... and wiping headlights, and a pair of even younger kids (as in, between 2 and 5 years old) going car-window to car-window pan-handling. And that's at each of the four entrances to the intersection. Then there are others that hop on and off local buses all day selling all the same stuff.
- Poverty is very real here. There are more than a few people who build makeshift tents in vacant lots from stuff they picked up in the trash and survive by ...

... only agreed to go if we could take the ****. The compere had other ideas though and would not engage with our assertion that we were from Kajistan (cant spell it but you know where I mean). So good food, bad entertainment was not a bad evening, some of us returned back to camp where I joined in the banter with these brazilian brothers and the night was passed in a haze of exchange of swear words, who says I don’t make the effort to learn? Fabio wanted me that ...

Nach fast drei Jahren war es fast wie die Rückkehr in ein zu Hause. Meine Gastfamilie hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen und wir haben eine wunderschöne Zeit in Paraguay verbracht. In Asuncion hat sich sehr wenig verändert, es richt/stinkt immer noch so wie vor 3 Jahren, die Busse klappern auch noch wie früher und Cerro, mein Lieblingsfussballverein hat wie gewohnt gewonnen.

... de rompre la routine des dortoirs ou des chambres minuscules. Nous avons donc filé dans un des hôtels de luxe, l'Asunción Palace! :) Les prix, bien que chers par rapport au pays, restent très raisonnables pour des occidentaux. Nous n'avons pas pris la suite de luxe, qui comportait 3 pièces distinctes plus la salle-de-bain, seulement une chambre normale qui ne comportait de que deux pièces... Elle avait l'air conditionné, le WiFi, mini-bar au même prix que les petites boutiques, le petit ...

... who come in from other areas, and people generally notice when any unrecognized vehicle or person comes into the area. It's a very close knit community, and I feel incredibly safe, safer than I would in DC. That said, there has have been a lot of cattle thefts in the last few months in our area as well, as people from a neighboring village have supposedly been coming and robbing at night. We have not lost any animals since I've been here. I met two ...

... service training for a group of 19 PCVs followed by an "encounter" (thats literally translated from spanish) for all 34 PCVs in our sector. Sort of a meet and greet that involved a photo-scavenger hunt around asuncion and a BBQ. I don't have much to talk about or any great pictures from Paraguay to share right now. Mom is coming down in just 6 weeks and we are planning our trip to Brazil. I was going to take portugese classes ...

... Pelligrini was extremely remote but lovely though. We stayed in this idylic little lodge and went out on various nature walks to see al sorts of animals, the caimen being the most impressive. The best excursion was the night trip on the boat, so many stars being such a remote area and the moon flowers that only come out at night were cool.

... particularly fast food, is pretty boring, basically variations on starch starch and starch, with a little meat thrown in for flavor in the ubiquitous pizza, hamburgers, and 'panchos' (hot dogs) that line the walls of perception. At least they still have empanadas, so I can remember what continent I'm in. The more expensive meals seem to merely shift the meat: starch proportions upward. They have tango and tenors, too, singing and dancing for tips ...

... auf jeden Fall für meinen Geschmack zu optimistisch. Als ich ihm gesagt habe, dass ** sich keine zu grossen Hoffnungen machen soll, meinte **, eine Nacht wie heute hält ** nicht nochmal durch. Ich dachte schon, ich wäre ein v**wöhntes Wohlstandsweichei, ab** offensichtlich hat mich meine Zeit in Manchest** abgehärtet. Od** es ist einfach Gewöhnungssache. Iza nämlich, die Spani**in, ist schon seit sechs Monaten hi** und bezeichnet uns** neues Zuhause b**eits als "paradiso". So weit w ...

... home for Christmas that its really hard becase in the end, most people don't really care about what you're doing in the PC. I was pretty sure that I could talk about PY WAY more than anyone wanted to listen. I was wrong. Ya'll asked me so many questions and people were so interested... Its my life, so its all I have to talk about, and I'm really lucky ya'll were so supportive. I thought that I ...
