a few words...

Here I am in Nuuk enjoying a Cocio and the view on our veranda


At the moment I am at home at my parents house living off the fat of the land. This time I will be here for 5 weeks. It is great to see Nuuk - I like it more and more every time I come back - it is also great to see the people you only see once or twice a year.
My grandmother - Abuelita - will be visiting Nuuk while I'm here, Inger-Cecilie a good family friend will be visiting too and my brother will be gracing me with his presence for all of 5 days.
For my stay here, I have been lucky enough to get a job in the Home-Rule Government. I'm a studenthelper and I have yet to make coffee - believe it or not...


- remember, you can never have too much Cocio...

Kids in Tasiilaq - You gotta love 'em!

As you may or may not know, I spent 3 weeks in Tasiilaq, East Greenland, with my good friends Ben and Omeed. We spent our time with the Bahá'í community there and we volunteered at a free daycare Red Barnet. At Red Barnet we met many kids, they were loving and kind, Ben and Omeed managed to have a great time dispite the language barrier.

One day we each recieved somewhere between 10 and 15 small drawings as gifts from the children and we tried to give the children a few drawings in return.

The pictures should give you a small glimpse of the children in Greenland - enjoy!



You gotta love the kids!

One small step for mankind, one big step for Blog Free Ads....

Update: My blog moved to aliikkutat.gl

TASIILAQ, GREENLAND. They travelled long and far, across many seas, endured multiple airplane rides and one crammed helicopter ride, to climb one great, treacherous, snow-covered mountain—all to proclaim their support of Blog Free Ads!

Our onsite reporters managed to secure footage and interviews from the momentous occasion. Coca-Cola sponsored Omeed Rameshni was reported saying: “We came a long way to climb that mountain, and if it wasn’t for the continuous, unending support of Coca-Cola and Michelin. Well… who knows where we’d be right now…” his eyes glazed for a second, before he continued, “God Bless Coca-Cola, I mean, it’s not like I even drink it, or that they gave us any money or encouragement or any material or non-material support at all. No… it is the mere existence of Coca-Cola that got us through this one. And… I don’t even own a car—and when I did I had Bridgestone Tyres! But Thank-you! Thank-you Michelin and Thank-you Blog Free Ads!”
“Amen!” spoke Ben Hendershot in support, an avid fan of all sporting extra-curricular activities hosted by N.C. State University who was the onsite photographer.
Stephan Montgomery-Andersen, sponsored by Michelin, refused to comment for our reporters, but it was clear that he was very emotional. When someone mentioned Michelin a small tear ran down his face. During Omeed’s moving speech he was found nodding his head while rivers of tears streamed down his face.
We would like thank our sponsors, Coca-Cola, “Enjoy Coca-Cola” and Michelin, “Tyres for the next century” for their continuous support during this whole ordeal. This entire post would not have been possible without Blog Free Ads. And let’s hear it for N.C. State University too.
