There are plenty of small towns away from the world that aren’t in Greenland 😅. I get the sentiment but Nuuk is total overkill if anon is just looking for a peaceful small town

These kinds of places can look idyllic until it’s 5:30pm on a Friday and the only place to get a drink closed half an hour and the streets are all empty. Then they start to feel pretty boring.

total overkill
One might consider it the nuuklear option

Obligatory
“Nuuk-u-lar”! It’s pronounced “Nuuk-u-lar”!

I think you need to look up Nuuk.
It’s small, but it’s still the capital of Greenland. It has like 6 bars and several are open before 17:30 and well into the night on Fridays.

We went on holiday in Iceland, the place where we slept one night had the nearest gas station 160 km away, the nearest grocery store at more than 300 km. I loved it for a few weeks, but I would not move there.
Better not forget the eggs.

That has been pretty much my life lately here in Ottawa. I’ll take boring any day over busy, overcrowded cities.

overcrowded cities.
They’re making new people at a surprising rate in some of the places most impacted by climate change. You may need to adjust your expectations as resettling the residents of these at-risk places becomes a bigger effort.

Oh shit what? No drunk people roaming around the streets? What a nightmare

A bottle of Jaxk Daniels costs about DKK400 on Greenland. That’s about $60. It’s tax free though.
People do drink less than the average in EU, but despite this, alcoholism and drug abuse are serious issues on Greenland.

City dweller reviewing a small town lol
Peace and quiet is not a minus. Peace and quiet is exactly the point of those places. If I wanted night clubs and people on the streets, I’d live in a city.

Grew up in a small village. Immediately moved to a big city as soon as I could.

It’s funny because I live in a big city because I have to and I constantly complain about it to my friend who wanted to move to this city so much that she just drove here with almost no money and no place to stay. I don’t think she’s very sympathetic.

And as someone who’s done the small town bit I feel much more for her than you. I love cities, I didn’t think I would but once I fell for them I fell hard.
Different people like different places. I can’t live the life I want rurally without a lot of drives to cities. I know people in the boonies who would never move an inch closer to a city. Some folks are born in a place that ain’t right for them.

Actually I speak from experience. I grew up in the countryside and I’ve also lived in huge cities. Places to have a drink after work provide a hub for the community where you can relax and meet people in the area. I’m not talking about nightclubs, I’m talking about anything at all. They’re especially important in cold countries where you aren’t likely to just sit in your garden and talk to the neighbours over the fence.

I live in a small town in northern Europe. I don’t see the problem.
