I was
about 5 when I first heard the word "Greenland", and my interest grew
from there. Finally, after decades, I decided to go.
When
I finally arrived, the place, at first glance, was clearly misnamed: The east
coast of Greenland was an expanse (宽阔的区域) of ice and snow, with no sign of
human habitation.
One
of my purposes of going to Greenland was to make contact with some native
Greenlanders. I didn't know I would achieve this, but success came in an
unexpected way.
When
I arrived at the Illunnguujuk Hostel, where I had reserved a bed, a young
couple and their baby were out front, enjoying the sun and unusual warmth.
Greenlanders speak their own Inuit language and learn Danish in school, and
many also speak English well. The young woman, however, was not one of these.
Her English turned out to be anticlimactic.
When
I identified myself, her eyes widened. Another traveler had arrived earlier
and, mistaking him for me, they had given him my bed. There was no more space
in the hostel. "But don't worry," she said, as she threw herself into
cleaning a tiny house the family owned. "This is for you," she said.
And as if that weren't enough, she invited me to eat supper with her family.
That evening I sat down to a dinner of fresh fish with a loving, happy native
family.
When
I first set foot in Greenland I found myself all but shocked by the emptiness,
the vastness, and the silence. I had decided that I would probably never
return. And then I was taken into this Greenlandic home. I can now say that
even cold, empty, and silent scenery is worth visiting, so long as one has a
warm and welcoming place to go to.
