One of my pet peeves here in Canada is the way they do shopping centers now. Each store has it's own building (they want to own their own building, I get that). You drive from store to store as these areas are not made pedestrian friendly or in a way to encourage walking. I think this is ridiculous. Especially in Canada where it's cold most of the time. If they don't want to be in a shopping mall then at least build the buildings so that you can hit them all by parking only once. A sheltered walkway would be nice when you walk from store to store in the winter. So instead of building the stores here and there and everywhere, how about building them in a circle or in a row at least, right next to each other, with those walkways in between. These places are new yet the traffic problems in these areas are already ridiculous. Planners here need to go to places like Europe and elsewhere where they encourage public transportation, walking & cycling. Everything over here is made to cater the drivers. Silly. Very near sighted. We need to lessen and lessen our reliance in cars, not encourage it. No wonder people are gaining weight too. Who needs to walk anymore. Now we have drive-through banks too! I must admit I actually like those as it's easy to deposit your cheques. You don't have to get out when you have a little one with you. But city planning here (or I should say the lack of it) drives me bananas. Jay should have stayed as an urban planner. :) There, my two cents on that topic. :D

Ruska on taalla kauneimmillaan. Voi etta puut on upeita! Ihanat varit joka puolella. Ja guess what? Meilla on ollut +27-28C ilmat! Koko viikoksi luvattu lamminta. Aivan alyn upeeta. Rusketuttiin Siennan kanssa toissa paivana leikkarilla. On meilla taalla Albertassa usein upeat ilmat kun ei sadakaan kovin paljoa. Se oli minun ensi vaikutelma Edmontonista kun tulin. Jotain plussaa pitaa olla kun en saa asua meren lahella. :)

Nama kuvat otin nopeasti auton ikkunasta (Sienna oli vasy ja piti kiirehtia kotiin muuten olisin pysahtynyt kavelylle, rehellisesti :D). Taalla tehdaan usein tallaisia manmade lakes ja niilla joilla on eniten rahaa voivat ostaa talon jarven vieresta. :) Klikatkaa ihmeessa nama ruska kuvat. Minun pitaisi muuten menna uusille asuinalueille ottamaan kuvia niin nakisitte millaista taalla on. Sitten voisin kertoa yhdesta toisesta pet peevestani: miten talot rakennetaan vieri viereen. Kuten meidan talokin, voisin lisata. Tama trendi on ollut jo jonkin aikaa siis. No, taisin kertoa siita jo. :) Rikkailla tietysti varaa ostaa isot, isot tontit. Pitaisi myos ottaa kuvia miten alyn isoja jotkut talot on taalla. Kuka niin paljon tilaa tarvii. Sellaiset joilla kay siivooja siivoamassa. :)
