Hey guys!
I know it’s been a while, years probably, since I last posted a message here, but I suppose I must’ve felt that nothing I’d been doing had been worth mentioning here. In fact, I totally forgot how to use this site. I wasn’t gonna count up all the stuff I’ve been doing since last time, but rather just drop by to tell you that I’m in Greenland, and hope you’re all very jealous.
I got this job here and I’m staying a month while I’m on vacation from Perlan, where I’m working still. (less than a year to go now) It’s actually Seb’s fault I’m here, since he spoke so much about going to Greenland last year, that I just couldn’t pass up this opportunity. I’m almost sorry to let him know that I’m having a good time too, but at least he’s gonna come by for a visit at the end of my tour. Right now, the weather is beautiful (somebody told me the temperature regularly reaches 25 degrees) and I managed to find some time to myself to write you guys this, so I’m sitting outside my “café” typing away. This place is called Café Brattahlid (you can google it and find a single picture) which is located in something called Qassiarsuk, which is not at all far from Nassarsuak.
Like almost everything here, it’s beautifully placed near a fjord filled with small icebergs drifting slowly by. It really looks a lot like Iceland and remotely reminds me of Bifröst and life there. Most of the time, I hang around in the kitchen, but as I figure out how things work, I hope to find more time to spend away from work. This place is almost the only thing around with regular opening hours, so a lot of people come by for coffee and socialising. (AND my great food and cakes, of course) I almost feel like a housewife stuck in her home like that. But it sure is cozy, and like I said, I do try to get outside. So far, I’ve gotten to go with some fishermen down the fjord to empty some nets and then I’ve also walked across to the next fjord. (it’s all about fjords around here).
It sure is beautiful, and people are nice, so I don’t think it’s gonna be a problem to spend the next four weeks here. Anyway, I didn’t really mean to make this all about me. I’m not really a mean or self-centred (am I???) guy, but I have to admit I really just wanted to rub your noses in this one. I’m in Greenland, and it’s f****** great!!

ndlr : I, seb, is going to visit him from the 14th to the 17th. Any one wants to team up ?
