Nuuk Local Customs

Boozing seems to be the main local custom. Walking from the waterfront on a TUESDAY morning to the main shopping area, I went past numerous houses where there were about a dozen people outside each of them all boozing. Returning in the afternoon, the same people were outside the same houses STILL AT IT! ...People also sat on benches & sat on the ground boozing and they swigged beer/lager from bottles as they walk down the street.
Most of the boozers were Inuit (the majority of Nuuk's population), but the Danish minority could also be seen partaking.

Nuuk is a very photogenic place on the dry, sunny July day I visited. I was a bit wary of taking pictures in areas where there were groups of people boozing together, but, despite this uncouth habit, the Inuit and other locals seem peaceful and non-aggressive. There was none of the squaring up to tourists with a "What are you doing in our area?" attitude that you'd get from gangs of people in Britain, America, West Indies, etc..
