Yes, his English is a little broken. But it is WAY better than my Greenlandic so I’ll think we’ll just stick to my native tongue for our correspondence. I’m very encouraged that he offered some other outlets I can pursue to get my butt to Greenland. (I wonder what kind of shoes I should pack. Uggs make me look fat.) But I also really just want to get some Greenlanders reading ODNT. And I’m thinking I should write him back to clarify.
What do you guys think?
Should I write Hans back?

Hell yes. Keep the ball moving
Yes. Keep on writing! Greenland NEEDS more exposure to ODNT.
Yes, write back but it looks like Hans Egedesvej 29 may be part of the address and Nuuk, the town. The Netherlands has similar addressing hijinks but I wasn’t sure, so I googled it and got a map. I think the author is Uiloq Mathæussen, who seems to be a very pretty young lady based on a google image search & facebook. Interesting fact – your logo shows up, too! Okay, I just outed myself as a prehistoric admin and expat nerd. I guess I feel safe ’cause you already know 😉 BUT, maybe you can get a tourism sister-city thing set up and then go as the sister-ambassador in order to score and all expense paid trip to Nuuk!
Thanks for the research, Beth. I believe you are correct. The writer of my Greenland response email is, in fact, a young woman named Uiloq. Color me stupid. And the poor girl now has more ODNT-related images come up when her name is googled than her own pretty face. Now I HAVE to write back. To apologize for my gaffe. I would hate for my dumbassery to cause an international incident.
Yes, keep writing. This is becoming very exciting, good luck!
I vote HELLS YES!!!!!! And go after the sister cities too. Who knows, you may be writing us from a frozen butt somewhere in Greenland one day. Go ODNT!
I vote HELLS YES!!! Who knows, if you explore the other avenues the person mentioned your lucky frozen bottom may be blogging from Greenland!!! Go ODNT!!!!!!
That is so cool! Yes, keeping writing.
GREENLAND OR BUST! I want you to realizes your projects Michele. 😉
Are they going to address the Greenland – Iceland paradox?
amazing
you’re the best
Just give it a shot, you’ll never know.

Not stupid! Never. It’s the address and language differences!! I mean, how is “Uiloq” pronounced? I make no guesses any more since my friend from Poland told me that her husband’s name is pronounced Chess-waff even though I figured it would be Says-layw. Spelled Czeslaw. Who knew? Not me! Anywho….I hope they want you to be the cultural ambassador to Greenland. It’s a great deal – they get American *and* Louisiana culture, plus you’re *you* and they can’t top THAT!
YOu did not email Greenland! You are so funny! You are a women on a mission! I would continue the pursuit! Greenland is waiting for you:) xo
