• The decadence is in the air.

  Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

  There is so much going on lately. It is uncommonly cold in Paraguay, houses are not prepared for this cold and you literally freeze everywhere, outside and inside the houses.
  Cold is a rare occasion in Paraguay, on the streets you see people wearing the weirdest cold weather clothes, un matching clothing, old fashion vintage […]

• My life in Paraguay

  Thursday, June 21st, 2007

  First sorry that I’ve been so busy lately that I didn’t have time to write, so much to catch on, so many people still to see…so many things to do.

• I have arrived!

  Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

  Finally after 24 hours and an almost lost connection I arrived in Asuncion…I couldn’t be happier when I saw Asuncion from above, I wanted to tell everybody in that plane how I felt…YAY I’m finally here.
  So little has changed in the past year, same places, same faces…it appears to be a city frozen in time, that […]

  EL TERERE
  EL TERERE
  El tereré no es una bebida… Bueno, sí. Es un líquido y entra por la boca. Pero no es una bebida. En el Paraguay nadie toma tereré porque tenga sed. Es más bien una costumbre, como […]

• In pursuit of Happiness

  Saturday, June 9th, 2007

  I always wonder what people need to be happy? What do they search? At what point or accomplishment people consider themselves happy? Does happiness last just a moment or once accomplished could it last a lifetime?, Is happiness somehow related to money?
  I think there are as many needs as people in the word, people need […]

• 1 Week to go!

  Saturday, June 9th, 2007

  I’m traveling next week…as you can imagine my house is a mess, full of things to take to Paraguay, suitcases around the hallway, in the bedrooms and even in the bathroom…
  Getting ready is never easy, I got tons of last moment requests from friends to take stuff down to Paraguay, so far I haven’t even […]

  Here is a list of some of little things we naturally do…as part of our daily life.
  1- Great all people with 2 kisses, men between them hand shake
  2- Wander around […]
