A Tale of Two cities

It's been about 3 months since I came to Canada and more specifically to the province of Alberta. Well the notion that the place has surpassed even my wildest imaginations is true to many extents. Well it feels great to come to North America from the rumble and hustle of Asia to a new culture and newer surrounding. A funny place where during summer one sees daylight till 9pm in the evening and one has to set his clock back an hour during winters. A place where spoilt by natural beauty incessantly is factual in the era of global warming and diminishing nature. Particularly it is the tale of two cities that is Edmonton and Calgary and the influence it has me on me is what I would banter about this time. (P.S: Needed a break from poem writing and I would love to offer variety as always)

It looks like an old town on the verge of being abandoned but the reselient spirit of this city that has given North America a lot, is commendable. The cultural city of Canada, the home of the Oilers football team...many.

Calgary

The economic hub of Alberta...the centre of its oil riches. Nothing can stop this city or its growth. Simply awesome!

Well that's it for this time around.
