Not worth it!
I grew up poor in San Diego, which was kind of tough. Image is everything, and when you can’t afford the right image, you might as well not exist.
Visiting is probably not bad, but living there is exhausting.
Worth visiting!
It’s always been a dream of mine.
But, I was lucky enough to visit with work several times last year. An old friend lives downtown, and he takes me to the cool local spots :-) I also gallavanted with some friends with work. Great times. I want to go back…
Worth visiting!
I visited there for work four times last year. At first I was not impressed, as the office was out in Kanata where there’s nothing to do. But in later visits, I stayed downtown and had a great time.
Since it’s the capitol of Canada, it does have a lot of things to see.
Winterlude is cool, but when I scheduled a business trip to coincide, the weather was too warm to skate on Rideau Canal or keep any ice sculptures solid.
The downtown area is great for pedestrians. Last time I stayed at Novotel and just walked everywhere.
The National Mint was interesting…you can tour the factory with gold and silver everywhere, and lift a gold bar (chained down of course ;-).
The National Gallery was great. I went twice. You can see my comments: http://www.43places.com/entries/view/1055941
