so welcome to belo horizonte in brazil
two years after arriving in the country that i have grown to love
it was time to leave bolivia i'll miss you ramada and your beautiful smelly streets
two of my friends took me to viroviru international airport to catch my plane to
sao paulo and then on to belarusonti in brazil there seemed to be a lot of people wanting to
get out of bolivia this early in the morning hey guys so i am sitting at the airport um
waiting for my flight to sao paulo and uh i went through i'm here in bolivia flying from bolivia to
sao paulo today during covert um i didn't have any problems coming through necessarily the
lady at the desk asked me about my return ticket for my ticket out of brazil which i don't have
so i'm a little bit nervous about that when i get to brazil but uh i i've been to brazil
before without a return ticket so i'm not too not too stressed um about that so to speak
um as far as security goes there's not many people here more people are flying domestically
rather than internationally i think there's two flights one to sao paulo and the other to buenos
aires
so the only issue that i had was when i was checking and they asked me about
whether i had a ticket out of brazil so yeah a little bit nervous about that but
that's okay no problem but as i said i'm flying to sao paulo the restrictions for covered i don't
think there are many i don't have health insurance at the moment and i don't have a ticket out so
i guess i'm kind of like risking a little bit but um i i think the good thing is i
still have a bolivian visa so that will give them an excuse to let me in for a little bit um and
yeah and once i get to sao paulo i have five hours there and then i head on to belarusante so i will
keep you updated and show you what the journey is like flying into brazil during copenhagen
so sorry for the close-up angle right now there is nobody next to me but i did notice when i
was walking i'm at the black at the back of the plane i did notice that there's a lot of people
um like the seat the seats are all taken um so i'm hoping that at least the middle seat is taken
so they're taking this a little bit serious but yeah let me show you let me show you the
planet
and what is good is the the airport staff are taking this seriously they're saying
to people maintain social distance whatever but you know what people like
it's difficult for them to maintain the
distance
welcome to sao paulo one of the things i found really interesting was flying into the city after
having just gone through a big forest one striking feature of sao paulo is the high rises and small
buildings and here we are landing in the biggest city in south america being vindom and sao paulo
i don't know it was lunchtime anyway and i had a sandwich with a nutella cafe or coffee as we say
in english i needed a coffee and well the airport well you wouldn't think that there were covered
restrictions i actually filmed during some of the quietest times it got busier and busier
and great welcome beautiful weather sao paulo exactly what i wanted
i am finally here i have been here for almost two days now and you're probably thinking oh why are
you not in the airport filming well it was super overwhelming when i arrived in sao paulo i got to
immigration and the lady just started speaking just saying words and she was like cuantos diaz
like how long are you going to stay here for how long are you going to stay here for
and as you can remember in bolivia they were asking me about whether i had a return ticket so
this light went through my mind thinking oh my god i don't have a return ticket what am i going
to tell this lady so i just said oh i'm not sure i'm going back to bolivia maybe 30 days and she
said yeah okay and where are you going to spend your time here in brazil and i said in belarusanci
i'm going to visit some friends and that was enough for her to stamp my passport and let me in
she did not ask about a coronavirus test she did not ask for health insurance and i did not
need a return ticket so if you read things on facebook which people say you need all of those
things to come to brazil at the moment well i didn't need any of them and i got through okay
so i landed in sao paulo and as you know from the the pictures that i showed you coming into the
airport sao paulo is a massive massive massive city it's so big um and quite overwhelming i've
been there a couple of times as a tourist and yeah it's a nice place but it's just crazy big it's not
for beginners so i had to change airlines because i went from boa which is boliviana aviacion
bolivia which is the bolivian airline and i was changed to goal which is a brazilian airline so
i had to obviously go through immigration get my bags leave the the duty-free section and then
find the check-in for goal so yeah after a while of wandering around you know following the wrong
signs and this that night i walked for about 20 minutes and i found the the check-in for goal
and i went to the first guy i said hey i have a flight to belarus can i check in here he's
like no you need to go up here so i walked to a different section and i said hey i have a
reservation i have a flight to billarizanchi can i check in here and he's like no you need to go
here so there's different parts of gold there's parts for premium there's parts to check in um
by yourself and then there's parts uh just normal check-in at the desk
so i was i went to the normal check-in then i went to the premium which i bought because i
had to get two big bags and then i went up to like the self-serve check-in and people kept telling me
different ways to go so i then i went back to the first guard i was like dude you need to
come with me this guy's telling me to go here go there go there and anyway i got him to come with
me i got through the premium section i checked in my two bags and then i went and went and had some
lunch um as you can see in the video right now i had a sandwich and i had a nutella coffee i felt
i was almost going to have a beer but after like wandering around the airport for i was literally
wandering around for an hour i'm trying to find the place to check in i thought that i just have
a nutella coffee uh and the beer just you know it didn't sit right so when i felt so tired so
yeah i gave myself five hours in sao paulo because i knew it was going to be a little bit of a
i didn't i wasn't quite sure about how immigration how long immigration would
take and immigration took less than 10 minutes and i wasn't sure how long
it would take me to like find the check-in area and that was probably the longest and hardest part
um it probably took half an hour wandering around the airport trying to find the check-in desk
so then once i got through uh security um i i had like three hours to wait um and probably too
long but that's fine it gave me a chance to have lunch it gave me a chance to wander around charge
my phone and just do normal airport stuff right um and then it was time to get on the plane and
there was my seat was in the middle of two other people and there was an under 17 football soccer
team and ice that was sat right in the middle of them and i was so tired and i was so exhausted and
they were so loud the whole trip they were talking and uh you know brazilians talk really loud and
they they were so loud so i couldn't really like relax or i couldn't really record anything because
uh of the noise the sheer noise on the airport uh the shinoise on the on the plane and the worst
thing about it was we were an hour late leaving so we were sat on the plane for a whole hour until
we we left which was a bit annoying but whatever um and the flight to belarus auntie was an hour
uh and my friend met me at the airport and then we came to my new house which is good i might do
a house tour um for my next video and yeah it's really handy i have a supermarket over here and
it's everything is quite close the area is quite nice i will say my first impressions arriving here
in belgium i noticed that a lot of people live on the streets i've never lived in a city this big so
i'm a little bit nervous to see what um what it's like because i felt super comfortable and familiar
with bolivia because i lived there for two years so i'm sure it's just gonna take some time um yeah
and i want to say guys thank you so much for supporting my youtube channel i uh it's going so
good um i have 220 plus subscribers uh in since i filmed my first video in august um and if
