One thing that’s in my bucket list is: sleep in the Ice Hotel. I’ve been to two Ice Hotels already: one was in Montreal in 2013 and the other was in Quebec last weekend. I can’t afford to stay in there yet. As a poor backpacker and a solo traveler,

Watch: Montmorency Falls is frozen
Montmorency Falls is frozen. Yes, there’s another Canadian falls that’s equally gorgeous as Niagara Falls when frozen. Go to Quebec City and find it out yourself and you’ll be amazed at its sheer magnificence and beauty that you’d be telling all over and over again to your friends. And the
The Frozen Beauty of Montmorency Falls
The frozen beauty of Montmorency Falls in Quebec City will never fail to delight your naked eye. In winter, when the city is literally enveloped in inches of snow and in sub zero Celsius, Montmorency Falls, which is higher than the world-famous Niagara Falls, shows its beauty that you would
Quebec Winter Carnaval Parade
A parade in freezing temperature? And at night? That’s even colder! Oui! Only in Quebec City, the self-proclaimed “Winter Capital of the World.” And guess what? People really went out, watched the parade and braved the biting wind and freezing cold. Since I was staying at HI Quebec – Auberge
Ice Castle and Ice Sculptures
Last weekend, I went to Quebec City for the last weekend of its annual Winter Carnaval. I’m glad I did–despite the freezing winter that almost made my cheeks as hard as a stone. I’ve never experienced such coldness before and I don’t think I’d be going back to Quebec City

Zombie Walk Toronto 2014 Photos – Part 1
Both the living and the dead came to join the Zombie Walk Toronto 2014 Parade that started at Nathan Phillips Square in the city’s downtown. As usual, bloody and decaying zombies woke up to terrorize the shit out of the living parade watchers. Even the commuters sitting within the comfort of
Fall Colours in Crothers Woods
The fall colors in Crothers Woods in Toronto didn’t disappoint me. When the sun showed up after lunchtime today, a friend and I went for a hike for two hours there. Well, not exactly two hours of hiking; 45 minutes of that were spent in camwhoring. We were worried the
Fall Colours in Mono Cliffs
It’s that time of the year again when you fall in love with Canada—especially when you’re in close encounter with the fall colours in Mono Cliffs. There are many places in Ontario where you can drive by, hike or walk to admire fall foliage. Last weekend, a friend brought me
Nuit Blanche Toronto 2014-Walk Among The Worlds
Here are some of the photos of Nuit Blanche Toronto 2014-Walk Among The Worlds installation. We didn’t really explore so many art installations last night, except the ones along Spadina Road and nearby streets/alleys. We started at almost midnight and was back home around 5:30 in the morning. Going inside
The World’s Smallest Island Has Only One Residence
This is, perhaps, the world’s smallest island that only one residence can fit on it. This island is found at The Thousand Islands in Ganonoque, Kingston, Ontario. As you can see, the house is really surrounded by water and there’s not even a backyard enough for playing with your kids. The
My first Kayak Experience
Last weekend, I had my first kayak experience at Kelso Lake for an hour. I paddled across the lake in a single kayak (see more here: https://www.globosurfer.com/best-sit-top-kayaks/) and boy, it was easier than I thought! But, I must admit, I bumped my kayak into tree branches on the shore because
Photos: Scotiabank Caribbean Festival 2014 Caribana Toronto
It’s a festival called with two names: Caribana Festival (the old one) and Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival (the new one). For most people, the former is better-sounding than the latter that bears its sponsor’s name. Caribana, aka Scotiabank Caribbean Festival 2014 is no different from the past: disorganized. The first time
World Pride Dyke March
Yesterday’s World Pride Dyke March turned out to be the most participated Dyke March in my 4 years of covering it. It’s louder this year and the march route is longer (I think). I’ve never seen so many lesbians in my life before and this year is record-breaking. And as
Canada Has The Gayest Currency In The World
I was counting my cash two hours ago and realized that Canada’s new bill currencies made of polymer are so gay. Like, they glow rainbow in the dark. They’re light but durable and so faaaabulous! Oh yeah, Canada has the gayest money in the world! Though it lacks two more
St. Patrick’s Parade in Toronto
It’s my first time to watch St. Patrick’s Parade in Toronto, after living here for almost four years. Last year, I saw a tiny bit of it while I was on a streetcar on my way to volunteer. My knowledge of Ireland is solely limited to the two Irish couchsurfers
