Halli Hallo!
Uch the second half of March is now gone pretty fast ...
Well no wonder if one takes a long time ever experienced the fast ...
middle of the month I got from this unique opportunity to make a trip out to Kulusuk, and of course because I did not hesitate and I immediately sent an email to the organizer ... but the answer lies in coming .. . and my hope is getting smaller ... But then everything went quickly here ...
Isabella a dear friend and "old" travel colleague, called am very excited to, they've just found a flight to Iceland, if she can come for two weeks? Of course I was happy to get visitors from Austria, I told her that the same but still this little Fuzerl hope is to fly to Kulusuk and whether they would ride, and in less than 5 minutes they decided and booked their flight! Juhu Isa comes to visit me and so far I still get two seats they accompanied me to Kulusuk !!!!!!
short: Wednesday I can book the trip to Kulusuk, Friday has come Isa, Lisa's dad on Saturday, Sunday we climbed Esja, Monday Blue Lagoon, Reykjavik, Tuesday, we have and Akranes 
Wednesday we visited and took off to Greenland!
Wednesday we visited and took off to Greenland! Reykjavik - Kulusuk: 2 hours flying time, and already the flight to Kulusuk was soooo amazing ...
after only about an hour, we could already see the icebergs below us ...
A small outbreak of swine we suffered when the pilot suddenly the landing dock-although far and no runway was in sight ... but no wonder the 500 meters long and 7 meters wide runway with the left and right of a 5-meter-high snow / ice wall is of course difficult to know ...
in Kulusuk, we got (a very nice English girl, Isa, me and a very, very "weird" s German - He was really very very funny and has completely fulfilled every negative Klische on German ..) our own little red house. Where we had more than enough room, we had a well equipped kitchen, shower and a "Shit-bucked. So all you need.
Now some information:
The population of East Greenland lives
still very much on, in and with nature - are the sea, the ice, the mountains and hunting animals vital for most people.
Just over 100 years since the first Europeans to the inhabited areas of the east coast first reached. The traditional Eskimo culture plays therefore remains a key role in daily life. The spiritual part of the East Greenland culture for centuries through myths and legends handed down. Although Christianity has taken the east coast of Greenland, the original belief is reflected in art and continue in the craft of the local artist again, producing works of stone, bone and tooth. The traditional drum dance is
listed on special occasions even more.
A Tupilak was originally a figure from many different natural materials
and remains of animals, birds and human bones was assembled. The tupilak
symbolize an evil spirit that his receiver would bring bad luck. Today
the tupilaks carved figures that illustrate the magic of the past should. And they are very popular souvenirs.

Kulusuk (in Danish: Kap Dan) is a population of about 33o in Ostgrönlanf village on the island at the entrance of Ammassalik Fjord.
He is also a central place for air travel can be hard to imagine when you think of the airport with us. The runway is said only 500 meters long and consists of sand and volcanic ash ...
The area is known for numerous polar bears which come in the winter on the ice and are hunted by the people, (we have unfortunately seen no living ..) and please now get a false picture: with the polar bears the Eissschollen have meet so far in the South no chance of survival because they do not make it go back to the North and in the spring and summer in the south is too warm for them.
Although Kulusuk is visited annually by thousands of tourists, the village is still remarkably untouched by foreign influence. As in the other settlements in the district

A few insights in a week Kulusuk:
in Kulusuk Easter: The Easter Mass was a fair as it should be! a nice get together of all the villagers in the small church, the children playing, babies were breastfed, the people sang together ... casual ... 
sledding ....
the children as soon as they alone can move it even slides his butt down the snowy and icy Hügerln, and when they "finally" so far, and the land a carriage, Bob, or the like can they really fly down the mountain! As the carriage were in great demand, they were always full.
But it really is a great "sport". I'm excited as the children themselves slipped over the mountains ... to fly incredible experiences, a full moon and northern lights over the ice ... 
dog sled ride ...
unique ... really great!
