The Flower Craze
The parliament building turns out to be extremely good. Initially I was so worried that the free tour would be boring. Its exclusive to the 4 of us too. Cool. We learnt a lot about the building. It was the first building to have eletricity. The crazy architect actually put 638 bulbs in the legislature room. Indulgence. Haha. What impressed me most is the potrait of queen Mary. It was painted in a one point view. Her eyes follows you wherever you move. Freaky! We were told that the potrait of King George is even better as his knees moves too. But it was taken down for repair. What a waste.
Well thats a brief summary of the very great trip that I had over the week. So thankful for the great companion and experiences. Let's do a betta one for the end of term trip guys!

The Rockin' Good Time
The evening was the highlight of the Edmonton trip. Rascal Flatts concert! Despite the long wait for them to start, I had a freakin' good time there. The seat that I got was pretty close. And the best thing is they keep coming to my side of the stage. Hehe. These guys are really good. I enjoyed most when they performed 'life is a highway' with the legendary Don Henley. Dats really a double bonus man. I need another country concert! Still feelin' so high from the experience. Now who sae u can't get high without a booz.

Visiting a marketplace has never been so exciting before. I really luv the clealiness and vibrance in the Granville Public Market. A must seee here. Fruits and veges looks pretty fresh but expensive. Oh here's a very ........ fruit that we saw. Its called the Tahitian Pink Banana. Haha. So tell me what do u think it looks like? Visited the brewery too. Had a chance to taste their vast varities of beer.

The Marina in Victorian Style
This will be an ideal place to retire to. Not only they have great sceneries. The tea house named Murchie's is pretty cool too. They offer more then 20 types of black tea. However, this makes no different to me as they all taste the same to me. Haha. Added cream to my tea somemore. Faints. Next up is the night scene. As usual, the streets are nice but looks deserted. There were lots of homeless around though. Poor thing.

The Best Weather........Not
Went to this really amazing landmark called the Craighdarrouch Castle. It was very bery nice. Built in the Victorian era. The owner of this place must be damn rich. The number of rooms and antiques in the castle is tremendous. Get to see nice flowers and green grass too. Its all white in Calgary, thus it is such a relieve to see colours in the surroundings. The relieve was not long though as rain came pourin' down in the evening. Screwin' up our night sightseeing.
Saw a pretty talented person drawing this potrait of a lday on the street. Cool. Really in luv with the streets here. Warm and lively. I wanna stay here longer!!!!! Finally, Happy Chinese New Year. Abosolutely no atmosphere here man. Well, I'm in the west anyway.

The Bo-Liao Weekend
My friend has complained that I'm too lazy for not describing a little more about the weekend trip. So here we go. Basically, Banff is a very popular ski town here in Canada. Professionals come here to compete, amatuers come here to learn and poeple like me went there to fall. Haha.
The snowfall here is tremendous. It seems to me that it snows at least 2 days every week. Being part of the Canadian rockies, there are a huge number of mountains and canyons like the states. The one that we went to is called Johnson's Canyon. In the trip we learnt that u can differentiate between a glacier and frozen water as water has is a tinge of blue in the ice structure.
There is one very special thing about this place. The presence of a hot spring in this freakin' cold winter. The temperature of the water is actually 39 degrees in a cold outdoor sub zero temperature. And yes it is a outdoor hot spring! Don't you think it looks like a haunted mansion?
U must bewondering why am I postin' such a long entry. This is becos I'll be away for a whole 10 days from 17 onwards so will not be able to blog. He he. Goin' Vancouver, Victoria and Edmonton! Hyper excited.
