Surprising Ottawa

I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much of Ottawa. As the capital city, I envisioned something like Toronto but bigger and greyer. Turns out we were all wrong: Ottawa has a much smaller population than Toronto and the city centre is beautiful. We arrived to the sound of live music, and...

I'm off to see more of Africa

Hi friends, I'm leaving in 2 days. I'm still not realizing, still not excited about it because it was organized too fast and my brain hasn't kicked it yet :-) I hope that you will follow my adventure via this blog...

An Ontario favourite

The trip is continuing and from Ottawa our next destination was Kingston. (the reason why this entry is tagged as 'ottawa' is that for some strange reason, 'Kingston' does not come up as a recognized city on Blogabond so it can't pin point the location) Kingston is located slightly southwest...

Ottawa part II

So after over a week's silence, the next blog entry is written from.... Ottawa!!!! Readers of our blog probably wonder where we went and if we have been hibernating in Ottawa for the past ten days. Well, that is almost true, but with a twist. After we left Ottawa we headed to Montreal for...

In Canada's capital

We are now in the capital of Canada: Ottawa! We arrived three days ago and our plan was to stay two nights, but we liked it so much we decided to stay an extra night! The experience of Ottawa has far exceeded both our expectations. Perhaps that's because we actually didn't think much...

Ottawa, schizo-capitale fédérale

Tout à Ottawa reflète, de près ou de loin, la "schizologie" franco-anglaise. Les deux langues cohabitent tant bien que mal (le double affichage est obligatoire), mais elles se disputent inlassablement la politesse. Et si le français semble avoir gagné sur les panneaux indicateurs des rues, c'est...

Ottawa is thatta-way!

I sincerely hope that this will be my only stay in any Jail! That's right, the hostel that I stayed in in Ottawa was formerly a prison. Built in the early 1800's it was home to some of Canada's most violent criminals. The Jail is 9 stories high, complete with a level of solitary cells & a...

It's New To Me

I moved to Ottawa to attend school in 2007. Considering I traveled from the U.S. to get here, I think it counts as a trip! I did hit up a couple of spots along the way. Toronto was among these. People heard of the last place I lived (off the coast of BC) and automatically raved about the...
