Halifax, Nova Scotia

I know I may be a little biased in saying this, but how could I write this semester and not mention one of the best places in Canada? Couldn't. So here it is folks, Halifax, Nova Scotia. One of Canada's most idyllic cities due to its unique history, culture, and many, many, many bars. In fact, if thats your thing... Halifax is known as the city with the second most bars per capita, and thats only followed by St. George st. in St. Johns Newfoundland.

There's more to Halifax than the pub scene however. When I first moved here I was so excited about the live music and the beautiful waterfront. Coming from Nova Scotia's neighbour, New Brunswick, I was already accustomed to the beautiful people and maritime spirit but the unique culture of Halifax was all new to me.

You cant go downtown anywhere without getting a friendly greeting, a cheers or hearing some form of celtic tune. Its one of the beautiful things about a city that isn't quite a city but much more than a small town. It makes for the perfect destination vacation or a place to settle down. For me, its merely a transitional residency but I wouldn't rather be anywhere else. Halifax is a beautiful place to be with a beautiful culture, beautiful people and is a beautiful place to see.
