2013/07/29: Winnipeg

Winnipeg, the capital and largest city of Mannitoba, was founded at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers.

I arrived by train yesterday morning. The train station was built by the architects who also built New York's Grand Central Station.

As the Museum of Human Rights won't be opened before 2014, ...

... I had to visit the Railway Museum.

The city's skyscrapers...

...are connected by an interesting system of skywalks.

To bring urban atmosphere to a city, it's not enough to paint a streetcar, you have to build one!

One of the ugliest buildings of the city is the hostel I'm sitting in.

But I'm going to leave hostel and city now to take a 45-hour-train-ride to Churchill at the Hudson Bay. I'll be back in the civilised world next saturday :)
