My trip to Vancouver had two main reasons – visa and friend visit. I had to go to US consulate to get my working H1 visa in my passport, but it could have been in many different places, since my very good friend Iva lives in Vancouver, the choice was easy. I arrived to Vancouver Tuesday around 11 pm. It was small adventure since that day was in Bay area such a storm and heavy rain, and I was really surprised that the flight had only about 45 minutes delay. Wednesday morning I had 9.30 am appointment for my visa interview. The whole procedure was so difficult that it took couple of hours to get to talk to somebody, but I got my visa without any problems so all the wait was worth it! I had to come back again on Friday to pick up my passport, but till then I could enjoy Vancouver. Afternoon I spent mainly in Stanley Park, which is nice big park near Iva’s place. Unfortunately on Wednesday and Thursday Iva had school after her work, so we didn’t have much time to spend together. On Thursday I went to hike up Grouse Mountain, which is peak close to Vancouver, it should have nice views, but it was quite cloudy. Friday was raining quite a lot, so I stayed at the apartment in the morning and helped Iva with some school work, then picked up my passport and did some souvenir shopping. In the evening we went for a drink with Petr, one of her friend. On Saturday Iva had again school and it was raining a lot, so I spent the morning working on my computer and then later I came to meet her at one shopping center. In the afternoon we went for hike with Petr and some other friends, where we managed to get soaking wet. We ended up the day in swimming pool and then Petr invited us for nice Slovakian dinner and movie at his place. It was great! Sunday was my departure day, and we only managed to go for short walk in Stanley Park. Then I went to airport to catch my afternoon flight.

Muj vylet do Vancouveru mel dva hlavni duvody – visa a navsteva kamaradky. Musela jsem jet na Americky konzulat, abych dostala me pracovni visa H1 do pasu, ale to mohlo byt na spouste ruznych mist. Protoze ale moje jedna z nejlepsich kamaradek bydli ve Vancouveru, vyber byl jednoduchy. Do Vancouveru jsem prijela kolem 11 vecer. Bylo to male dobrodruzstvi, protoze ten den v San Jose a okoli byla velka bourka se silnym destem a ja jsem byla skutecne mila prekvapena, kdyz let mel jen 45 minut zpozdeni. Ve stredu v 9.30 jsem mela byt na americkem konzulatu abych si pozadala o visa. Cely proces zabral par hodin ale nastesti, kdyz jsem se dostala naradu, tak vse probehlo bez problemu a tak cele cekani stalo zato!. Musela jsem si zpet pro pas prijit v Patek, ale do te doby jsem si mohla uzivat Vancouveru. Odpoledne jsem stravila v Stanley Parku, coz je pekny velky park blizko mista, kde Iva bydli. Nanestesti ve stredu a ctvrtek Iva mela po praci skolu, a tak jsem nemeli moc prilezitosti neco spolu podniknout. Ve ctvrtek jsem se vydala na hour Grouse, coz je kopec kousek od Vancouveru, je z nej pekny vyhled, ale bylo docela zamraceno. V patek docela prselo a tak jsem zustala rano v byte a pomohla jsem Ive s nejakou skolni praci, pak jsem si vyzvedla pas a koupila nejake suvenyry. Vecer jsme sli na sklenicku s Petrem, jednim Ivinim kamaradem. V sobotu mela Iva zase skolu a zase hodne prselo, tak jsem stravila rano pracovanim na pocitaci a pak jsem se potkala s Ivou v jednom nakupnim stredisku. Odpoledne jsme vyrazili na prochazku s Petrem a dalsimi dvema kamarady, a tam se nam taky podarilo se dokonale promocit. Skoncili jsme v bazenu a pak nas Petr pozval na velice dobrou slovenskou veceri a film u nej doma. Byl to skvely vecer! V nedeli jsem odjizdela a tak se nam jen podarilo vyjit si na kratkou prochazku ve Stanley parku a pak jsem jela na letiste na muj odpoledni odlet do San Francisca.
