I usually and most of the time talk about what I like/love of Paraguay and obviously I like most of the things but there is always another side of the coin, there are always things we don’t like about certain things or places, right?

There are no perfect thing/place/person/etc. that is a rule, and Paraguay is NO an exception.

Here is my list of dislikes:

• Politicians, corruption, fraudulent elections, Ignorant government
• Dissolution of the middle class- Rich getting richer, poor getting poorer
• No enough schools, analphabetism, no student loans
• Contraband
• Working kids on the streets, exploited children and teens
• No proper social justice system
• Baches (sink holes on the streets)
• No good draining system
• Extremely hot/humid in summer
• Emigration due lack of opportunities
• Separated families due to one of the parents of both emigrated to another Country for economic reasons. (kids are raised by relatives, grand parents or aunts, this will become a huge problem in the near future).
• Stinky and pollution generating busses
• Cell phone thieves
• Human Patrimony colonial- neo classic buildings destroyed or not well maintained.
• No Paraguayan airlines making it always so difficult and expensive to travel in and out of Paraguay

For the moment this is enough to illustrate my point of view, this doesn’t mean I  love Paraguay less.

Paraguay for me is not related to an adjective, good or bad, ugly or beautiful, it is related to an emotion, love…unconditional love.

God: Have compassion of our Country.
