VIA Rail's "The Canadian": General Thoughts And Highlights

I wrote my formal review on my train trip from Vancouver to Toronto on VIA Rail’s “The Canadian” back in March, and I have neglected to write about my informal thoughts and highlights about this trip until now. There were several things worth talking about that I did not get to mention in my review. I want to talk about everything from the views, to the senior clientele, and everything in between. I will try to leave no stone unturned on my thoughts of this Trans-Canadian trip of a lifetime.

My Favourite Exclusive Nintendo Switch Games

The Nintendo Switch 2 is now out, and it got me thinking about the Nintendo Switch 1 era of video games. The Nintendo Switch is one of the company's most successful consoles, with many great games in the console's life cycle. I want to list my top ten favourite games exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. I know there are some high-profile games that I have not played yet, including Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Pikmin 4, and Splatoon 3. I still like to think that I have played enough Switch games that I can produce my very own top ten list. First, I want to talk about some honourable mentions:

Vancouver Travels: Grouse Mountain, North Vancouver, And More

Here are some more random pictures of my adventures in Vancouver. These are all the other things I saw in the city that I could not fit in any of my other Vancouver posts.

The Middle Of Nowhere: The Saskatoon Railway Station

The second stop on VIA Rail's "The Canadian" where we got to hop out of the train and stretch our legs was the city of Saskatoon in Saskatchewan. I wish I could tell you that on this brief stop in the Prairies, there was something worth seeing, but this railway station was in the middle of nowhere and nowhere near downtown. Regardless, I captured some pictures that I will share with you

Vancouver Lookout Media Gallery + Gastown Steam Clock

One of the things you can do in Vancouver is to go up to the Vancouver Lookout to get 360-degree views of Vancouver and the surrounding area. I believe admission was around $21 plus tax, which was not too bad. Right off the bat, I forgot to get a picture of the actual Vancouver Lookout tower up close, but you will see it in another upcoming Vancouver post, so here is a generic downtown Vancouver picture.
