Denmark owns Greenland, hence the European comparison.


Yeah, it;s the last colony. Greenland has 55,000 people of whom 8,000
are Danes, including most of the high school teachers and 75 out of
its 85 doctors. Danish kroner is the legal currency.

But it's technically in North America.

The U.S. Army splits the different. The west coast of Greenland is in
NORTHCOM. The east coast is in EURCOM (whatever the name).

If you ever get a chance to go to Greenland, grab it. It's a fabulous
country. Going on an expense account would be even better: a beer is
six bucks. Not only is the bottle imported from Denmark, but it is
sent back to Denmark for recycling.

Diesel however is as cheap as in the U.S.--the Danes subsidise it or
anyhow don't tax it in order to encourage Greenlandic fisheries etc.
Dunno about gasoline. There are effectively no roads, hence no gas
stations. You can buy it at the airport though.


-- all the best, Dan Ford
