My first impression of Calgary

Calgary, which is the forth city I have been to, is a big and busy city in Canada. Unlike Vancouver, Calgary has less high building in downtown, but the building of Calgary are modern building, and its downtown also is smaller. I think the highest building in Calgary is Calgary Tower which looks like a symbol of Calgary. On september 5, 2007, my home-stay mother drove me to look around the whole city when is my second day in Calgary. With her ride, I found some areas have been constructing such as extending the road, constructing the building. The impression of my mind is that Calgary still is a developing city in Canada, although it has more than 1 million. However, Calgary has convenient transportation system such as CTrain that is like skytrain of Vancouver, but the speed of CTrain is lower than the skytrain's; also, there are many modern shopping mall in Calgary such as Market Mall, Chinook Mall, etc. With the modern building, mall, transportation syste, I think Calgary is a morden city, but in fact it also is developing.

As a result, Calgary give me the first impression is a modern developing city in Canada.
