🇨🇦 Exploring Saskatchewan: Canada's Hidden Gem

When people think of the Prairie Provinces, Calgary and Winnipeg often steal the spotlight. But this time, I ventured into Saskatoon, SK—a quieter, lesser-known corner of Canada—to visit the family of a close friend from back home. ✈️ The Journey Here Flew from Toronto → Calgary → Saskatoon (yes, a bit of a detour!) Population: <300,000 in the entire metro area First impressions: Tranquil, wide-open skies, and yes… a bit dusty! 🏜️ 📍 Highlights of the Trip 🏛️ University of Saskatchewan – Beautiful campus with a mix of historic and modern vibes 🏛️ Western Development Museum – A fascinating dive into prairie history 🎨 Remai Modern Art Gallery – Surprisingly impressive for a smaller city 🍜 Little Asian District – A short but sweet strip with a solid Vietnamese pho spot (comfort food win!) 🌾 Slow Living in the Prairies "Life here moves at its own pace." ✅ Pros: Peaceful, affordable, tight-knit communities ⚠️ Cons: Requires patience—entertainment options are limited "But if you embrace it, the simplicity can be refreshing." 🤔 Curiosity Strikes… Heard there’s a First Nations community up north—would love to learn more!
