Subject: RE: Ghoulie August Assatar Challenge- Run or elsemndymond - 2010-08-16 10:24 AM Well Bill...there isn't a whole lot more to know about Edmonton...well we have the West Edmonton Mall-The Wonder of it All...but meh. I think they are adding to it now to beat some other mall in China to regain the "biggest mall in the world" title. I don't really find Calgary that much better than Edmonton. Its just bigger and in ranch country rather than farm country. Haha. Van is cool though. Woooo Van! Funny story: a few years ago, I got to go to Edmonton while hubby was working up there for a few weeks. He was already there, I had never been out of the US before. I guess I seemed nervous because I was selected to go get interrogated in customs. "Do you know anyone in Canada?" Nope. "Why are you here?" To shop at the West Edmonton Mall. "Why?" Because it's the biggest mall in the world. At least that's what the internet site said, and hubby just got a big bonus at work, and I neeed a break from the kids. "So why are you here again?". *blank stare, sweaty palms, can't breathe* "And you don't know anyone in Canada?". *breathe, Amy, breathe*. She eventually sent me to get my luggage from the luggage carousel, and called my hubby for verification while I was gone. When I came back she was doing her best not to laugh (but she could barely talk without laughing...so it wasn't very successful... ). "Why didn't you say you're hubby is here in Edmonton waiting for you?". Uh...I thought you meant do I know anyone who lives here, not do I have a ride to the hotel!!! It's pretty funny looking back at it....hubby was very nice and didn't give me much for it. I spent almost a week in the hotel/mall. Yep. Gloriuos Edmonton Mall. LOL. |
