We got a Wii Fit you guys holy shit

It's pretty fun and cool, actually. Supposedly it will help my flexibility. I hope so because - as I've discovered while trying to learn kick at Kung Fu - I really have no useful flexibility at all.

It's funny, though, I've been actively looking for a Wii Fit for months. Several months. And I keep just missing them.

Jenn goes to Shopper's Drug Mart practically on a whim today and stumbles on one.

Go figure.

Thanks for the reply and info!
Will check both options! By the way, I`ve heard that Alberta is the only territory in Canada that has no taxes, so if I have a choice to buy lenses in Toronto or in Edmonton, I`d better do it in Edmonton in order to save couple of dollars? Right?

I am coming to Edmonton to see the University of Alberta, I applied there for MBA program, and want to see the University and the city before I sign in =)
Can you say something about the University in general and MBA in particular?
If you were me, do you think you`d move to Edmonton for 2 years at least?
I understand you don`t know me, but I`d appreciate your thoughts and opinion!
Thanks!

We do have a federal sales tax of 5%, but no provincial tax like other provinces, so yes, you'll probably save money over Toronto.

The U of A is an excellent university by everything I've been told, but I've never gone there myself.

I was born and raised here so I might be a bit biased, but I would say Edmonton itself is a pretty nice city and worth moving to and living in at least for a couple of years.

Be sure to check out the river valley a bit (it's much prettier in the summer, though). Whyte Ave is a great little entertainment and shopping area near the U of A. Of course we have West Edmonton Mall which is pretty neat to see and shop at. And since your from Moscow, I doubt our weather will scare you as much as it does others. ;)

There's some pretty neat stuff to see and do here, as well as to photograph.
