Ok now a good story about getting the VISA in Montréal.

So I have waiting for official papers from the compagny Tyco in Brazil and AIESEC lc Caxias Do Sul for more than 3 weeks. From other relatives reference, its can by surprisingly long to have anything from Brazil (SN Rodrigo in Canada got is 2 weeks after it supposed to, but it took 3 days and he was in COLD CANADA ;) ). After looking at the mail for 3 weeks, and called Post-Canada (they told a vague answer to a vague question, can take between 2 to 6 weeks:S), I got the papers send by mail and printing out, not the original signature and all but we'll try with that, NO TIME LEFT, EXAMS and HOLIDAYS after dec. 12th.

Well the postman past 5 min after I left for school on thursday, left a note to get the letter in a post-canada near location. Of course I party thursday night and wake up at noon as usual, so I need to get to Montreal (120 km from small Sherbrooke) before 4 pm, with the original papers and a place to sleep. So ya right I m gonna grab the bus to mtl at 1pm, so I rent a car, (the cheapest out of 5 place, range from 80$ to 160$ + 33$ of gaz, thanks location Pelletier) got the papers, gave back to books from Brazil at the library and the camera I rent for a NICE marketing presentation (last class of university!! I'll upload it if I can), and fastline to the down-town consulate!

Of course the right windshield wiper is dead and there was a snowstorm + big trucks to send tsunami of water particules to blind me, driving in Canda in winter is a national eXtreme Sport in itself, at 140 km/h. I didn t help myself to wake up late, but when there life, there is a chance. So I reach Mtl in 1h which is pro-driving, traffic jam (the city is half the state population), anger for every slow-gammy and US tourist with monster SUV. I finally got to the down-town aera after missing the exit but luckily there was another one, God is with me on this one. I get to the building, no parking lots, I put the flashers on (sign of detress which I was), when to get some cash (108$, exact amount), got myself a pack of gum to make the 8$(crazy consulate rules), its 3h50, good boy!

The tiny office containt all the stereotype, 3 women who yak at going to Rio for a cruise, laught and talk so loudly and took a lot of time joke with the only secretary (a chinese speaking portuguese!?!), a quebecer with a crying baby to her mother that always leave and enter the room, a beautiful brazilian women around 25-26 wow, the boss in tie which very strick. Pure joy of the consulate, so I take rank, talk to the chinese, I've got to fill a form which is loose on a rack and not even the same one as the one on internet, I fill it, line up again, give it, got to fill it again because a wrong check on the visa type (for federal brazilian police, that enought to refuse the visa!). 4h15, its getting hot in here, I m alone now, the chinese girl is not angry at me to seems so lost in all my papers but more of a compassioned look. Gave pictures, original letters (never new if the copy will have work), 108$, passeport, police report (25$), didn t need the 35$ birth certificat :@ . So everything look ok now, 4h30, I getting push out of the office with a relief, gave my friend from Montreal the receipt so she can pick up the passeport with hopefully the visa in it, next wednesday. I'm not going back there ! Plus they are moving the office, but don t know where HAHA.

Just pure fun, what a nice story! And my car hasn't been thowed by the city woohoo, now party!

I couldn't have imagine it another way :) cost a lot of money to go away in paradise!

I also bought a nice backpack, really great with full of option, 170$ there goes the picture.

Got to sleep now, another day has passed, I'm coming Brazil be ready, I am in my way;)
