I had to pick our eldest daughter up from Sheffield last week, and she gave me a guided walk to stretch my legs after the long drive. Houses I can cope with, but the older I get, the less I can do heights. Even just looking up at the modern tall buildings made me dizzy. Help - I am turning into my mother! She had vertigo and couldn't even walk over a road bridge . . .<BR/><BR/>I was SO glad to get back to our hamlet of 5 houses, where cows outnumber the people by a factor of about 80 to one . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562416362853862929.post-81878670415411518512008-03-17T06:10:00.000-07:002008-03-17T06:10:00.000-07:00oh!!

Okay, yeah..a bit of conflict with Aussie versus Canadian terms there LOL<BR/><BR/>A mall here is a building full of stores - like the one just up the street from me...it has a grocery store at one end and a zellers (cheap department store like walmart) on the other, and the long hallway from one to the other is filled with little shops...clothing, jewelry, books, etc....this one just has one floor...I've been to bigger malls in other places that were a couple of stories and had escalators and elevators....so I was picturing this HUGE mall with 21 floors!<BR/><BR/>I get ya now though! :-)molytailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998928076467405984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562416362853862929.post-12889354490681995782008-03-17T03:40:00.000-07:002008-03-17T03:40:00.000-07:00OK, whoa there, Nelly!

It is a closed off section of street with shops all around. The building we were in had 21 floors! Yikes!

The size didn't change. It's a largish town.)... every so often I have to go to Halifax (capital city of Nova Scotia) and I hate it...it's so... gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Noisy and crowded and everybody's in a big rush... and it's filthy. Blech.<BR/><BR/>(I suspect I would love your little island)<BR/><BR/>Hey wait a sec..your MALL has 21 floors??? Wowsers. <BR/><BR/>heh, if you want an elevator that will really make your stomach do flips...<BR/><BR/>http://www.cntower.ca/portal/<BR/><BR/>The elevator in that puppy travels 22km/hour. And it's glass walled. (There's also a glass floor that you can stomp around on, somewhere around 1200 feet up)....<BR/><BR/>(i've been up it twice, once as a kid and once at 21)<BR/><BR/>How'd I get off talking about elevators? Oh yeah, your very tall mall.<BR/><BR/>I bet Ditz will do wonderfully in this cho---- wait... <I>ensemble</I>. ;-)molytailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998928076467405984noreply@blogger.com
