These kinds of places can look idyllic until it’s 5:30pm on a Friday and the only place to get a drink closed half an hour and the streets are all empty. Then they start to feel pretty boring.

City dweller reviewing a small town lol

Peace and quiet is not a minus. Peace and quiet is exactly the point of those places. If I wanted night clubs and people on the streets, I'd live in a city.

Grew up in a small village. Immediately moved to a big city as soon as I could.

Actually I speak from experience. I grew up in the countryside and I’ve also lived in huge cities. Places to have a drink after work provide a hub for the community where you can relax and meet people in the area. I’m not talking about nightclubs, I’m talking about anything at all. They’re especially important in cold countries where you aren’t likely to just sit in your garden and talk to the neighbours over the fence.

I live in a small town in northern Europe. I don't see the problem.

There are plenty of small towns away from the world that aren't in Greenland 😅. I get the sentiment but Nuuk is total overkill if anon is just looking for a peaceful small town

total overkill

One might consider it the nuuklear option

Obligatory

"Nuuk-u-lar"! It's pronounced "Nuuk-u-lar"!

We went on holiday in Iceland, the place where we slept one night had the nearest gas station 160 km away, the nearest grocery store at more than 300 km. I loved it for a few weeks, but I would not move there.

Better not forget the eggs.

That has been pretty much my life lately here in Ottawa. I'll take boring any day over busy, overcrowded cities.

Oh shit what? No drunk people roaming around the streets? What a nightmare

A bottle of Jack Daniels costs about DKK400 on Greenland. That's about $60. It's tax free though.

People do drink less than the average in EU, but despite this, alcoholism and drug abuse are serious issues on Greenland.

grew up in a smol place and know this well, it feels like a prison especially if you have no cash to get drunk with
