Iqaluit...wow.

It was everything I expected, which is a good thing. Perhaps not the dream destination of many of you but an experience that should be had by all. I was only in Iqaluit for a few days, met some great people, got some training for my new job, but I learned a few things:

1. It is ok to wear your snowpants to supper.
2. Snot does not freeze at -34.
3. There are lots of YUMMY men North of 60.
4. For $5 the taxi will take you anywhere in town.
5. The Road to Nowhere, really actually goes no where.
6. Friendships are formed quickly.
7. You have to have a sense of humor about the speed of life.
8. Haggle. (Especially with the carvers)
9. Caribou makes a great steak!
10. Only people who live up North understand why you would want to move there.

Here are some pictures of Iqaluit as taken from the hotel window.
