Halifax Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Hello everyone! Zoals jullie allemaal denk ik wel weten ga ik op 1 Januari naar Halifax in Canada, omdat ik voor mijn studie een semester in het buitenland moet studeren. In Canada begint het semester eerder, namelijk 5 Januari, maar het eindigt ook eerder. Ik ga studeren aan Saint Mary's University (www.smu.ca) en ik heb daar een gedeelde kamer op de campus. Ik kan op 3 Januari in de campus, dus de eerste 2 nachten zal ik in een hostel verblijven. Van 7 tot 24 april heb ik tentamens die ik allemaal hoop te halen en dan heb ik nog ongeveer [View Full Entry]

Jo, seit einer Woche bin ich nun in Halifax, arbeite ein bisschen...und hab schon das Gefuehl dass es mich wieder ins Abenteur zieht. Ich wohne grad bei Salvation Army, werde kostenlos durchgefuettert und habe total nette Leute um mich herum. Ausserdem hab ich die Leute von der Farm in Cape Breton wiedergetroffen und hab auch da schon 2 Naechte gepennt. Echt nett. Heut Abend kommt das Olympische Feuer nach Halifax und wird hier mit ner grossen Show empfangen, aber trotzdem zieht es mich schon weiter! Plane grad mit Jonas und Martin - den beiden Deutschen die ich in Vancouver kennengelernt hab [View Full Entry]

Day 123 North America » Canada » Nova Scotia » Halifax
We got on the road at a good time and headed for Halifax. When we arrive we picked up Megan from her college and she took us on the grand tour of Halifax! We went to the harbour and then sat in a coffee shop before heading to Megan's brothers place where we had dinner. Megan has learn't to cook and made muscles, we couldn't believe that she could do that as the last cooking experience that i had with Megan almost ended up with a house fire! [View Full Entry]

Day 124 North America » Canada » Nova Scotia » Halifax
We dropped off Megan at school and headed around the city again. It was very different to what we had pictured. Halifax is a pretty industrial place with oil refineries and power stations lining the waterfront. In the evening we headed out for chicken wings and drinks with some old Hilltop people and Megan's brother, good times. [View Full Entry]

Halifax NS North America » Canada » Nova Scotia » Halifax
Halifax Nova Scotia Wednesday September 9th. It is 3:30PM and we just sailed into the Halifax harbour. It’s a little weird to be in a big city again. We have been living like trailer park gypsies for the past 3 months and find it a little overwhelming (and exciting) to be in the “Big Town” again. We entered Halifax without problem and docked at the ONLY marina that could accommodate the size of our vessel. When we arrived at the ROYAL Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, we did so in the “Captain Ron” way of doing things, blowing puffs of exhaust smoke [View Full Entry]

We were informed tonight that we are on a “ship,” not a boat and a “voyage,” not a cruise. So all of you will refer to my educational voyage as such from here on out, even though I fully expect it to have many similarities to a party boat/cruise. I am actually here, sitting on my bed, in my room, gently rocking back and forth in the waves (luckily no sea sickness yet) and listening to the sweet rumble of the engines (they are just below my room). Mimi, I am pretty sure you would request a room change! I am [View Full Entry]

Here We Go Again North America » Canada » Nova Scotia » Halifax
So here we are, the night before I leave on my four month journey around the world. Wow, I can't believe it is finally here. Packing went fairly smoothly (not too much fighting with Mom), although some of my small extras had to go to Jeremy's house to be packed by him. More than anything I am interested to see if my bags are under the 50 pound weight limit, normally one of my two when I travel is over by a few pounds. Also, don't forget how much I am going to have to pay to check my luggage; when [View Full Entry]

We arrived at port in Halifax, Nova Scotia, early in the morning. Kristen and I were able to set out on foot as soon as the gang way was ready. The skies were blue and a soothing ocean breeze swept through the city. We docked beside Pier 21, formerly the main immigration hub of this area (a Canadian Ellis Island). We made our way up hilly streets, past an old burying ground and an impressive gothic church, and poked into shops and mingled with locals as we neared Citadel Hill. As a side note, I loved hearing that distinct Canadian accent. [View Full Entry]

Phase II North America » Canada » Nova Scotia » Halifax
Phase II started off with a trip to the Library for "A Teddy Bear Picnic." The kids loved to puppets, books and movie. It was a good way to get them out of the house while their parents packed for their trip. Less tears too! Jeremy has a load of wood chips delivered to their driveway in hopes that we would have time to work on the yard. However, the rain prohibited that somewhat, but the kids enjoyed "making volcano's" even in the rain. Because of the rain we also took a trip to McDonald's sound proof indoor play room. The [View Full Entry]

Phase III North America » Canada » Nova Scotia » Halifax
One Monday we had a boys day an a girls day. The boys went fishing and us girls did some shopping and lunch. Naomi said that her blankie was a girl so it could come too. Tuesday we headed to Grand Lake Baptist Camp in New Brunswick. Brad and Mel spent one night and then headed back to Rochester. Rich spoke on "Living Under Gentile Rule" and "So You Really Want to Follow Jesus." We headed back to Halifax after the Friday evening service so we could fly back home on Saturday. The trip didn't go exactly as planned, but we [View Full Entry]
