Canada Day

Come 1st July is Canada Day. Celebrated much like our Merdeka Day with pomp and pride. But we only knew last minute that the Citadel Hill opens for free during the day on this important date.

Anyhow we did not miss the fireworks display at 10.00 pm. Unlike last year, we decided to perch ontop of the hill. And to our surprise is less crowded than the waterfront. Next year, we’d probably try viewing it from the bridge.

Here’s a pic of the Citadel Clock tower at night just before the fireworks.

Vids Of Fireworks Taken On Canada Day

A few days ago I said that I'm going to upload some photos and vids of the fireworks taken during the recent Canada Day. Unfortunately, all the photos are pretty bad so I'm sticking to just putting video here.




However the photos of Spring Garden Rd. which we took as we were walking towards the Harbour was pretty alright.

Canada Day

Ok we went to watch the fireworks on Canada Day. Pretty interesting as it was at the Halifax Waterfront Harbor.

The last time I said that I have some photos. Well I haven't downloaded them from my camera yet but anyhow here's a better pic I borrowed from a local daily, Metronews. I'll post up mine later. Of course you can't compare this one with mine.


What is Canada Day? Well Canada Day is the equivalent to that of Mederka Day back home. But the differences I have seen is that people here feels more patriotic about it (and I not just referring to the ang-mohs or the blacks, but also to the once immigrant like the Chinese, Indian, Korean, etc etc who are now Canadians). Alot of them have a sense of pride and find Canada one of the BEST place to live in the world. Hmmm.... not too sure about that yet.
