By the way, I was just thinking it must be so nice to see so many people/families spending time on the ice. I would feel so odd being the odd man out not really skating for some 20 plus years now! Well unless you call shoe walking skating.. I guess I need to get more Canadianized! lol…

Love the pics! And yes much different than life here in Victoria right now.

@ shionge – It was about – 10C… warm for us, indeed!

@ Seraphine – Love the idea!

@ RennyBA’s Terella – This year was strange, not so much snow. Otherwise you are right, skating is very difficult! You guys are skiiers

@ London Caller- Yeah, basically fried dough with a topping such as Nutella or maple syrup.

@ Yasmine _ I think I went there in 2002 when I first came to Canada. I remember doing the luge as well… I was so cold!

@Agnes – Thank you! Ottawa does have a nice skyline.

@Cynthia – You know, a lot of people can’t skate well, they just have a laugh and give it a try.

@khengsiong – It’s the speed limit for cars along the driveway because during winter, a lot of people cross the street to go to the Rideau Canal. Hence the “warning, skaters!”.

@Adam – Even if you don’t skate, just walking in the ice and enjoying the atmosphere is fun.

@Abi from Inside the Travel Lab – Only in Canada, I guess

@Nigel – Sorry, I don’t dare to skate AND take pictures at the same time!

@Seraphine – Canadians are pretty outdoorsy overall, even if people tend to be lazy in the winter.

@Sidney – Sure, have one then!

@Beth – You are indeed Canadian.

I can’t believe you people can still skate this time of year…
Our outdoor ice rinks closed end of last month.

Re: Stable without horses / 没有马的马房 / Kandang kuda tanpa kuda / 馬がいない馬屋

Do French eat horses? I saw people selling horse meat when I was in Barcelona!!
I wanted to order horse meat at their restaurants but I couldn’t find one that did that dish…
Maybe people all cook it secretly at home?

It’s not that much of it in Norway, often because there is too much snow.

Guess you’re watching the Olympics too – right now Canada and Norway have equal amount of gold medals Looking forward to meet you in curling final tomorrow – what do you think of the Norwegian team’s pants?
