War Museum

eeeekkkk ooooo....hehe...me again...nothing much...life goes shorter and shorter...so best way to reminisce about memory...yes MUSEUM!!!...haha...anyway...i'm really on a museum mood this couple of week ever since i knew that museum give free admission every thursday...well actually there only been two exhibit i went...National Art Gallery and War Museum....here in Ottawa....i have already shown something about the art gallery last week...now for the War Museum.... 

I've got to be honest...i'm not a man of war...any war...the good, the bad, the ugly, or even Narnia...which exactly why War Museum was not something i'm looking forward to....but learning stuffs about war here is absolutely amazing and worth the 20 minutes bus ride to get here...plus its free...any knowledge got free is always a good thing....

i want to take the picture of the Museum building but can't...because it was dark and it was big...anyway, the architecture of the building reminds me of a bunker....u know...somewhere where the "important" people runs to when there is nuclear holocaust or something....but still it is in keeping with the mood...and it is a War Museum...what better structure to show than a freaking bunker....

Hitler's very own Benz.....this give me chills....seriously looking at his car give me chills...

National Art Gallery

today....i went out again today....to a freaking museum....HELL YEAH!!!anyway....i grab a slice of cake and a cup of orange pekoe tea (sounds grand right...not at all...just some stupid tea and a slice of cake)...the cake was good....but i have better...so not gonna recommend....and then it was 4.30pm....and i said to myself....i wanna go in the National Art Gallery of Canada...all bcuz i got to see the inside of the Parliament, i just so pumped to go visit the Gallery...i spend a lot of time outside the gallery collecting thoughts in the summer....so in winter we go inside...i wish i have a lot of pictures to show but photography is not allowed inside...plus if i show u everything here...it will give reasons not to go there....so wanna see what i see...go the National Art Gallery of Canada
The Building: National Art Gallery

The Inside of the Parliament Building

finally...i have been to the parliament hill too many times already...to relax, to watch concert, to make snowman...but never once i have the courage to enter that british inspired building...it is free for public tours...a tour guide will bring you around to show you important part of the building n the parliament...the common room, the senate room and the most magnificent library i have ever seen...they will show you...and did i mention, it is FREE...if only i knew sooner...the tour guide will also give you some info on the history n the process involved in parliament...but being an ignorant man towards the government, i choose to just listen the mumbling sounds...and took pictures instead...
