... little town close to Asunción, Luque, numerous craftmen build guitars and harps, so we went there to have a look. We found ourselves again in one of those crazy bum-tenderizing buses painted all over with bright colours, and we got shaken! :) And Luque's not a city, at most a village spread out around a main road. We randomly went off, hoping to find ourselves in the right place. Missed. But we ended up just in front of a small ice cream shop, so in the end it wasn't that bad! ;) After ...

... de survie non nécessaires. RSVP, au plus vite. ---------- Young man of good character, 29, is looking for one or more travel buddies for a little madness: a country lost in South America, without too many laws, one of the most corrupt police in the world, a raid from the Southern plains to the edge of the Pantanal in the North, then to the marshlands of the Chacos in the West, with a possible ...

... tait content d'avoir mon guide de voyage avec moi, parce que c'est impossible d'obtenir une information touristique là-bas, même pour savoir quel bus prendre c'est un calvaire. J'ai trouvé le nom d'un hôtel dans le centre, j'ai sauté dans un taxi et après un souper rapide hop je suis allé dormir autant que je pouvais.<br><br>Le lendemain Daniela arrivait en avion, alors j'ai découvert les joies du chaos d'Asunción, les vieux autobus peints de toutes les couleurs qui nous ...

... look like they could be abandoned (though they are not) and need lots of repairs. They are also a lot of just multistory plain cement buildings. It is not a nice city. I suppose I was expecting something more befitting a world capital, but it looks like pictures I have seen of Cuba. Outside of the downtown area, there are a lot of basic buildings, lots of hardware stores, auto repair shops, etc. Nothing worth noting. The second time I went in ...

... it is 6 months, for my host father it is one year, and for my host mother it is 3 months, based on their relation with the deceased.I am still very unclear about what this means, and I am hesitant to ask any more and broach the subject. My host brother has said that this means he can´t go out to parties or dances during that time, and I believe they all have to wear at least some black during this period. I did not realize that it was such a traditional ...

... happiest dream you could imagine for Peace Corps volunteers who hope one day their projects will be sustainable and successful. The field trip to San Rafael Reserve with a group of high school kids finally came to fruition and was even better than hoped. Even when rain started falling during the middle of the trip, trapping most of us there for an extra day, the excitement of the kids at their first chance to explore the famous San Rafael ...

This is a little taste of adventures in Paraguay with Armond. Armond is my Canadian friend who came with the team in 2003 and this year is now his 4th time in Paraguay. Every day in Paraguay is not an adventure, but every day in Paraguay with Armond is. This story is part of an email that I sent to my mom and it also shows the Paraguayan Brazilian South American mind set about time. As you know we are on Paraguay time. We were supposed to ...

Jetzt hab ich also die erste Woche hinter mir. Ich würde nicht sagen, dass sie ereignisreich war - das liegt in erster Linie daran, dass ich es immer noch nicht aus meinem Viertel geschafft habe. Interessant aber war sie allemal. Ausserdem muss ich ja die nächsten fünf Wochen auch was zu tun haben :) Ich fange am besten einfach an, wo ich bei meinem letzten Eintrag aufgehört habe. Aus der Karaoke-Bar wurde nichts, weil die anderen, die kommen sollten, drei ...

... have done as I passed locals wrapped up in winter wear. I had decided to tackle the 4km or so walk into the town centre and followed my instinct as to the direction in which I needed to head. After about an hour of walking, the largely commercial and residential streets had become lined by only open fields and I suspected that my instincts may have let me down. I turned around and headed into a small shop to buy a couple of empanadas for breakfast and to attempt to confirm the location ...
