Finally I have started my 2-week North American trip. The first stop of my trip is Edmonton, the provincial capital of Alberta.

Introduction of Edmonton to an Edmontonian
Thank you very much for the nice comments of Edmonton. I have lived here for 36 years and still do, I guess I have taken it for granted, now I appreciate this city so much more through your eyes and your wonderful article. Come back soon.

Edmonton
I too have lived in Edmonton nearly all of my life. It's interesting to hear the things that people find interesting. It's unfortunate I hadn't seen this much sooner, I would have recommended a tour of the Muttart Conservatory. 4 glass pyramids in the valley....each has a different theme, and oodles of plants/birds etc. Very beautiful and serene. http://www.edmonton.ca/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_2_261_208_0_43/http%3B/CMSServer/COEWeb/arts+culture+and+attractions/attractions/muttart+conservatory/ Over 700 species of plants.....if you're into that sort of thing.

i can't believe you think -10 celcius is cold

hahahahah, I just moved FROM edmonton. It's an ok city, but I never really thought people visited it! hahaha. I definitely laughed at all the clothes you were wearing at -10. I have to say, that was a bit extreme. no need to layer up at that warm a temp ;o)

Haha. I thought it was funny you need that many layers of clothing for -10 degrees Celcius!! And were still cold?!? I've visited Edmonton twice, and absolutely loved the mall. I stayed overnight at the Fantasy Hotel and still have yet to make it around the entire mall. (Recommendations on the Polonisian Themed room). I hope the rest of your adventures went well!!

You are lucky it was ONLY -10 and not -40 Celsius. :)))) I live in Edmonton. It is an OK city, I love the summer but the winter is very long and COLD!!!! Brrrrr!
