To all the wonderful 1.G. Students from Campus Kujalleq,
South in Qaqortoq


​
​
Bright and sunny morning. But still the air is cold.
Makes everyone look like they’re smoking as they breath.
​
A black building surrounded by containers. 
​Down the mountain. 

There’s coffee inside. And newspapers. 
Morning readings and fresh gossips from the night.
