Many Faces Of Ottawa Parliament – Mosaika Show: Ottawa, Canada
Parliament is already one of the most popular things to do in Ottawa. In the summer of 2010 the city instituted a brand new light and sound show called Mosaika. Check out my review of Mosaiki here.

Culture Shock Canada Part 2–Arriving in Montreal
The great city of Montreal, it’s about as European as it gets in North America. They speak French, consider themselves French, and fortunately for everyone there are rumors that they are much nicer than the infamous Parisians (sarcasm – but there is truth there).

I was actually day trading while traveling throughout Iceland. They call it the land of fire and ice because it sits right on the convergence of […]
Culture Shock Canada: 6 Things You Won’t In The United States
Milk in a bag Although extremely common in some countries around the world including Argentina and Canada, this would be more than weird in the United States.

DANCING AT CARIBANA IN TORONTO CANADA
The Caribana Caribbean festival is the largest Caribbean festival outside of the Caribbean itself. Caribana Toronto 2010 was no exception with people coming from everywhere (even the United States).
