Metro @ Montreal


Copyright © Mind Curry

The most effective and convenient way of travel in all the big cities of Canada. Food for thought for the Indian Government, particularly in Bangalore, who keep debating on the effectiveness of Metro Rail systems.

Swiss Air @ Zurich


Copyright © Mind Curry

Zurich Airport - One of the best airports I have ever seen. The Swiss Air logos were very pretty to see lined up like this. The entire airport is a wireless hotspot, complete with intra terminal
rail network and one of the best duty free shopping experiences. To top it all, there is an exclusive Lindt and Sprungli chocolate store. One reason to fly Swiss Air - Dessert always includes Swiss Chocolate!

King Kong

Before he came to the movie near you,
King Kong first came to Niagara.

Colors of Niagara

Beautiful Niagara is not just about the falls as is the popular
misconception. It is a very colorful and calm place, yet with
plenty of commercial activity. I read on Lonely Planet's Canada
edition that of late, Niagara is also called Viagara, owing to the
huge number of couples, newly weds and others, flocking to
the gorgeous falls for some inspired moments.

Maid of the Mist

You can feel the power of the falls just by listening to the thundering roar
before you even get to see them. Sadly, I didnt get a chance to get
close to the falls as the Maid of the Mist boat service had already closed for
winter (service only until late October every year).

Niagara and The Falls

Welcome to the beautiful Niagara. The falls are not the only attractions
here, but the place itself is beautiful, packed with games, shows, casinos,
restaurants. You could spend a couple of days here at least, especially
if you are winning at the casinos.

The Border

At Niagara, USA is just a stone throw away. Here you can see the
Canadian flag and the US flag across the falls. Apparently, you need
a US visa incase you are a visitor in Canada wanting to take the Maid
of the Mist boat service around the falls towards the US side.
But if you are a visitor in the USA, you dont need a visa to go to
the Canadian side of the falls. This is just verbal information and you
may please confirm with the authorities incase you are travelling.
