Oct 3rd, 2008 I Am Reading About Greenland......and slowly plotting along with Klarissa's story. Greenland sounds very interesting culture-wise; and anyone who has gazed at Greenlandic nature views knows how beautiful it is. Yet, would I want to go and visit Greenland? On that one I'm really not sure. First of all: it's expensive. Secondly, they only eat fish, seal and caribou up there (mostly) and I've been bred on American food. Thirdly, a lot of the country does not have things like flush toilets (!), running water, or hot water for your bathing needs (mm; doesn't sound too appealing). Fourthly, I absolutely HATE mosquitoes... and during the summer months, the mosquitoes are so numerous you are advised to wear a 'head net' to keep from being eaten alive during your hikes. Fifthly: transportation in and around the country is tediously slow; if you are there and a storm comes along, you may have to wait hours - or days, depending on the severity of the weather - before you can get from Point A to Point B. Scandinavian travel also isn't cheap; however I like to learn about these different places, because I sometimes take notes and use certain info as background information in my stories. After my 'book trip' to Greenland I am going to Hungary; then it's on to Norway, Svalbard and Longbearyen, Iceland and Romania. Will update Klarissa's 'situation' in a future blog entry.
