I was just browsing YouTube and I came across this video which looks pretty awesome, it’s similar to the time-lapse video I posted on Vancouver. Its a video of the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta which to be honest I had never heard of before, though it looks pretty cool, there are some pretty interesting hot air balloon designs which are a good laugh. Anyway as usual if your going to give it a watch make sure you view it in 720p or higher to really give the video justice. Enjoy

Also this one shows you a bit more of some the cool looking hot air balloon designs.

First of all I’m basically writing this to give people an idea about the B1/B2 visa if they are going on a Canadian Working Holiday. I’m not an expert when it comes to American visas so you should always check the American Consulate website to ensure that you have the correct information.

I got my Canadian visa a number of months ago which allows me to work in Canada, however it gets a little bit complicated if I want to visit the US after I’ve been in North America for 90 days. Essentially the rule is your only allowed to spend up to 90 days in the US on the visa waiver program, however time you spend in Mexico and Canada counts towards this 90 day limit. Since my Canadian visa allows me to work in Canada for 2 years and it’s likely that at some point after 90 days I will want to visit America, I won’t be eligible to visit the US on the visa waiver program which means I have to apply for a B1/B2 visa if I want to visit for tourist reasons.

So as the title says, this is just a quick update. I haven’t been up to too much exciting stuff, blame that on university! I did go bowling and then see a pretty good movie on Saturday night though, it’s called Green Zone (I know, pretty bad name, sounds like a kids movie) and the main role is cast by Matt Damon. It’s about the American invasion of Iraq (though it interweaves between fact and fiction throughout the movie). If you get a chance check it out, in the mean time here is a trailer for the movie;

In completely unrelated news, I have a report due in the next few days which is based on time management, I was meant to audit my activities at the end of each day for a week to determine how well I spend my time… well Facebook, TV, the movies, among other things may have distracted me from doing that so ironically I’m going to be rushing to get the report done… I suppose I’m not that good at time management…?
