  Edmonton is a big city of almost one million of people in a very very large area. It is a city spread very thin, so that it does not feel too tightly packed. Its most famous attraction is a mall (an arcade of diverse shops) that was largest in the world, and contains thrill-enducing rides that are very fun! One of the cousins of a friend is employed there as a dolphin, whose job is to chronicle the stories of the mall rats, who are not rats at all but are instead humans of age 11-15 who live at the mall. Edmonton is also a centre of world culture, with many many festivals and theatres, and a brand spanking new concert hall entitled the Winspear Centre, which contains the symphony and Alice Cooper.
Edmonton is far north (but hot - not cold! ) and has the northern lights in the sky, which may be projected from the mall. Edmonton is not named after anything I recognize. It has a large river that devides the city into northern and southern hemispheres, each with its own unique history and attractions. According to the internet sources Edmonton is maybe Canada's most important city, containing the seat of government for the wealthiest of its provinces.
And since Canada is voted one of the most important countries in the earth, this is a big thing! As yet, I have however not left Alex's house and back-house yard. This means that I can tell you about his house and yard but not about Edmonton, or about what Alex does when he vacates the house in his bicycle or car. I must soon find a way to follow him or I will lose my job. Next time though I will tell you about this very very pleasant and spacious house.
