Iceland

[Carrollizer]

I have some aspirations of traveling to Iceland pretty soon(as soon as i have the money) anyone know if its outlandishly expensive to live there
i was looking at their Icelandic krona's and their next to worthless 10 bucks Canadian = 10,000 of their money
just wondering because i might be like that but have to spend millions of krona's for dinner
any input would be greatly appreciated

I don't think it's all that expensive to live there compared to Canada, especially since the collapse of their currency in the banking crisis. I do know that alcohol is highly taxed in Reykjavík, most people drink at home before going out to the bars.

There's some information on cost of living here (http://www.ask.hi.is/Apps/WebObjects/HI.woa/swdocument/1013750/Guide+for+International+Students+2008-2009.pdf):
