Five things I love about Nunavut, in no particular order

1) The fact that there is only prefix for phone numbers in this town, so when someone asks for your number, saying only the last 4 numbers is sufficient, much like how you would give out your work extension. ie. "Hey Allison, what's your phone number?" "it's 8451" and they know what you're talking about. 2) There is only one radio station here. And you can hear the phone ringing while the DJ is talking. And then you hear dead air as he goes to answer it. 3) Also to do with the radio station. The DJ will stop a song in the middle of it, and announce for someone to call their mother and then resume the song. 4) Seeing entire families piled on one Ski -Doo zipping around town like it is a mini-van. 5) Because there are no street names here and no one has an actual address, when they invite you over, they describe their house "So come by and visit any time, Allison, we are the 5 house from the top right edge of town, on the left. The grey one, with the red curtains"
