A tale of 3 cities in Canada-Quebec (Part 2: NIght fall)

Ambiguity, trepidation and more often than not, a sudden impulse for great expectations are some of the feelings that stirred my soul when I gaze into a particularly beautiful night sky. Quebec city magnified these feelings by ten folds, giving testament to the beauty exuded by its night sky. Taking a stroll along the lively but strangely quiet streets in Quebec city, I was instantly held in trance by the endless streams of Christmas lightings that decorated virtually every corner of the city. Intricate, yet intimate in its arrangement, the Christmas lightings alone, was suffice to herald the impending arrival of Christmas.






The pictures do no justice to the beauty of that night, it merely unveiled a minuscule portion of the city's charm. Despite taking a stroll in sub-zero temperature, the risk of suffering from frost bite was absolutely worth its taking.

This has got to be my favourite picture taken in Quebec city: a theatre impeccably lit by Christmas lightings.


Like any Singaporean, we were always fascinated by fancy looking cars. There is hardly any chance where you can find cars like this in a carpark or on the road back home in Singapore.



Thanks to an ever perceptive Allan, we got to skate in this public rink for free, when we borrowed skating shoes from the hostel we were living at. Although I had once skated in an indoor rink back in Singapore, outdoor skating is a completely different experience. Coupled with a night sky that was filled with countless number of stars, the feeling was truly magical and unforgettable. I can promise that any dating couple who happened to be skating in that very rink that night will without a doubt, be utterly enchanted by the romatic ambience of that place.

I was struggling with an immense reluctance to head back to our hostel when we had our fill of skating. But alas, the bitter weather and immense weariness ultimately got the better of me. The feeling that night was hard to describe, it is probably comparable to watching a stirring performance during a musical and utter satisfaction brought about by an orchestra. Thus, should I ever steal a glance at the night sky from henceforth, it will not fail to remind me of this magical evening I have spent in Quebec city.
