Walking around Kitsilano In The Morning

Feeling poorly and failing recently with my attempts to make an appointment with a doctor, they are not taking any new patients I looked up a nearby Walk In Clinic and strolled over being sure, since it was Saturday morning to get there at 09:00 when they open. 
When I arrived the young receptionist assured me that there was an open slot at 14:30and as I don’t yet have a government Medical Services Card, if a fee of C$125 was acceptable then I could walk back in at that time.

Currently the government sponsored medical insurance scheme costs C$37.75 a month. Next year there is no charge to users.




I opted to walk back on a quite street and encountered 5 young men who greeted me with good morning sir. Well I said I can tell by your accents that you are Irish, where are you from. Dublin they said, and I told them I am from Belfast and we chatted for a bit. I asked if they were moving here permanently but they said no they first had to return home to finish their university studies but they might move here as it is a beautiful city.

Saying goodbye I commended them for getting an early start to their day. 
Oh no they said we are walking home from last nights outing. 
So that merited a picture.

Made me feel cheerful about Ireland and maybe the world
