Welcome to Edmonton

by bulletproof - last update: Jun 15, 2004

Welcome!

I was compelled to start this page mainly because I felt that most of the travelogues posted here are very inaccurate!! (in my opinion) The Mall and other attractions around Edmonton are definitely NOT overpriced (as some people have stated in their travelogues for Edmonton) - in fact, everything is very cheap compared to the rest of Canada, especially with no PST (provincial sales tax). And if you're from outside Canada, don't forget to apply for a GST refund when you leave.

Why anyone would want to come visit Edmonton is beyond me, but I guess you're here looking for info! If you have any further questions, feel free to email me and hopefully it won't be fitered out by my spam filters!

A little about me:

I'm a twenty-something year old, born and raised in Edmonton. Also, I'm Chinese (one of the many growing communities in multi-cultural Edmonton). So far I've travelled to: Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Japan, Vancouver, Toronto, Las Vegas, California, Seattle, and passed through many places inbetween.

 Excellent tips and a beginning to your pages... I agree that Edmonton has had a bad rap. It's a nice city - and I love not having to pay PST as well as GST! Add more, please.... and enjoy Hamilton!
