&#8211; lunato ) and i wanted to see it. i grabbed my laptop, downloaded everything i needed for today and tomorrow into it and left toronto early in the morning. its a 5 hour drive and it went by pretty fast.<\/p>\n<p>in ottawa i met dooh at his mom&#8217;s place and then we walked over to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andrexholdings.com\/2-2-1-01_strathcona.html\">The Strathcona<\/a> on Laurier avenue. its a very nice apartment and i was mucho jealous. dooh works 4 pm to midnight so he left soon. i unplugged his computer, plugged in my laptop, and used the internet connection for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p>in the evening i went out and walked towards downtown. it takes about 10-15 minutes to reach <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rideaucentre.net\/\">Rideau centre<\/a> from dooh&#8217;s apartment. not bad at all. it was really nice being outside and being so close to downtown. there are people here!! mississauga is such a boring residential place to live in.. ugh.<\/p>\n<p>i went to Shawarma Laguna and had their beef+chicken platter (yummm) while listening to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ottawasenators.com\/\">Senators<\/a> hockey game. the tv there was connected directly to the satellite and the person working at that hour apologized and said he doesn&#8217;t know how to change it. well.. i suppose listening live is better than nothing.<\/p>\n<p>took some more pictures on the way back and then went to sleep in the comfy sleeping bag.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/ottawa_20060202_01.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[OTTS]\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/thumb_ottawa_20060202_01.jpg?w=580\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/ottawa_20060202_02.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[OTTS]\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/thumb_ottawa_20060202_02.jpg?w=580\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/ottawa_20060202_03.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[OTTS]\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/thumb_ottawa_20060202_03.jpg?w=580\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/ottawa_20060202_04.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[OTTS]\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/thumb_ottawa_20060202_04.jpg?w=580\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/ottawa_20060202_05.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[OTTS]\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/thumb_ottawa_20060202_05.jpg?w=580\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/ottawa_20060202_06.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[OTTS]\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/thumb_ottawa_20060202_06.jpg?w=580\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/ottawa_20060202_07.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[OTTS]\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/thumb_ottawa_20060202_07.jpg?w=580\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/ottawa_20060202_09.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[OTTS]\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/images\/2006\/ottawatripfebruary\/thumb_ottawa_20060202_09.jpg?w=580\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>my father had to be in ottawa today for a meeting. since it was a thursday and the weekend was just across the corner, i decided to drive him to ottawa and spend the weekend there. dooh had recently moved into his own apartment ( congratulations alidooh!!
