KICKIN' IT IN SOUTH KOREA by Mike Meier: (not) KICKIN' IT IN KOREA #11: Calgary, Alberta, Canada

(not) KICKIN' IT IN KOREA #11: Calgary, Alberta, Canada

I spoke at a Toastmasters club when I visited Calgary, Alberta, Canada, July 11-19. Just like USA.

Then I stumbled upon some frozen aliens in a park. I pray they don't thaw.



These are two of the most memorable signs I found. Dad, I ate at your restaurant (kind of pricey for your taste). Then, I found a store selling "Pharmacy Souveneirs." What exactly is a pharmacy souveneir? Is that like used bottles of medication from Canadian celebs Celine Dion or Jim Carrey? I was so amused by the sign I forgot to go inside...



The city of Calgary pretty much shuts down for the Calgary Stampede. I never knew so many cowboys lived outside Texas. I got to see barrel racing, bull riding, and kids trying to jump on ponies to ride them.   And I didn't even hear anyone say, "Eh."
