Vikings - Kaffihús!

Yes, Icelanders do love coffee! Let's have a chat over a cup of coffee (or some other beverage if you'd prefer)!

We are trying to set up a time-slot for a weekly Vikings chat -- if you are interested in participating please let Leah know via e-mail vikings at welcome.to. In the meantime, here are some ways you can get in touch with other Icelanders...

IRC - Internet Relay Chat

If you are looking to chat with other Icelandic Canadians or Icelanders, your best bet is to connect to IRC on an IRCNet server, choosing one of the following channels:

#iceland

#iceland18+

#joko

This can take some patience though, as there are usually a lot of people in the channels and most of the conversation may be Icelandic. However, it can be worth it if you meet up with someone who turns out to be a good penpal!

If you want to try out IRC for the first time, you need an IRC client (software program) first. Click here to go to the mIRC homepage to get a copy of mIRC and to read all about it.

Web Chat

If you have Netscape 2.0 or above, you can also click here to chat with real live Icelanders! Don't be scared if there is a lot of Icelandic, you will probably get answers back in English too!

Looking for a penpal?

Browse the SOC.PENPALS group, or do a search for Icelandic penpals on DejaNews
