I don't think so.

The food maybe a little bit expensive(really not that bad) but the house is much cheaper than Toronto even the house market in Ottawa is still red hot now. As CISCO paid someone 150K, that someone must be a
top designer since NT top designers are paid similarly. But most of people should be only paid around 80-100K. It is just telecom. A lot of people in Ottawa work for the public service and the salary are lower than telecom sector, still they are living pretty decent life. Hi-tech workers are only 10% of the work force in Ottawa.:)

在那里呆了一年，虽然活动范围基本集中在学校附近，不过不是很复杂的问题应该可以解答吧。而且我还有个朋友还在那里，相信他不知道的事情还不是很多。不行把你推到他那里 -babyblue(从渥太华到多伦多); 2003-3-15 (#1089783@0)

thanks. where's chinatown? how far is it from downtown? how good is it? (no big surprise eh?) many thanks. -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089788@0)

见内 -babyblue(从渥太华到多伦多); 2003-3-15 {337} (#1089805@0)
其实没有这边意义上的chinatown,但是在somerset从bronson往西有些华人超市。本身这片地方就是downtown了。最大的是九龙和168，东西比这里贵不少，比较典型的例子是，多伦多温哥华蟹卖3.99的时候，168的大石蟹还卖7.99（据我朋友所说）。吃来说，多伦多要比渥太华好很多。渥太华确实不是个很大的城市。但是夏天的时候，那也确实是个漂亮的小城（非华人街所在地区）

Really appreciate your help! -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089811@0)

I guess I know it so I will answer it for you :). Chinatown in Ottawa is on Somerset street. It is just a couple of minutes of drive from downtown to Chinatown -wade(wade); 2003-3-15 {457} (#1089815@0)
Chinatown in Ottawa is very small, just a few blocks long on Somerset street. There are 2 relatively big Chinese Grocery stores there and a bunch of small ones. You can get almost everything you need for daily life. Most of stuff are a little bit expensive than in Toronto, but it is definitely affordable. Other than grocery store, there are barber's place, cake/cookie stores and of course retaraunts. The Chinese restaraunts in Ottawa are pretty bad :).

Very very discouraging... thanks so much for your help... I wish I had a choice... -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089820@0)

相信你理解了我头一次到渥太华，看到当时多伦多卖0.29/lb的上海小奶白在渥太华卖1.29的时候的感受。我离开的时候，我的好朋友为我饯行，我们是开到montreal去吃的饭:-) -babyblue(从渥太华到多伦多); 2003-3-15 (#1089827@0)

I will fill up my trunk with 上海小奶白 and other stuff -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089858@0)

可能言重了，可能因为那时候比较节约。不过在渥太华680你可以租到one-bed room了。这是去年中的价格，当然不知道现在怎么样 -babyblue(从渥太华到多伦多); 2003-3-15 (#1089870@0)

About 6 or maybe more years ago, single bedroom in Toronto mid-town is about 850 per month. That's quite a gap. -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089894@0)

I am paying over $1000/month for my Jr 1 bedroom + parking. Also, I cannot find cheap vegetable in Toronto. :((( -fionah(); 2003-3-15 (#1089915@0)

don't rent anymore... guess it's not so uncommon to pay a grand for a single? I know seven eleven bay street charged more many years ago... so if you're in a good location, you've got a good deal... -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 {124} (#1089924@0)
btw, nice to hear you talking to me..a while ago, my post to you were mostly ignored... what made you change your mind... :D

You must have misunderstood me. I've never ignored your post. Just most of them were difficult to continue. Anyway, nice to talk with you. -fionah(); 2003-3-15 (#1089930@0)

No hard feelings, honey. -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089938@0)

I would ignore your post again. :) -fionah(); 2003-3-15 (#1089952@0)

Put your right hand on the Bible, and raise your other hand... -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 {12} (#1089956@0)
Now swear...

Put my right hand -fionah(); 2003-3-15 {87} (#1089970@0)
on the the right of keyboard, and put other hand on the other side...

Now I swear...

You've lost sweetie... and what's the bet again? -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089972@0)

I wonder if there's no bet at all. -fionah(); 2003-3-15 (#1089977@0)

that's not fair -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 {27} (#1089979@0)
give me your bible cover...

偶在OTT的时候,ONE-BEDROOM只要500,哎 -beetgrey(Girl Interrupted); 2003-3-16 (#1090285@0)

多伦多哪里可以买到0.29/lb的上海小奶白？我最近买的那种小小的上海小白菜都是1.99/lb的。 -fionah(); 2003-3-15 (#1089903@0)

What what? Let me find my receipts... -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089904@0)

夏天的时候。现在我在龙华买好像是0.79/lb之类 -babyblue(从渥太华到多伦多); 2003-3-15 (#1089926@0)

babeblue, I can't find any of my receipts. :( -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089928@0)

其实没关系的。 -babyblue(从渥太华到多伦多); 2003-3-15 {234} (#1089937@0)
差价并没有那么明显，只是我记住了几个比较显著的例子。渥太华无论从环境还是治安来说都很不错。人也更友好一些。680是离downtown大约40分钟公车的地方，downtown的one-bed room要贵一些。我们学校附近因为供求关系的缘故就要790。我认为你还是会适应的
另外你有车的话，可以搬到hull住，我们同学one-bed room只要400多。不过如果你有工作，税要高一些 -babyblue(从渥太华到多伦多); 2003-3-15 (#1089940@0)

thanks. -fionah(); 2003-3-15 (#1089932@0)

"多伦多卖0.29/lb"! 这是什么季节的价格呀 -ew2t(最愁吃什么：｛); 2003-3-17 {22} (#1091447@0)
大中华现在可是1.99/1B!

不是那种很小很小的，而是普通大小的。 -babyblue(从渥太华到多伦多); 2003-3-17 (#1091516@0)

Well, I only go to Chinatown once a month. Ottawa is a very nice city. Medium size, safe and beautiful. You are going to love here. I chose Ottawa over Toronto when I started a family and never regret it:) -wade(wade); 2003-3-15 (#1089828@0)

I agree with you at this point. Honestly speaking, I miss Ottaw a lot. -babyblue(从渥太华到多伦多); 2003-3-15 (#1089840@0)

Do you miss Ottawa the city or the friends there? -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089845@0)

Both. I hope my friends could move to here :-) And I hope I had skated on the canel last winter. -babyblue(从渥太华到多伦多); 2003-3-15 (#1089848@0)

不用安慰我们了,对我们这样层次的人而言,多伦多比ottawa好太多了,没有什么可比性的.人在一个地方住久了,总会有些感情的. -life_is_so_short(人生苦"短"); 2003-3-15 (#1090084@0)

:-)别人说老友记堂吃味道也是不错的 -babyblue(从渥太华到多伦多); 2003-3-16 (#1090316@0)

吃过一次,味精放得太多 -life_is_so_short(人生苦"短"); 2003-3-17 (#1091404@0)

Now I understand why CISC payed 150K to take some people away from NT. Looks like it's a relative expensive city... -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089846@0)

That was the dot com year tho... -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089854@0)
I don't think so. -wade(wade); 2003-3-15 {540} (#1089862@0)

Hopefully our Liberal gov will keep it that way... -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089871@0)

:) I am not quite sure of which way you want the gov to keep. The rumor is the managers in gov are paid really well. I forgot telling you another benefit in Ottawa -wade(wade); 2003-3-15 {337} (#1089882@0)
that you may have chance to bump with all those TV politician figures on the street, just like ordinary people. I did twice. John Manley himself also mentioned that the day he revealed the fed budget he actually skated to downtown, all by himself :). Amazingly, noone on Canal even recognized him :). I hope you enjoy the life in Ottawa.

That'll be fun... I wish to have a pool there so the swimmer enjoys more... ;) -mocha(Kaa the snake); 2003-3-15 (#1089892@0)

@Victoria
