The Icelandic króna has fallen lower than ever before in its history (since 1944), in the last couple of weeks. We're talking a decreased in value of 30-40%, relative to the dollar and Euro, and yet most salaries are frozen and not increasing. That's a huge problem. When the Bear Stearns bailout happened earlier this year, a LOT of jobs were eventually cut in Iceland. Just another reason for why we are leaving by Christmas.
