Day 8: Calgary Downtown

after a whirlwind roadtrip up north & east,

its time to be very very very LAZY.

scott cant, cos he needs to prepare

yet another.................

very healthy breakfast. (^_^)~
after much lounging around,
downtown is part of our plan,
i wanna check it out, just to see the universities,
city offices and corporate buildings,
this is as we're approaching it,
we can see the CALGARY TOWER
the city train, its C-TRAIN,
comparatively its worst than Putra or Monorail,
cos it goes in a linear way n doesnt help much,
as it commutes only around downtown
and limited housing area i suppose,
if i decide to pursue my studies here,
scott will have to move closer to a C-train area,
so its much more convenient... :/
thats HUSKY, its a gasoline company,
like BHP.
im not sure abt that Transformer looking thing.
that's Calgary Tower, close up,
it cost like, CN$12-13 to go up there
for a view of the city, since its not a GREAT day,
its cloudy and not clear skies,
we didnt even think abt it.
we abandon it cos the tickets r ridiculous too.
and some sights in town,
i must say, the colors are pretty monotone,
its prbbly more corporate bcos its the centre,
but why dont they have like, green buildings,
like our lot 10, or blue, or even magenta color,
like some that we have in KL ???
i was really excited when i saw this! COLORS!

Calgary Stampede Park,

a summer affair, a tourist affair,

an affair that you dont wanna miss! :)

if you need details, google it.

these area is like the not so rich place?

like a community project to help the less privilege?

i forgot whats the term that scott use

to describe this area, but its something like our,

kerajaan sponsored houses/community.

i took pictures,cos the houses still looks HUGE to me!

and the view from the top of a hill,

like our 'mini genting' in cheras,

this is definitely much more a safer

and nicer looking place, cleaner too,

no bushes, no mosquitoes,

proper benches and railings, lots of space!

and out of nowhere.... er....

feel like snowballing thru the windows!

it started snowing after i send out the postcards,

i can only send like a selective /handful of ppl,

cos i lost all my important address,

and i only have my clients address mostly,

it cost CN$1.60 for an international postcard,

thats equivalent to RM4.80 per card

swish swash swish swash, so nice to see!

but its so dark n cloudy, its scary.

RELIF when we get home,

scott is so used to it, its nothing,

im like "get the camera! picture for me pls!"

we rest for a while, shower,

and head out for dinner with scott's family,

at THE KEG, famous for its steak!

aunty & uncle's picture,

with scott's older brother, Tyler.

and that damn big big beef Alberta's famous for.
