Next time I am going somewhere awesome.

Dudes! I totally forgot to tell the internet that I am going on vacation tomorrow!!

Sadly, my vacation destination is Edmonton, so. Not very exciting. For people not familiar with Edmonton (IE MOST PEOPLE) it is kind of like Detroit, or Leeds. Totally boring, but with the SECOND-HIGHEST MURDER RATE IN CANADA \o/ People here call it Stabmonton. So-called because of all the stabbings! Less catchy than the much older nickname of Deadmonton, which actually refers to how socially dead it is and not how likely you are to die there (for the record, 132% more likely than the national average!!).

OH! But it does have the largest mall in North America!! It used to be the largest in the world but then we got upstaged by China. THANKS CHINA. Here's a picture of the giant waterpark. It also has an amusement park, skating rink, pirate ship, driving range, tank full of dolphins, firing range, and a fire-breathing dragon. You think I'm joking about that last one.

So that is my vacation. According to my brother it is already cold there. Thanks Canada, way to do summer up right!!
