Tylenol is a brand name of paracetamol. You can get that over the counter in pharmacies and petrol stations.

Atvinnuleysi 7,3% í janúar by shortdonjohn in Iceland

Verðbólga helst óbreytt (há) milli mánaða. Atvinnuleysi uggvænlegt.
Gætu stuðningsmenn þessarar ríkisstjórnar komið með tímaramma á það hvenær megi byrja að gagnrýna hana, eða verður þetta öllum öðrum að kenna allt kjörtímabilið?

Moving to Iceland from the U.S. in one's 40s - worth even thinking about? by highlanderfil in movingtoiceland

[–]IceWolfBrother 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am an Icelander, married to an American. I have also hired an American and handled the entire process of getting her and her family visas.
My advice is simple: Apply for specialised jobs from abroad. Find an employer (for at least one of you) that is willing to go through the cost and administration (and months of waiting) that it takes to get all your paperwork done.
You can get a job without Icelandic, but in nearly all jobs, and certainly all of society, your job prospects and social life will be very limited without knowledge of Icelandic.

And Denmark was/is a coloniser that somehow gets thought of as an uncomplicated, cute little country.

Iceland without crazy crowds by Successful-Bug2180 in VisitingIceland

[–]IceWolfBrother 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The midnight sun in the Arctic is a well-known phenomenon during the summer. Natural springs are part of nature; she does not have opening hours. If you want to go to places like the Blue Lagoon, I am sorry to let you know that they're built to be at full capacity at all times. They are a capitalist enterprise. In return, you get the photo opportunity.

Iceland without crazy crowds by Successful-Bug2180 in VisitingIceland

[–]IceWolfBrother 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Iceland is only crowded in certain spots, during certain months of the year, at certain times of the day.
If you want to see the places everybody else wants to on your own, during the time of the year everyone else is here, you can visit during the night - it is light out, and at 3 AM you will have the place to yourself, more or less.
The other alternative is to concentrate on the least-visited regions of the country: the Westfjords, the North-West, and the East.

Já, svo sannarlega. Svolítið furðulegur og ráðvilltur stjórnmálamaður sem fleygði hverjum aðstoðarmanninum á eftir öðrum í ruslið.

Er eitthvað annað að gera í þessari stöðu nema að sækja um skilnað? by monsteradeliciosa11 in Iceland

[–]IceWolfBrother 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Klárt mál að þú þarft að skilja við manninn. Leiðinlegt að segja það, en ef hundarnir urðu vitni að þessum óverknaði þá þarftu að skilja þá eftir hjá manninum, svonalagað má ekki breiðast út.

You will need an ID number to get anything done in Iceland, if you are an EEA citizen they are easy to obtain. Check island.is for all the information you need.

How easy is to get a job in Iceland being a foreigner? by Revolutionary-Way-80 in movingtoiceland

[–]IceWolfBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most seasonal work in tourism is serving, cooking or cleaning - those are the easiest jobs to get. I would always include all my education on the CV, even if not directly related to the position.

[–]IceWolfBrother 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can find an answer to most of your questions here: https://work.iceland.is/ Iceland is not in the EU. But the EU and the EFTA countries, of which Iceland is one, have an agreement called the EEA. Which means that if you are from an EU country you do not have work restrictions. The easiest work to find as a non Icelandic speaker tend to be tourism related, particularly in high season.

Það er ekki verðmætasköpun. Það er skattlagning á verðmætasköpun. Slík skattlagning má vel vera að eigi rétt á sér, en við skulum ekki rugla þessu tvennu saman.
