City of coincidences
Friday, October 13th, 2006
One of the things I noticed during my trips to Asuncion is that social life is a big part of the culture.
Some people go out a lot, from Monday to Monday, even if they have to work next day, some won’t just settle for not going out just because they have to wake up early, […] -

Downtown Asuncion
Wednesday, October 11th, 2006
Still wandering thru downtown Asuncion i noticed the abandonment of the buildings that not long ago were full of live, now they show somehow a nostalgia of better moments.
There you can see a big contrast between old “antique” and modern.
In normal days you will find all kind of people on the streets, most of them selling […] -

Every day in Paraguay is an adventure, it can be hilarious or very annoying, it depends on how you take those little things that can spice life easily.

Where to Eat? Asuncion restaurant guide
Saturday, October 7th, 2006
Paraguayan food is just delicious, I always gain a few pounds while there (they are well worthy :-)), not just because I love it but also because food is part of social life, and while there as a tourist, I dine out much more than I used to while living there.
My life there is awesome, every […] -
