A former Santa on Xmas in a communist state
This is a top pick! I am living in the world's largest Communist nation - a huge country with 1.4 billion people and officially athetist - and guess what? Christmas in big here. That's right, the celebration of Christ's birth is a big festival. Or at least, so it seems ...
Ende
Ich habe meine letzten Tage der Reise in Montreal verbracht. Die Stadt hat einiges zu bieten und kann empfohlen werden. Heute habe ich mein Rad zum Flughafen gekarrt. Wie ueblich mit der Kartonbox um das Fahrrad am Flughafen zu verpacken. Die Leute haben ...
Airplanes and Roller Coasters
Right now, Meredith Rutledge and I are sitting side by side on the airplane. It's 7:44 p.m. or 2:44 a.m. in France. We are watching a movie about the history of roller coasters because nothing else is playing. We have a funny and nice flight attendant. I ...
Day 20. 20!?!?!
How is it Day 20 already??? I've come to the conclusion that nothing happened today, but I feel like I should write about something. It's another class day (World Lit and Global Issues) and therefore it can't possibly be very exciting. I'm really ...
Walking the Tundra
... that would have been to steam by our primary destination with only distant views of glaciers and icebergs! The majority of Greenland settlements are on the west coast, which while not an easy place to live is marked by fjords with glacier free coves, ...
Soleil de minuit
Un petit village perdu sur un caillou au milieu d'un paysage inimaginable et changeant, mouvant... A little village lost on a rock in the middle of tha unprobable, changing and moving ...
How We Never Got There
... ;and 22 of us even had a short swim in the pool, earning certificates that we had swam "along the coast of Greenland", becoming members of the exclusive Polar Bear Club. We were learning, however, that with the sea things can reverse themselves ...
Fuel stop in Greenland
Fascinating terrain and barren scenery along a long visual arrival for about 50 miles along a fjord to the ...

Lounge chairs and blue seas
I was concerned that our transatlantic voyage might have been a bit boring, but it has been anything but! So far we've learned the waltz in a ballroom dance class, had a brisk morning walk after breakfast every morning, shared afternoon tea with lots ...
The Journey
... and 2 Bailey's! We've only got one window seat between us, so once we hit land (not literally!) over Iceland and Greenland, we quickly lost out to Lyn with his geography lectures. Tegs hung on his every word as he explained about glaciers, icebergs, ...
Day 19
Is it cheating to list these in the countries that are closest? :D Finally caught up! I'm writing about today! I haven't been able to do that since that first day in Lisbon. I should be doing homework but this is much more fun. I really need to stay ...
Greenland - von oben wunderschön
Der Hauptflughafen von Island erinnert eher an einen Provinzflugplatz, es ist sehr beschaulich, wenn ein paar Kühe über die Startbahn gelaufen wären, hätten wir uns wohl nicht mal drüber gewundert. Die Preise für Wasser oder ein abgepacktes olles ...
Hearts and Minds...
We have been at sea since we left Bermuda 5 days ago, so there's really not much to report other than....the past few days have been a whirlwind. Shows, eating, trivia, renewing our wedding vows, black and white formal ball. As days at sea go, not just ...
Greenland Ho!
7:35 (London time) Halfway to Greenland, and nothing but water below. That's the first time this has happened to me! Say praise to ...
Greenland
Between yesterday and today we have visited Greenland. Yesterday we cruised through Prins Christian Sund and today are just off the coast of Qaqortog, visiting the small village with the help of the ship's tenders. Although the temperature is in the mid ...
Day 21
Today we had no classes so I just stayed in bed until like 9:30. By that point I'd missed breakfast and of course the minute I got up I was starving so I had to go to the "campus store" and buy a granola bar and some juice. I was feeling kinda mopey like ...
It's February...already!
... . Since I had finished my Danish book the week before, I went to the library to get a new one. I found a novel set in Greenland, but written by a Danish author. The title is "ímaqa" – maybe. Though, here in East Greenland, one says uppa and not ...
Finally in Greenland
... you see sledge dogs everywhere. Sometimes it seems that they compete in whining and you can hear them everywhere in town. East Greenland is very different from South Greenland. It’s hillier here and it’s less Danizised. Tasiilaq is also quite ...
Day three of ship life
... flag! So things haven't been to exciting... well, we did find ice cream on the top deck for $1.50! We are closest to Greenland right now, but we are still really far away. We are currently five hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time and in the next two ...
Water, water, water.
So, I have to make this short because i have a meeting in four minutes. I can't believe it is almost 7pm and i actually got an empty computer. Not too much has happened since last time, but i thought i would tell you about it anyway. All day yesterday ...
Piteraq – Birthday – Northern Lights
Hej! I spent a truly amazing birthday in Greenland! It was really special! Already on Monday, I was told that there had been a piteraq (a cold wind which originates on the Greenlandic icecap and sweeps down to the east coast) warning and that the storm ...
