18 Things That Will Confuse The Fvck Out Of Anyone Who’s Not From Halifax

Published March 03 2017

Anyone who's spent time living in Halifax can tell you that there's a unique vibe about the city. We place a huge importance on buying local, pride ourselves on being the kindest people in Canada and have an incredible nightlife scene.

However there are a couple things Halingonians consider very normal which visitors might have a difficult time understanding. Like why did the bus driver just eject me for bringing on a bottle of water and how can this Lebanese pita wrapped in tinfoil and drenched in sauce taste so delicious when I'm six beers deep?
