Greenland - Nuuk, Naturally

Man, that Cuban station ended up being fantastic, huh? We think it could give that Namibian station a run for it's money as one of our favorites.

OK, we're aching for some cooler weather. Let's continue our journey around the world by heading to Greenland, which is decidedly cooler than Cuba.

With only 57,637 people in the entire country, Greenland the least densely populated country in the world. The city of Asheville is larger! And, Asheville is rinky-dink.

Their parliament, Kalaallit Nunaanni Inatsisartut, only has 31 members. Talk about getting stuff done! This is there parliament. They can all fit in there! We both had classes in high school that required larger rooms!

We never knew, but apparently it's under Danish rule. The US tried to buy Greenland after WWII, but the Danes politely declined. And, thank goodness we didn't get it. Where would we put that 51st star?

Greenland is edging towards independence though. They have been granted domestic self-governance last year. We know what you're thinking and we agree. Last year was 2009 and that's basically the future! Not being free at this day in age is mind boggling. Oh boy did that sound American....

You know what's really cool? They have a 100% literacy rate! When do you EVER hear that?!

So, let's get down to business. Pinky really wanted to stream this station from Hans Island,  since it looks like it's run by his kind of people (whatever THAT means), but they won't stream it to you unless you have a Hans Island ISP. (Ellen's note: This has got to be a hoax. According to Wikipedia, which doesn't lie, there are no inhabitants of Hans Island. And, this guy looks like he's fresh from the funny farm. He also looks like he doesn't know how to use a toothbrush, much less a computer. So, I'm highly skeptical that there even internet there.) Pinky thinks this is pretty awesome. Those guys must be CRAZY. And, trust us, we love the crazy.

Hans Island is waaaaay the fuck up there. Way the fuck.

The only non-news streaming station we could find broadcasting in Greenland that wasn't boosted from Canada or Denmark was this classical station, and even though it's in Danish, it ought to be a nice change of pace, and kind of apropos for how we imagine Greenland to be.

Let's escape the cold and tune in to the capital city of Nuuk, Greenland and chill out - both literally and figuratively.
