What was your trip to Canada like in terms of photographs?
Photos 1 through 10
Photo #1: Entry into Brandon
This is a view when I first entered Brandon. I'm amazed to see a Wal-mart there. I thought that that was just a US store, guess not.
Photo #2: Tallest building I saw
Seeing a building peaking even close to ten floors is so rare, it's not a normal thing I see. This "Canada Inn" building appears to be probably around 12 floors tall. The tallest building in my home town is only 8 floors tall and my home town is much bigger (by area).
Photo #3: The dental office
This is the point of the trip: to go here. It wasn't for me though. I just went inside and waited... for nearly 90 minutes! Interest: 35%
Photo #4: The second destination
Merely for looking around to see if they had something, this building was of substantial size, but rather on the small size. Interest: 70%.
Photo #5: Third destination
This is the third place we went to during the trip. Mirrors blocked much of my access, however, I think this shop really stated the obvious way too many times. Notice the "half price" signs? Inside the store, just in my field of view, I could see another 30 or 40 of these sings. Though they varied slightly, they all said the same thing: "buy one, get the second half price". They used "50% off" and they also used "1/2 off" and even "half off". Interest: 0%.
Photo #6: Between 3rd and 4th destinations
To give you an idea on just how closely spaced the 3rd and fourth destinations were, use this photo to help you with the panorama. Also, I thought that Taco Bell and KFC were US-only businesses as well.
Photo #7: The fourth destination
I've never heard of "Pennington's superstore". This store was, as you can tell from the signs, a clothing store. Interest: 0%.
Photo #8: Garden with an interesting statue
I mainly liked the colors of this area and especially that statue in front of it. We didn't stop here, except to take a photo.
Photo #9: The entire town of Brandon
After getting details on some scenic routes and stuff, I went there and got three photos. This is the best one of the three.
Photo #10: Some Canadian signs
The signs in Canada are different than those in the US. First off, they're all in metrics (meters, kilometers, and km/h). Second off, they have different images. The one with a red slash going through a black octagon is the one I'm most confused on. Either it means "no stopping" or "no stop sign ahead". I'm not sure which. The signs above that I also don't understand. The middle one, I believe, means "crosswalk ahead". The top one I have the least certainty on. My best bet is "no talking to each other while in vehicles".
