walker smith: The hotel is situated on a major highway so is easy to find, and close to many fast food places and the PErth Microbrewery. The hotel and room is ”old school” - kind of a throwback to hotels in the 1980's and before. Nothing exciting or fancy, just a bed and shower. Not really close to downtown Perth, but anyone who stays here has a car so it is ok. Just basic and inexpensive.

Perth Museum

A very good museum, worth visiting and listening to the explanation

Royal Ontario Museum

The Royal Ontario Museum's glass spire, like a crystal drill bit stuck into an old building, was rather jarring. Inside, in the Egyptian gallery, a mummy lay sprawled, its shroud torn in several places, the accompanying sign barely legible. Dinosaur skeletons reached the ceiling, and children craned their necks, babbling excitedly. In the Chinese gallery, several Buddha statues were missing arms and legs, their colors faded, which ironically added to their charm compared to those in good condition. When my legs were aching from walking around, I discovered a mineral display case in a corner; the various stones glittered under the lights, and I squatted there for a while, gazing at them. When I came out, the sun was blinding, and the steps were filled with people eating sandwiches.

Casa Loma

Casa Loma Castle, from a distance, looks like a pile of toy blocks, its gray stone walls covered in vines, some windows dark and empty. Inside, the corridors are long and dark, the rows of armored soldiers still seem to carry the smell of rust. The old horse-drawn carriages in the stables have crooked wheels, their shafts covered in dust. The rooftop terrace is too windy to stand on; the city of Toronto stretches out below, a hazy gray expanse. An old man sits on a bench, flipping through a newspaper, the wind rustling the corners of the pages. When I came out, the sky had overcast, and the castle looked even older under the gray clouds.

Art Gallery of Ontario

Online ticketing is convenient; staff simply scan the code for entry, saving you the hassle of foreign currency cash and credit card fees. The museum is fantastic; one day isn't enough to see everything. I caught the Monet exhibition and saw over a dozen original works, as well as Rembrandt pieces, various European sculptures, and exquisite handicrafts.

CN Tower

I specifically set aside half a day for the CN Tower during my trip. The elevator ride was short, and I was quickly ascended to the top. Standing on the observation deck, holding onto the glass, I looked down at Lake Ontario, which resembled a sapphire nestled beside the buildings. The wind blew, casting shadows of clouds across the road. I quietly watched the city breathe for twenty minutes, and suddenly even the distance felt warm. This tower climb became the most peaceful memory of my trip. 🌆
