An Autumn Morning At Montmorency Falls


One of the main reasons why I wanted to check out Quebec City is that I wanted to see the Montmorency Falls, which is the towering waterfall just outside the city. After an uneventful bus ride, I entered the park with the ticket I bought online. The Montmorency Falls is just a part of the overall park which loops around the waterfall. There are several activities at this park including ziplining across the waterfall, and a cable car between the top and bottom of the park itself.

The Views from Quebec City's Tallest Building


I went to L'Observatoire de la Capitale atop the Marie-Guyart building, which is the tallest building in Quebec City. This attraction offers a 360-degree view of the city and beyond, and I thought it would be worth checking out for an affordable $15 admission ticket (that you can only buy online). I went on a rainy and cloudy afternoon so I could not see far beyond the thickness of the clouds, but regardless, I would be seeing some spectacular views.

A Rainy Morning At La Citadelle de Québec


On one of the mornings while I was staying in Quebec City, I went for a tour of La Citadelle, which is a fortress that is sitting on the highest point of the city at Cap Diamant. I want to point out that this was not the first Citadel-style structure in Canada that I went to, as I also went to the Halifax Citadel last year. I was able to freely explore the Halifax Citadel at my own pace, but I would not have this luxury at La Citadelle, as La Citadelle de Quebec is still an active military base. I had to go on a guided tour of the fortress, which was fine with me.

Quick Thoughts: Canada vs. Ecuador

I went to the international friendly between Canada and Ecuador at BMO Field last Thursday, which ended in a 0-0 draw where Canada played down a man since the 6th minute of the match. If you are looking for tactical analysis, look elsewhere, as I will talk about my observations with the stadium, the crowd, and the general atmosphere and vibe of the match in general.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Is Terrible Value

I have been playing through Pokémon Legends: Z-A on the Nintendo Switch 2, and I want to tell you my thoughts on the game. Prior to obtaining this game, I think I have heard every kind of extreme opinion where I have heard unnecessary praise, as well as unnecessary hatred of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. The truth is, Pokémon Legends: Z-A falls somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. I have already talked at length about Game Freak's (lack of) role in the development of this game, so I am just going to focus on what I liked and did not like about the game.
