Ottawa, Ontario

Last week Monday, my family and I took a special holiday to Connecticut, Ottawa, Canada. this was my first time in Ottawa, but I have visited Toronto in 04. The main difference between Ottawa and Toronto, almost every Canadian you meet speaks both English and French in Ottawa. All the products I've seen have facts in both English and French including Candies. The television shows programs in French including news. One interesting observation was that both in Toronto and Ottawa the television is influenced by the American culture, almost 8o% of the entertainments shows I saw in our hotel room were Americans. MacDonald, Tim Hortons and many other American fast food restaurant where everywhere. Everywhere I looked including on the MacDonald logo I saw Canadian flag. Perhaps because Ottawa is the capita. In summary, Ottawa has a British feel, and the Canadian greet you with a big welcome smile. Tourists were scattered everywhere. While we were pulling our languages upstairs, two young Canadian girls joined us in the elevator. Our son Berhane greeted them by saying, "Hi there, we're going to Canada." We all giggled, and reminded him that we were in Canada already. The trip was really fun! More pictures coming soon!
