The country that I have selected for my assignment is Iceland. I am going to share some of my perceptions of Iceland which are not influenced by any other external factors. Iceland in my opinion should be rich in their own culture, whereby it can be very different and unique from their neighbouring countries. As I felt that not many people actually heard of or known where Iceland was, therefore I perceive Iceland as a country with its own authentic culture not influenced by people from other countries. Like most European countries, I believe that the people in Iceland will spend quite a bit of their spare time appreciating arts and music.
I feel that the people in Iceland celebrate festivals and special occasions similar to other European cities. Since entertainment in Europe is generally focused on music and arts, in my opinion there will be more music festivals and art exhibitions dedicated to its people in Iceland as well.
After the research, here is the overview of the facts of Iceland.
Iceland is located at Northern Europe and its people consists of descendants of Scandinavians and Norse. The estimated population size of Iceland as of July 2011 is 311,508. Icelandic, English, Nordic languages and German are the languages spoken in the country. The culture of Iceland, just as what I perceived, are mainly focused on design, literature, visual arts, music, film and performing arts. Their culture and passion for arts are evident even in the streets of their country.
