Today is our anniversary, this same day one year ago I wrote the first post…I can hardly believe it. This was a great experience, I have learned a lot about my country and had the opportunity to write my own thoughts and anecdotes too.
I can’t believe that 1 year have already past, It seemed yesterday that we came up with the idea.
What did I learned and enjoyed from this experience
1- I met in person some of my readers and found out that they thought that my tips were useful
2- Got some great and faithful readers that so far I haven’t meet in person but I’m looking forward to do so
3- The closest people to me are the people that less read my blog (maybe because most are Paraguayans, or maybe because they don’t speak English, or maybe they don’t even know about my blog?)…It’s still a mystery.
4- You love your own country more when you are far…
5- Writing is an art, writing in English a miracle. (at least for me)
6- My happiest moments are when I can take street pictures in Paraguay (well, I knew this before..I guess)
7- This blog has so many information about Paraguay that me myself have used it a lot when searching for things that I couldn’t find where else, like URLs I have put together and other information.
8- That often temporary things become permanent things (like my green template)
9- That writing this blog made me see deeper into situations and order my ideas clearly to write it down after wards.
10- My friends use to make fun of me telling me that I’m wasting so my time with this blog, adding photos and researching interesting stuff…THEY ARE SO WRONG.
11- One can never have too much cake!! Happy Birthday! You made this possible…Let’s celebrate…just pick the cake you want!!

Muna,
Although I have not posted any comment before, I have been reading your blog since about six month ago. I though your blog’s birthday is a good occasion to post my first comment.
I would like to congratulate you for such a good job. Your blog is very informative, easy reading, well organize, and your advices are very useful.
I appreciate the information I have gathered from your blog. For example, I have got the best deal on air tickets to Asunción from an agency you commented. Since I am in the process of returning to Asunción, I have got a good impression of how the situation is over there, from your comments and the links you have given to other sites, especially that one where international people give opinions on their living experiences in Paraguay. After knowing of the book “Dreams of an Immigrantâ€, I rushed to get one copy, and enjoyed reading it. The first think I do when I feel nostalgia of Paraguay (which is very often) is to check whether there is something new posted in your blog.
Muchas Felicidades and I hope you will continue keeping us update on Paraguay.
Hector

Hector,
I’m so happy you have been reading my blog =) and I’m so glad that you have finally posted a comment! You picked a good day for that, our birthday!
When are you going back to Paraguay? I also feel nostagia about Paraguay…too often I guess…this is my way to feel closer and offer people a little bit of my land, a little bit of my heart thru this blog. I hope you keep reading my blog and as I always say if only one person can enjoy it my work is done here =)
Saludos! y gracias por las Felicitaciones!
