Should you visit GREENLAND & Nuuk - shops, markets and culture

Hello everyone! This is the seventh video in my Iceland & Greenland series.
My adventures in Greenland, my 65th country (well, depending on how you count them), continues.
In this video, I get the chance to explore Nuuk on one of its busiest days of the year - Kids' Day. There are a lot of people out and about and I thought it was an ideal day to explore the cultural side of the capital.
I start my day with a quick bus journey around the city and talk with an interesting bus driver. Afterwards, I frequent a variety of shops, including clothing shops, the big Nuuk shopping mall, the tourist information office and local markets to name a few. I also meet some friendly local people along the way! The day ends with a Colour Run as part of the festivities - yours truly as a spectator only though!
At the end of the vlog, I also give my verdict on whether Nuuk is worth visiting after spending a few days there. I won't ruin the suspense for you, but there is a bit of a twist...

Really interesting one willie, cool to see a place like this because id have no idea what it would be like just imagining it!

[@willieexplore]

Thank you very much mate! You do the same for me with your travels!

[@Swanoaks]

Wonderful video for a free Greenland tour before starting my day. Thanks so much ! Helloes from Mexico City.

[@willieexplore]

Gracias Eduardo! Glad I could contribute to your morning entertainment and thank you very much for watching my content!

Hi Willie ... that is a really nice video ... like your "go around and meet people" style! Very pleasant, and fun! Nuuk is on my bucket list, but a few other places a bit higher ... like South Africa! Actually, a number of places in Africa where I have some former students (I taught at UArizona). Safe travels, Willie ... Greetings from Tucson. [BTW, I have a "funny" connection to Drew Binsky ... he's a few countries ahead of you, but you're catching up!]

[@willieexplore]

Hi Jim! Very nice to hear from you and thank you for your support! Absolutely happy to give some travel tips re Greenland and South Africa if you need them - between myself and Drew (an inspiration to us all) you will be well covered in that regard! I haven't been to Tucson yet but, like everywhere, it is on the list :)

[@aviationphan1847]

Great video, 65 countries, wow. Love to know any that particularly stood out and that you recommend.

[@willieexplore]

Cheers my friend, quite a lot stand out for different reasons. South Africa will always be close to top of the list, but that's because I am biased. As a city I really enjoyed Tallinn - do check out my Estonia vlogs if you haven't already :)

[@aviationphan1847]

​@willieexplore Great, thank you - will check that out!

[@oscarbosio9881]

Se nota claramente como la gente aprovecha al máximo las buenas temperaturas y el sol para hacer actividades al aire libre. La ciudad se nota muy dinámica, con modernos edificios, mucho transito, buen transporte urbano, en crecimiento Siempre me llamó la atención Nuuk.

[@willieexplore]

Definitivamente!

[@mayousimon1]

I like watching travel videos. Particularily Nordic regions. Your videos are interesting. From an American who has never been out of his own country ever in 54 years.

Very nice Greenland❤

[@willieexplore]

Oh yes :)

[@prasannachitnis892]

Thanx a lot Willie for Greenlandic vdos, so far-off its from India also.

[@willieexplore]

Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it!

[@potentialreality]

Greenlandic music? I'll have to search for that and have a listen. I hadn't thought of visiting Greenland. You have me interested. I did some reading in my new interest. I see what you meant about no roads outside of town and not to anywhere else on the island. I see that 1/4 of the population are immigrants (I would assume mostly Danish.) Did you hear any of the Kalaallisut Indigenous language? Do you know if it is still spoken by most or all of the indigenous population? Any polar bears to be seen there?

[@willieexplore]

Thanks for watching and supporting my channel! Yes mostly Danish immigrants - that is my understanding too. I'm not sure if I heard any of the Kalaalllisut languages - certainly I've only spoken English with the locals but I might have heard some on the radio perhaps. There were no polar bears in Nuuk and I understand your chances of seeing some in the east of Greenland are better.

[@paulananiassen2461]

The video 🌟🌟🌟

[@willieexplore]

Thank you my friend, appreciate your support!

[@kaspz_]

quick answer is YES

[@willieexplore]

For some yes, others no :)

[@jesuspeer]

Thank you for the good information about Nuuk. I'm planning to travel to Nuuk on 27th of July. Btw, do they have flights to Faroe Islands from Ilulisaat?

[@willieexplore]

Glad you enjoyed the video about Nuuk! It is definitely worth visiting and hope you make good memories on your trip. I don't know about any flights to / from Faroe Islands unfortunately. Safe travels!

[@jesuspeer]

[@jaadarl3902]

So greenland has some few Danish population as well and some even look like mix inuit and Danish

[@willieexplore]

Yes indeed, met some Danish expats at the hotel as well. Many work in the fisheries or services industries.

[@jamesfagan7823]

Are there any single men in Greenland ? I live in Finland.

Think you need to get a Greenlandic dating app :)

Probably not, Everything is so expensive there

I do give my verdict towards the end of the video...I'll just leave it at that! Thanks for watching :)

The red ⛪️’s name is NOT Hans Egede.. 😏

[@willieexplore]

The red and yellow one

[@najaaraqberglund6578]

The hans Egede church is actually the one you’ve passed a lot of times in your videos, right on top of the yellow pup
