Things I found out while staying in Halifax:
- Despite drinking more Hortons coffees in 3 days, the chances of winning a GMC Envoy in the Nova Scotian capital are about as slim as anywhere in the country.
- If you look in the direction of Darthmouth, you’re definitely not looking south.
- While it’s generally warmer closer to sea, it always appears to be colder in Halifax.
- You can not get lost in Halifax. Just follow the ‘one way direction’ signs.
- Hotel rooms don’t come with free continental breakfasts.
- In any hotel: Don’t expect a newspaper on your doorstep on check-out day.
- They have pretty good Butter scotch pecan cheesecakes at the Citadel hotel, but if they are homemade, that is a different question.
- Don’t expect free hotspots around the center of Halifax.
- The Halifax Public Library? ? ?! ??
- Scotia Square Mall is quite a sightseeing around noon. That is if you like lots of people.
- I don’t look like a country bumpkin.
No offense, but I thought the mall was kind of depressing. I instantly recognised what Romero tried to depict in his Dawn Of The Dead.
Give me a plain European-style inner-city shopping old-city center anytime.
Welcome back.
No offense, but I thought the mall was kind of depressing.
None taken, the mall is a kind of depressing knowing that that the top floor is most of it empty. There’s nothing to do there either except for getting your lunch and watch others getting their lunch in the food court section.
Yes, I noticed that the upper level was empty. Maybe, most of the people hang out in the university district (rightfully).
The food smelt nice though, but I had mostly dinner downtown.
Scotia Square has always been deperssive bad 1960s design. Best of all a massive part of the downtown’s mid-1800s iron stone core was destroyed for the frigging thing.
