3rd party accolades

The question, "How do you like Iceland?" has become so routine as a conversation starter with foreigners that there are several t-shirts printed with it as a slogan of sorts sold at shops and on-line. Obviously, the question is intended to invite foreigners to offer compliments about this fair land; Californians expect the compliments to be forthcoming without prompting, or know it all too well themselves, since most of them recently chose to move to California. But I think hearing 3rd party accolades is really nice at any point in time, and probably especially necessary these days in both California and Iceland, where things are kind of a mess.
