Q: Name a language only 300,000 people in the world speak.
A: Icelandic.
Yes, I'm learning Icelandic. I bought two separate sets of book + CDs, and I've been carrying one with me (Teach Yourself Icelandic) ever since I booked my flight in June. The folks at work probably think I'm sneaking sips of it like a wino with cheap chardonnay, but the truth is, I haven't had as much time as I would have liked to enjoy the privilege and pleasure of joining such an exclusive club.
My pronunciation may be atrocious, but I'm willing to take that chance, as I'm drinking vodka-spiked beer and eating the local delicacy (rotten shark meat) that I'll strum at least a few heartstrings, albeit over $9 pints of Viking.
So what the hell am I doing in the most expensive country in the world?
Going broke, that's what :)
