this video makes me think Brazil will be a good time... Planning on visiting the statue o' Christ. Hit up the sugar loaf mountains and perhaps all the famous beaches and whatever else my sister Kristi has in store....

How one gets into Brazil

So I'm not sure if many of you have ever tried to enter the area in this world we call Brazil, but it is not an easy task by any means. I'm sure you are thinking, "but Mitch, can't you just buy a ticket and show up with your passport?"

Unfortunately no, you have to supply several things to apply for a visa which is only active for 60-90 days after receiving it. You must supply a consulate in Vancouver with the following.

1. Your passport, hey no problem
2. A 2x2 professional photo taken on a white background that isn't your passport photo
3. A letter from myself describing why I am going, who I am visiting and who is inviting me into the country.
4. A letter from the person inviting me
5. Proof of Income and Employment... a bank statement, my most recent check stub, and a letter from my employer...


5 very simple tasks for the normal person, but because I work 24 days in a row leaving the house at 6am and arriving home at 630pm, this does not allow much time to get this done...
