... passing of no less than two cars and a bus in the midst of the chaos.<br><br>Paraguay lived up to it´s incredible food reputation and I had the best stake dinner of my life that night. Later the sound of traffic outside my window gently rocked me to sleep. Oh and as far as the game went; Brazil won buy a heartbreaking 1-0..... so no fiesta for Asuncion that night.<br><br>Part two<br>So after two days in the city of diversity and extreme, I am sipping my tereré like a try ...

... in the area, Seamus recounted how he&#8217;d come across 8 himself&#8230;&#8230;I was also met with similar blank response when trying to explain that a) what a 'scrab&#8217; was and b) that it was an actual real word. I must say it was a wee gem of a night, truth be told.<br><br>We left for the border after breakfast, stopping off at a duty free mall but it was fierce dear to be honest. We were at the brazilian border for 2 and ½ hours getting quizzed about our ...

... at the airport waiting for us as we came through customs. They had a large bus waiting for us that quickly got us to their home where they prepared an amazing meal that left everyone full and smiling.<br><br>We are getting ready for a quick meeting to discuss our mission for tomorrow and then getting ready to hit the sack. Talk to everyone again tomorrow!<br><br>

... there is a big difference between rich and poor in Paraguay. This area was just rich, with big mercedesses, expensive stores and posh people visiting the local discos. We were supposed to meet up with some people, but for some unknown reason they never showed up. Nevertheless we had a good night talking about Paraguay and the Netherlands and laughing a lot. She is quite a funny person. I already booked my ticket for the next day, but I would ...

... British" pub (which strangely was the place we saw the most people in any one area at any one time - I think, maybe, Asunción is the quietest capital city in the world). The city does take on a different personality at night. In my whole time in South Americam to that point, I've never felt unsafe, but here at night, you dont want to find yourself alone. There's something predatory about Paraguay's mysteriously quiet capital city.<br><br><br><br>We made our way back at a ...

... Before seeing them I did not thing it was possible to stick out more than I do, but I guess I was wrong. There are quite a few Mennonite communities in Paraguay, especially in the Chaco, and they have been really successful. Most of them still speak German or English. This weekend will be full of activities again. Already this morning lots of men came out to our place to continue working on the soccer field for the local club. We all went out ...

... I realize none of the channels will be covering the game: ESPN - Classic Boxing Matches, ESPN Plus - Asian Poker Tour, and Fox Sports - Soccer Highlights! Okay, this f---in sucks! The game of the year and I'm going to be staring at my computer screen for 4 hours looking at written play by play updates! At least the Gators won and my parents recorded the game for me so I can watch it at a future date. Anyways I am out of here and off to Iguazu Falls.

... were wall mounted and the staff wore orange polo shirts, just in case anyone is reading this in that internet cafe, don´t look at anything personal on the computers there!!) and the man in the fraud department said it was most likely an invisible Trojan virus on the computer that records your keystrokes. Scary what people can do with computers! Had another early night and packed up ready to leave in the morning for Pedro Juan Caballero.

... to eat that day, and some days I would rather not know. Most mornings I also have English class either with the seminary students or the kids in the primary school. Then lunch at 12 with all of the students and staff. It is the big meal of the day, have had everything ranging from chicken pot pie (almost like my moms) to beans and rice and either boiled chicken stomach or butt, I´m not really sure what it was. Then after lunch we have the traditional seista time, which I am coming ...

... we***** als gedacht. Die sprechen hi** definitiv schnell** und undeutlich** als ich das aus meinem kleinen Spanisch-Crashkurs gewohnt bin. Bei einigen kann ich ja auf englisch ausweichen, ab** bei and**en? Naja, wir w**den sehen ... Heute hab ich eh **st mal freibekommen wegen des Jetlags. Morgen beginnt dann meine Arbeit - auch wenn hi** niemand so recht zu v**stehen scheint, worin die eigentlich besteht. Hasta luego!
