Oh give me a home, where the roaches don't roam....
Apparently there are some sub-par apartments in Ottawa
Sign "For Rent - Ask next door at Quizno's"
"Hi, are there still places for rent upstairs?"
"Kinda..."
"Pardon?"
"I don't think you'd fit in - you don't seem to have an obvious crack addiction and don't seem to be dealing anything either."
"Errr.... I suppose I could fake it if the apartments are nice enough."
"Well there are places for rent, but I sure wouldn't call them 'apartments', they're more like moldy closets where you share washrooms, a kitchen and vermin with the various crackheads in the building."
"How special... I think I'll pass".
This was followed by a few other failed attempts at finding suitable lodgings... so far the best one I've seen is a smokey rooming house with a bunch of middle aged "hard drinking" guys where I was greeted a fellow who seemed to have only a vague grasp of English and some guy rolling a joint... sadly it was the least troubling place that I saw.
Cheers,

Have you considered begging your friends for a floor or bathtub to sleep on/in? Why oh WHY do you always wait till the last minute for things?
And as far as the young man rolling a joint goes... you never know, it may not have been pot he was packaging. In England its cheaper to roll your own tobacco.
Good luck! And if you're feeling masochistic enough to find yourself in Belleville again before the 2nd lets go for coffee ^_^
P.S. If a young lad is trying his best to pick you up with his fantastic cigarette-making skills before you realize its NOT a join his ego will effectively be crushed by any and all giggling. Word to the wise.
