Tourists are a sort of entertainment for us, because we are curious who is crazy enough to come here and visit.
We go hunting for reindeer, seal, musk ox and other delicious animals with a rifle, and sometimes we go to stores right before we go into nature. Deal with it.
I understand Greenland seems to be covered only in glaciers when you look at it on a map, but we also have mountains and plant life on the coast.
You don’t need a car to go a store or to meet up with someone. If you want a ride, the public bus can take you to the furthest place you’re probably going in just 20 minutes.
Understand that if you want anything other than Greenlandic food, it’s imported from another country — especially fresh fruits and vegetables. Just eat more meat while you’re here.
There’s actually a reason they are called wild animals. They live in the wild and not in city where you probably are.
Tour guides are hard to find if you don’t know a local who is willing to show you around and it doesn’t happen to be tourist season. The tourist season is usually in August but don’t exactly expect this to be Phuket, Thailand, where foreigners take over the streets.
Please look at a map and notice how far north you are.
From Monday through Friday the sale of alcohol is from 9am to 6pm. On Saturday from 9am to 1pm and there’s no sales on Sunday. So, if you want wine for your dinner, you better check your watch and know what day it is.
If you are lucky to meet a local and get invited to a kaffemik, a celebration such as birthday or wedding, which usually is held at the home of the host, you can come any time you want and leave whenever you feel like it. And of course, eat until you can’t eat anymore because the main reason for kaffemiks is to offer food and drinks to the guests.
