The ironman of travel Yoshimasa Ikeuchi

From Iceland to Greenland

50 minutes by car from Torshavn. Mr. Enomoto (67) (27 years living in the Faroe Islands) complains of abnormal weather in the port town of Best Manda without rain for the past three months. 75% of the income is tax. Hospitals and schools are free, but Enomoto says that those who can work well will seek work overseas after leaving the Island.

Faroe Islands

Greenland is the largest Island in the world. 80% of the area is an ice sheet. South Greenland at 61 degrees north latitude is right next to the Arctic Circle (90% of the land is in the Arctic Circle). I visited the Faroe Islands while visiting the Islands. 250 days of the year is the rainy capital "Torshavn" July 29, 2009 is "St. Olav Day" (peace and ethnic prayer), which is also a holiday on National Day 28 and 29.

Young people drink whiskey with a trumpet and raise a loud voice, and it is dangerous and cannot be photographed. When I can't sleep at night, my traveling companions are confused. Insomnia continues due to the sound of music. By the way, the cabin from Copenhagen to the Faroe Islands is famous for "Flying BAR".　

A (turf) house with grass on the roof. Very cute and colorful townscape. Clouds hang low to the middle of the mountain, and sheep eat grass. The sun comes out when I think that the mountains like the sea of clouds continued. I heard that there was a lot of rain and wind, but the weather was blessed. Visit the intricate Fjord and talk to the villagers.

Prologue

One of my traveling companions received 4 small bottles of wine and 6 glasses of whiskey. That day I remembered that he was messing around with fellow sightseeing all day long. On the 30th day after dawn, he returned to the nature of the original fellow, but his memory was lost for only one day. (Hide your name for honor).

It feels very inconvenient for travelers. The annual festival is held in a solemn history of the people, but after that the "turmoil" continues until early morning. Drunks parade through the town until dawn, and the ambulance sirens never stop ringing.
