Neglected to say, it's not as though Hamilton is the place to be.[1] 23yrold3yrold said: I should find a way to meet the moose; we're not that far anymore.
Funny how perceptions of distance are culturally determined. Although I suppose that on the scale of Canada it really isn't all that far. References

It won't be anytime soon; I have no means to get to Edmonton right now. But it's only like a three hour drive. -- |

I respect Edmonton for being a real Canadian city. It's not like all those other ones that just set up camp as close to USA as possible. |

23yrold3yrold said: It won't be anytime soon; I have no means to get to Edmonton right now. But it's only like a three hour drive. About two and a half actually. Or two if you speed like most people on Highway 2. Also, if you do come up, and have to take the bus, I suggest RedArrow over Greyhound. They use Motor Coaches rather than shitty cramped buses, they have laptop power ports (if you ask when booking), and free beverages (and digestion cookies!). It is a little more expensive. It depends if you think your comfort is important enough Evert said: Funny how perceptions of distance are culturally determined.

The major highway connecting the two cities is pretty much a straight drive through prairie. -- |

I was assuming 23 was in Winnipeg[1], which made it a bit more than 250 Km according to Google Maps. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

I come from a country where driving 250km pretty much gets you across the border into the next country. |

Evert said: So yes, by that metric, it's far. Edmonton is fun that way, its 250KM to the nearest large(ish) city. If you want to get to a border (any border) its more like 500-800km. Edmonton is kind of right in the middle of Alberta, go any direction and it takes a while to get anywhere. -- |
