So much had been said in Ilullisat about Nuuk. And yes it doesn't have the same colorful beauty. But on a sunny day with snowy white peaks the city definite has a charm. The old social housing does look like a plan economic nightmare, but that is just part of the city and although ugly it has a certain charm discovering the clash between modern city life and traditional hunter culture like reindeer antlers placed proudly and prominently on the rail of the housing balcony. I've found the greenlanders enjoy ornamate decorations in their houses and in the city room also. Many a place has a sculpture or a small memorial. It's both charming and decorative.
