I left Vancouver on 9/27 and arrived Brasil next day. Brasil is 4 hours ahead of west coast. Total flight time including brief meeting with Paul at Toronto Pearson airport is 17 hours. This time I used my Hong Kong Special Administrative Region People's Republic of China passport to gain entry. I am granted to stay for 3 months without visa (extensible 3 more months).
My previous 5-year multiple visa in my Canadian passport expired last year. This HKSAR passport is quite good. As of September 2010, HKSAR passport holders have been granted visa-free access or visa-on-arrival to visit 143 countries. It really compliments my Canadian passport. Brasil also recognizes dual citizenships.
Countries whose citizens enjoy the most visa-free access worldwide
157 countries Denmark
156 countries Finland, Ireland, Portugal
155 countries Belgium, Germany, Sweden, United States
154 countries Canada, Italy, Japan, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Spain
This is my 8Th time to Brasil. It is a vast country. So far I have visited 8 states. Here's an interactive map of Brazil. http://iguide.travel/Brazil#/Map
Brasil is much more than carnival, soccer, samba, beaches and hot women. Come and visit for yourself!
