, like Alexander 1 in 1812.
What budget did France have then, and what did Russia have? Half the world worked for Hitler, including Henry Ford and the Rothschilds, also compare the equipment and weapons of the Red Army and the German Army .. Military equipment was created by Ferdinand Porsche, BMW, Siemens, General Electrics (USA) !!!!, Skoda, Citroen, etc. ...
And the Russian brand is balalaika and vodka)))
How much do you think the Gagarin rocket cost, and how much did the American rocket cost?))) Better not to find out, you will be very surprised!))) Probably because the Gagarin rocket had a pedal drive, like a bicycle))
Bro, I'm serious about it now: it doesn't matter how much money is there. A Russian person mostly depends on his mood.
As the Russians say .. I don’t know how to translate exactly ..
"If we have to, we will drink and have fun, but if death comes, then we will die!" it is a folk song.
