Zaphir Hotel Asuncion

... we as delegates feel about these issues and what we would like to see our conference do. We´ve also been discussing the tensions that exist between gathering together continentally, and becoming more busy, or using more resources. We don´t have an easy solution, but we really feel that building relationships, especially over the border is very important and something that we can´t neglect. One question that we mentioned was ...

... du Paraguay! Par manque de temps nous ne sommes pas restés longtemps et nous avons quitté Asunción après seulement deux nuits, mais le lit était super inconfortable et il y avait des cafards géants et des moustiques aggressifs dans la chambre, alors c'était la meilleure chose à faire. :)<br><br>----------<br><br>Leaving Puerto Iguazu, two border crossings later and I was in Paraguay. The buses not waiting for passengers at border crossings (up to us to take the next one ...

... feel during the week. It was really hard and sad to leave my host family that I lived with during training. There was a lot of crying all around town in the days before all the trainees had to leave. My family was great, and actually just now while writing this they called me to check up on me. They've actually been calling or texting once or twice a day since I ...

... joke, Paraguay hides nervously behind the muscle and brawn of it's relatively herculean neighbours. In spite of this, I was convinced there must have been a major oversight and had set Asuncion high on my list of places to visit before I had even left England. But I'll be the first to admit I didn't think it would be my first venture into independent travel.<br><br><br><br><br><br>ACT 1 - A DECISION IS MADE...<br><br><br><br>The Sunday before last Emily had suggested we make time ...

... I saw an awful moto accident on the side of the road. Two people died, and the bodies were laying out there on the ground with a group of people around them before anyone arrived. Another group had passed by about an hour and half earlier and said that they were there then as well. Everyone supposes that they were waiting for the news cameras to arrive before the bodies were taken away. That definitely makes since there is no taboo on showing dead ...

... our work in the community - so meaningful when you consider that these 3 individuals couldn't even turn a computer on 8 months ago. Our to-do list was all checked off by the first week of December, leaving us with ample time to spend with our favorite families. Among the most prominent of our conversation topics was the lengthening drought - 5 weeks of no rain in Paraguay and days and days of 100 degree temperatures were taking their toll on ...

... other nurses made up a skit for puppets about saying clean, not drinking the river water ect. it was fun and we also taught about brushing your teeth again. The next day we went to another villiage and did some testing for diabetes there, and I also got to do some real nursing work, seeing patients my self and asking questions giveing medications, of course Denise was right there but it was fun to feel like I could actually do something ...

... für die gute Organisation gelobt. Warum sie es dann nicht gleich selbst schneller machen können, ist noch eines der Rätsel, das ich lösen muss. Aber wie sagte der andere deutsche Praktikant, der zwei Monate hier war, jetzt aber abgereist ist? "Das Lohnniveau eines Landes wird durch die Produktivität des Produktionsfaktors Arbeit bestimmt. Die Löhne hier sind niedriger als im Iran. Was sagt dir das über die Arbeitsmoral?" Touché. Ich möchte das aber ...

... plastered across the entire frontage of the place I chose, this seemed to cause all sorts of consternation for the serving staff. I thought ordering coffee with milk was one of very few phrases I had cracked but three seperate waitresses cracked up in hysterics before fetching a guy who seemed to understand what I wanted. There was still some slight confusion as he brought a mug of coal black liquid and a microwave from the kitchen and then my drink was then mysteriously heated for ...
