Pinguim a solta no West Edmonton Mall!

No dia 16 de Julho eu fui ao West Edmonton Mall, aqui na cidade de Edmonton, na província de Alberta, no Canada e para meu espanto, encontrei um pinguim a passear pelo centro comercial (supervisionado pela sua cuidadora, claro).

 On July 16 I went to West Edmonton Mall, here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and for my surprise, I saw a penguin walking around the mall (supervised by its caretaker of course).

Coisas que gosto no Canadá - vídeo#3 (Segurança)

Ola a todos.

Este e o meu terceiro vídeo de uma serie de vídeos sobre Aspetos que gosto no Canadá (ou aspetos mais específicos sobre a cidade onde vivo, Edmonton, ou sobre a província onde vivo, Alberta.)

Irei fazer um vídeo sobre cada tópico, para que os meus vídeos não se prolonguem por muito tempo.

Neste vídeo falo sobre o facto da cidade de Edmonton ter uns postes de emergência, com câmaras de segurança e um botão de emergência  para contactarmos as autoridades se necessitarmos.
