Canada

A view of the Canadian parliament building in Ottawa, Canada

I'd liked to recommend Ottawa to visit for your trip.

I loved Quebec province but they speak French so they have only French signboards so I couldn't read it but also felt uncomfortable with the traffic signals. My husband and I were happy to enter Ontario. Every signboard are in English and everything is same as my living place.

Above all I didn't get used their driving style. Actually, drivers in Quebec are very tough and they seldom yield to other drivers.

In Ottawa, my husband felt comfortable to drive. Drivers yield easily to other drivers.

Next, there is Parliament Hill. Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. Parliament Hill is the centre of our government. Beside it you can watch the light show. It was very great. The show is very beautiful and touching. The lights are LED so they said the light is led and it takes low hydro power. But the great show deserve to be showed even though high hydro power. It was very touching. I was very envy native Canadian.

It is very smart way to encourage to love their own country and teach history to everyone. I'll apply Canada citizenship in this year.

Lastly, there are various museums to know history. When I visited the Ottawa museum of history, the exhibition of Napoleon was opened. I could see the Napoleon's occupation processing include his used own thing. I don't remember everything but my kids felt the history closely and I was curious if Russia has warm weather, whether Napoleon occupied the whole world.

If you visit Ottawa, you can get great various experience in Ottawa.
