Greenlanders celebrate many events -- a child's first tooth, first step, first six months, first day at school, and confirmation -- with a large kaffemik. What is this? It's a gathering for coffee or tea and cake shared with family, friends and neighbors.
Today, you will visit a private home to experience a kaffemik. Your guide welcomes you to step inside and shares with you an example of beautiful Greenlandic National Dress. Don't miss an enlightening demonstration of how the clothing is made and sewn.
Tea, coffee and cake are served in the Greenlandic spirit -- perfect for those wishing to experience a cultural exchange with indigenous local people.
