“The great Icelandic meltdown”
It seems to be the most talked about thing in the world to day and then I mean when the top of the iceberg of world globalization broke of in Iceland. Of course we Icelanders are still stark raving mad Vikings. That’s how we often have got things done on the island out in the North Atlantic ocean. In this economic meltdown in Iceland it only took few Viking men (notice not women) in good suite with fancy tie or with no tie and fancy hair to strand the Viking ship.
Those wild guys behaved pretty much like their ancestors 1 thousand years ago. Hard working fighters, quick to act, prepared all night to meet their opposition when it was at sleep and hitting it back before it was properly awake with an offer to "take it or leave it". And it worked. Oh yes, it did and it was incredibly easy. Plenty of money around with low interest rates for those energetic Vikings. They sailed out into to the big world to get their hands on everything that glowed. But then came the economic global tsunami and it was bigger than any volcano they had experienced in Iceland before. And they went deep, deep, deep under.
But lets not forget the rest of the nation, over 300 thousand hard working people. They have worked hard all their life; they got bigger lifesaving funds than the Norwegian oil fund per capital and they are survivors. In this situation they stick together, they take shovels in their hands, they push their fishing boats out into the see and use every hand starting to build on the ruins. They are used to surviving catastrophes by Mother Nature on scales much bigger than any atomic bombs and this is no different. If there is a nation of survivors it is the Icelanders. Already over 300 thousand people are pulling the Viking ship on float again, and it will not take a long time, only hard work. Then we will hopefully sale it on calmer seas.
Next summer Focus on Nature 2009 will offer a great workshop program build on our good experience from last summer. We expect to launch the 2009 program very soon on our website and then we have all winter to polish all the fine little details.
Five more workshops are being finalized within few days and we hope to add five more instructors to our program soon, so you can choose from about 15 workshops 2009.
So stay tuned to the Focus on Nature website and to Focus on Nature news, and don’t miss out on our exiting 2009 program with fantastic instructors to be fully launched soon.
