Monday I will go and get me an icelandic passport. The news: after living more than thirty years in Iceland I finally decided to become icelandic officially. Up to two month before I have been german. I haven´t been to Germany in 15 years. So I found it a necessary step to become icelandic. And I am proud of it. Iceland is a great country and my home. I like to make statements. When I decided that I really didn’t believe in the teaching of the church I went and resigned. I don´t like to be a follower in something that I don’t believe in. Some people around me laugh at this. It is important for me.
We are a quite wildly european family, splattered from Germany to Iceland, Portugal, Norway, mixed with a bit of Kurd and Israel. One summer at home we had to juggle between six languages. I took part in three. Me, that is german, english and icelandic. I can safe myself in french. Monika brought russian with her. So, we will go quite a way. We even know a chinese young man. He could help us out, too, if it should prove life saving.
