In just a few hours, I'll be heading out to the airport to catch a flight to Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Re: Visa

I finally received my visa to Brasil this Monday. Funny thing is that on it, it says issued on March 6 and I recieved it March 20 after having to pay for priority mail. Hmm... maybe my visa was just sitting on that woman's desk...

Re: Shots

Immunuhnuh... immunuh... ehhh? How the heck do I say that?! immunuhNAIzation... Ended up getting 5 immune shots all at once on the day before my departure. I think the doctor would've wanted to see more needles being stuck into my arms if she hadn't caught me nervously wide-eyed. So now I'm protected from the following:

(in order of type of shots taken)
Tetanus/Diphtheria
Hepatitis A and Typhoid combination
Measles/Mumps/Rubella
Hepatitis B
Yellow Fever

I might have been given the measle shot already during high school. But since I wasn't sure and especially since the shot was covered by MSP, I figured it couldn't hurt to take the shot for that extra precautious. The winning shot for being most serious pain-cause goes to, ironically, Measles and Co. Ha, but I won't ever have to have the shot again... unless I forget I already had it (possibly twice). Runner-up goes to Yellow Fever.

Re: Packing

Nmm... 2.5 hours before I leave for the airport. 65% packing completed.

Err... gotta go! Next post from my new country :)
