I actually find that one of the best things to do in this city is get involved in intramural sports, like the Calgary Sport and Social Club.

I find thats what keeps me busy in Calgary/Edmonton. Being in this city is usually the outdoors (sports, the mountains) but past that, I think Calgary is just young and immature in its development. For me, I'd love to go live in New York, Rome, Paris, London, Hong Kong, Tokoyo, I just love the life there. The pubs in San Diego on the Glasslamp street have a reputation for a reason, and you area kick hop to Tijuana for other reasons.

I've lived in Alberta for 23 and I'd love to move on if I get the chance. I have to admit, I'm pretty bored. I play alot of sports (soccer, street hockey, squash, wall climbing, ultimate though I suck), go to the mountains a ton (hiking, backpacking, skiing, etc), I try and do the cultural things like taste of <city>, I've actually been a performer at Carifest, Afrika Day, Kiwanis and Sun and Sulsafest, and I usually go to a couple other events. I also really enjoy sailing too, especially in the Lakeland region.

I like the big city life. When I was in Rome last year or Hong Kong a couple months ago, there was an ocean of people everywhere you little, little restraunts packed with good cheap food everywhere, street markets and so on. Tons of life. Calgary's population density is a little low for that to happen.

I'm crossing my fingers to get a job in Buffalo (close to New York), Boise, San Jose and Hillsboro (just outside of Portland) - not lively cities, but hopefully I'll end up in Silicon Valley, and maybe lead my path to Tokoyo or Bangalore for the sake of living international. I know the part of Calgary I will miss is skiing, camping and hiking, and sailing.
