... issue, but we were lucky. As we were walking between the presidential palace (the big white square meringue) and the river, we thought walking all the way around the palace and come back on the street on the other side. A guy jogging there stopped us, and told us not to go any further: litteraly a few meters from the palace, there's a dangerous shanty town! The guy was a security guard at the palace, so he told us tons of stuff, including stories of former presidents living ...

... mensen die in geen maanden een douche hebben gezien, die met elkaar praten of leeg voor zich uit staren. Hoe moet je hier in godsnaam mee omgaan? Wat kun je doen? Als de mensen van dit land er al niets aan doen, wie zijn wij dan? "$%@&! Soms kun je je zo machteloos voelen! Een diepe zucht. Het beste is waarschijnlijk om die beschermende muur weer om je heen te zetten, te bedenken dat deze mensen miscchien niet beter weten en best wel eens gelukkig zouden kunnen zijn. Wie weet...

... somewhere around 8pm, 5 hours into our bus trip and everyone was made to disembark with luggage in tow. When I reached the front of the queue of people having their bags checked I handed over my British passport which seemed to flumox the highly intelligent police officer who scrutinised me with questions like "where are you from? who are you with? how long are you staying? what are you doing here?" He opened my bag not really appearing to be looking for anything in ...

... for 9 nights to pray. Tonight will be the 9th night, so there will probably be lots of people around tonight. I did not go with them last night because I did not think it was appropriate, but after talking with people it seems that it may be OK if I went with them tonight, but I have not decided if I want to do that. I did not realize this before, but each family member has a specific amount of time in which they are officially in mourning. For my host ...

I gotta admit paraguay has really grown on me really fast, Im not sure why it has such a terrible rep, maybe coz not enough people dare to check it out to see the rep is not true. so it has sketchy areas and people but show me a country that doesn't, and i will buy you a beer in paraguay. Anyways in short Paraguay is super cheap, perhaps not as cheap as Bolivia... But Paraguayan food and beer doesn't send me running to the toilet 10 min later.... so heres some prices i ...

... 2 years has already past? The transition is going to be a little intense, but I think I'm ready for something new. It will be the first time I've ever lived in a city. Leaving my community is going to be hard, but I actually feel a lot better than I did 2 weeks ago. Last week my follow-up PCV came for his first visit to the community. (PC/PY will put a PCV in a community for a maximum of 6 years ...

... nice lunch nearby to relax out of the pretty warm weather. Beautiful day, but nice and hot (and it's winter now...) Afterwards I accompanied her to her English class, where she teaches most of the day to be a guest speaker and semi-teacher for a bit, which was fun. Then I walked down the street back to Sandra's shop, hung out a bit, and ...

... die abge****teste Muckibude, die ich je gesehen habe. Ich habe beschlossen, keinen Fuss mehr ins "Il corpo estetico" zu setzen. Lieber geh ich ein paar Bierchen trinken. So wie gestern, als mich irgendein Paraguayer bei einigen Brahmas (so heisst das Bier) zugelabert hat, dass ich unbedingt mal in ein Fussballspiel gehen muss, weil mir das gefallen würde. Ich habe nicht alles verstanden, aber so oft wie das Wort "loco" (verrückt) gefallen ist, muss er ...

... was a military curfew and no one told us. Eventually we found a very "characterful" place to stay according to the guidebook. Its one of the most run down places I´ve ever seen. The room and furniture looked ancient and had been fixed by hammering new bits of wood over old. I think I´m getting better at comunicating things without words. Dave inquired if the double room we were booking had two single or one double bed. He assured us with a smile it was a double bed. I ...
