Countdown: Last 30 Days in Ottawa: Hash


"Everyone has a story, a conflict waiting to be resolved"
To me, Hash is less Ottawa and more Lebanon. Lebanon's political and religious unrest, it's mythical beauty and multifaceted people, personified.

Countdown: Last 30 Days in Ottawa: Haiti in Three Faces

Haiti: first black led postcolonial independent nation in the world, and the first Caribbean nation to gain independence. Tiny country of just 8 million. These three Haitian kids, with their dance, their laugh, their attempts at teaching me French- made Ottawa memorable!

Countdown: Last 30 Days in Ottawa: Day 26: One year later...


It took me an entire year of hating Ottawa to finally sink my roots into its very heart. And now that I feel at home, I'm leaving it.
It has been a month full of angst, I don't want to give Ottawa all up!
