What do you think of when you consider Nova Scotia? This is what i knew before i moved there.........it was far away from home!
The thing about Canada is general is that it is a bit of a sleeping giant. the country is huge, and i think most Canadians don't know how big it really is, but on the East coast you will find Canada's Ocean Playground, Nova Scotia.
The capital of NS is Halifax, the city i lived in for 5 years. Halifax is the main hub of the province, it has the main international airport, the atlantic ocean sweeping into the amazing harbour, and a downtown area that is vibrant, funky and caters to all ages.
The province itself though simply follows suit. It has so much going for it, and it is all done in the Nova Scotian way. Relaxed, manored and with a good sense of honour. You won't go there for a long day of shopping. There are a few malls scattered around, but nothing to write home about. The people; however, are the main attraction. Nova Scotian's will stop their car on a highway if it means somebody wants to cross the road. They are that friendly. And that vibe projects throughout. Whether in a restaurant, in the street, or walking by the ocean, people stop, talk, ask questions, and do it in a very polite, trusting way. You become absorbed in the culture and don't want to leave.
I could go on forever, but decided to leave it simple for now. Feel free to ask me any other questions though!
