[Greenland Ilulissat #4] Taste seal meat at the family BBQ party and I got the greenlandic family!

You may be richer than me,
but you will never be free like me

Hello.
I'm traveler @rbaggo
who is finding 'Humanism' in
'Capitalism'

Today, I will introduce 'Family BBQ', during Greenland's National Day event. The event was held in the mountain. When I first saw it, I thought a fire broke out.

---

They use stones to block the wind, to make a furnace.

---

Bring the grass from the surrounding area and use it as a flint to make a fire. It's important to blow your breath to provide oxygen.

---

I was watching it because it was a strange sight to me. The locals must have felt my gaze, so they gave me the seal meat to try.

---

Cute-headed seal...

---

To describe the taste, it's kind of a bit stiff beef, but it smells fishy and tastes bloody, so they season it a lot. It felt just like eating whale meat in Iceland. It's not a terrible taste.

---

They also gave me a Greenlandic cake for dessert. After that, I went around to taste the food.

---

And then I found these kids. When they saw me, foreigner, they hide in the sleeping bag that they were covering. So I played with them!

---

Then, I was invited to a meal prepared with bread and sausages from their families. They said the menu doesn't have to be Greenland-style. I will continue to meet this family in Nuuk, capital city of Greenland, after that.

---

After that, we all came to the playground to watch the football game. By the way, one team was so overwhelmingly good that it was a bit of a trivial game.

---

The family bought me an ice cream. It's a delicious bear ice cream that costs 2.5 USD each. I don't remember what the yellow one was in the middle, but I think it was bubble gum.

---

When I came home from the tour, my house was a public swimming pool. As I expected, locals seem to enjoy swimming here.

---

I hated this place, which is the home of mosquitoes, so I decided to move closer to the mart. It's been hard going up and down the mountain every time.

---

Originally, I was not supposed to camp near a private property, but there was the place near to culture center with a shower room and the mart 'Pilssifik' store, I refill the water to drink and recharge electronic devices. So I only stayed for a few days like this.
