The U.S border

 Hello again,

Ok so today I went to the border separating Canada and United States. Now I don't know what I was expecting. I guess I was thinking of soldier with guns patrolling the border and shooting anyone that even dare to try to cross. I guess my expectation were a little too high because there was nothing worth noting beside the line of cars going from the Canadian side to the U.S side and vice versa. There are some things worth mentioning, first this monument. Very cool monument, definitely made out of natural things mixed in with man-made things.

There were also a park that has a lake with some ducks. I think there were like 70 of them all just floating. It is also vital to mention that I went to Point Roberts which is a small town with a population of 2000, and they have no school for children fourth grade onward so students must cross the border 4 times a day on a 40 minutes bus ride to go to school or maybe they can just cross the water but there are no port and who goes to school in a boat anyway. Imagine the first day of these kids going to their new school and their teacher asked them to introduce themself and they are like: "Hi, I'm (insert name here) and I'm from over there!" and the whole class just looks over and sees Points Robert.

For better understanding

So yeah, that was the experience of visiting the border for better understanding of how it works but I think I got the wrong place. So that was a solid 9.5/10, a bonus 0.5 for ducks floating on lakes.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure review

Maze Runner: The Death Cure Warning: This is about the book, not the movie. Also grammar mistake Ok, so this book is part of a trilogy but the newest installment ruined that. If you haven’t read the other two books then it might be a little challenging to understand the context. Anyway, after the Scorch Trial taken place somewhere in Mexico, Thomas and all of his friends are captured and held captive. Thomas get the special treatment of 26 days of isolation in a white room. They were going to get their memories back but Thomas decided that he was too good for it and escaped the facility on a "Berg" that matches the description of a Combine Dropship from Half Life 2.  The "Berg" looks something like this but a lot less terrifying and probably looked nothing like that and my comprehension skill is bad.  They escaped to Denver, out of all the places, to get a chip in their brain removed because it can, reportedly, let WICKED control your brain and that's not very g...

The battle of Stalingrad

  The Battle of Stalingrad The Battle of Stalingrad, fought between August 23, 1942, and February 2, 1943, during World War II, is considered one of the most significant battles in history. It pitted the Axis powers, primarily Germany, against the Soviet Union, with the city of Stalingrad as the epicenter of the conflict. This battle and siege of the city was one of the deadliest battle in World War 2 history, over 1 million casualties on the Soviet Union side alone. The siege/battle raged for approximately five months and in those five months, there was a lot of learn on both side. For the German side, they learned the valuable lesson of to not invade the Soviet Union during the Winter, something that the French learned 130 years prior to the battle. But despite the Soviet Union emerging as victorious, was the 1.2 million death worth the trade? Was Stalin's order to hold the city using all forces available necessary to win the battle? And what about the decision of not letting the...

Niagara Falls experience

Image
Hello again, My family on a 7 days trip to Toronto, the city is great, and it is quite cold here. Otherwise, it is very good in Toronto. The food taste ok, and the water is drinkable. Also, the subway system is pretty cool, highly organized and sophisticated system. Though something I would complain about is the amount and of dangerous people on the street. A random guy got pushed into the subway rail as the train was coming in and the guy died. I think the suspect was arrested. All my condolences goes to their family but we must now move on to what happened today. We went to Niagara Falls today and it was a good experience. It was pretty cool seeing the falls from the Canadian side. The falls is very big especially the Horseshoe which is the biggest of all the falls. Before I get into details, I would like to thanks our tour guide, Mr. Kaleb. He has been on this very specific tour for 12 years. He has a very recognizable accent but he use it to his advantage and use it to create laugh...
