Today was the first day at school; the ship delayed its departure so we could see the ceremony welcoming each student to school. One by one they called each student's name and they came up with their family to shake the teachers' hands and receive a flag of Greenland. The tradition is to throw coins and candy as each kid comes up front so there was a mad scene as lots of children ran through the crowd to gather their bounty. Many were traditionally dressed and beaming for the camera.
