stay indoors as much as possible while you're here in the months of Jan, Feb, Mar and parts of Aug :p (humidity). Because this boring city is basically strip malls, big box stores and family restaurants, Ottawa is great for saving money, more to spend for trips to Montreal.. only two hours away. 'Ripper joints are influenced by the proximity to Quebec.. so you draw your own conclusions ;)
You'll be surprised at how busy the nightlife is here, esp in the Market and Elgin streets. You can also travel from suburb to downtown in 20 mins easy and you won't pay more than $5 cover at clubs. EDM concerts prices range from $15-20 to see a top dj at Club Heaven. |

I lived in Ottawa/Gatineau for 6 years (Go Gee Gees!). Winters are brutal, but ice skating on the canal has given me the most memorable (and affordable) dates.
If you have Ontario plates, slow your a55 down when you cross over to Hull/Gatineau. They love to ticket Ontario drivers like flies on sh!t. They can even ticket your car without leaving a ticket on your wiper, eventually getting guilty verdicts for missed court dates you never got (long story).
La Pigale on Boul. Greber is always a good choice, and I think they allow you to touch now (in champagne rooms) that the laws in Quebec have loosened up... as loose as the French Canadian girls in Hull's clubbing district. |

Ive been going to Ottawa for years actually. My bro and sis go to school there, and my rents have been there for over a year and I have visited them frequently. I LOVE the winter! *yes I do* Im kinda sick of all the whiners about it lately ;) :p
Been over to quebec lots(top karting w00t! ) , chelsea, golf, skiing etc. Never had any issues with the cops though. I actually think the city is great. The nightlife is decent but like I mentioned(and others) its more house then anything else and typical university bar stuff. Montreal is close but not close enough ;)
Ive already been to an assortment of places to party (heaven, surface, cabin(ya i know) etc etc etc.)
It sucks because i want to save money and spend some time with my dad, but Id really like to stay in the GTA. So for now my stuff is being stored and Im moving there. Where I end up in a month -2 months really depends on where I land a job. (Ive got a better shot of getting one in the GTA).
Packing sucks btw! :whip: |

lol that's pretty damn maniacal. Couple of times, forget the highway you take (7 or something...) there are stretches with no lights and absolutely no cars whatsoever. You can literally shoot down doing around 150 to 160km/h. Not the safest thing to do in the middle of the night though. |

if I ran into a busload of children I would be dead first, the bus would stay intact:o :p
we were doing 170-175 me and an other guy who were going at the same speed, we kept switching positions depending on traffic.
good times. |
