Hi All,
Well while I am rounding up the vacation report, here is a Duploworld update to keep you reading:)
Greenlandic Bananas
Well actually they have not been grown in Greenland, but this is how banas usually look when they arrive in the shops in Nuuk. Not very tempting I would say, but then again, by the time they reach the smaller settlements and villages they have changed colour... to Brown:yuck:
A colleague that grew up in one of the smaller settlements actually told me that as a child when he arrived in Nuuk, he would not eat a yellow banana as that was not how they were supposed to look (they used to be brown:yuck:)
Ohh well, not sure it is funny to read, but I find it a kind of fun...
First signs of spring?
Icicles has started to appear and the snow are slowly melting away, but then again there is a fair amount of snow that needs to be melted by the sun and the slopes are still open, but these icicles are a definite sign that spring are slowly returning to Greenland.
Thanks for reading this short update and do take care:)

Or both?
It just occurred to me that one or both should be a fact. An I right?

Here in Brazil there many kinds of bananas, but the most taste are in North, where I live!
They are yellow and big! Some sweet and yummmy!!!
In my father's yard there are lots of banana trees. And at the last time he told me, there were 5 kinds of bananas.
My father is very proud of his yard. There are many fruit trees there!

Well I do not know about the latter, but the former is definitely true.
A cucumber can easily cost you anywhere between 25 and 40 DKK.
and it is rarely a nice crisp one.
Thank you Richard,
I hear you:yuck:
So do I bea, at least when I am in regions where they are allowed to actually stay on the trees until they are ready to eat, makes for a very different and much better taste.
