The capital of more than just Canada

Ottawa has a surprisingly large amount of the following things:
  1. Well dressed young people: Somehow the young people all seem to have a grasp on fashion. I don't know where they're all shopping, but I want to go there.
  2. Pubs: Pubs have out numbered any other type of bar or social club that I've seen here (with the exception of coffee shops) at least 2 to 1. No complaints.
  3. Money: Numbers 1 and 2 probably correlate fairly strongly with number 3. I'm told it's because so many people here work for various branches of government.
  4. Shawarma: I had no idea what shawarma was till actually went and tried it. It was served with a whole bunch of veggies and sauces I couldn't identify. The once sauce I swear was just mayonnaise and lots of garlic. But the whole plate was delicious. But there's seriously a shawarma place within five minutes of everywhere I've walked so far. These were the places I passed on the walk home today:
