Ai ai ai, Paraguay!
Today it was time for our big journey to the ever exciting Paraguay. I heard and read stories about people having a lot of trouble getting across the border with crappy busses that don't want to stop at the border or don't want to let you on. We took the easy way out with a taxi, and before we knew it we were on the bus to Asuncion.
When we arrived in Paraguay, the difference with Brazil became quit clear. The bordertown Ciudad del Este is dirty, noisy, chaotic, with a lot of dirty and poor people.
After a 5 hr. busride we arrived in Asuncion, and the most run down taxi you've ever seen took us to our hotel.
The city is a mix of nice colonial buildings, old torn down houses and big flats. The big advantage here: everything is so cheap! I wanted to get a haircut for a long time, and there are hairdressers on every streetcorner, so I took my change at the most fancy one I could find, The damage? Less than 4 euro's...try that in Amsterdam!
The drink all the kids here drink is something called caña (similar to rum) with cola . A bottle of the bestcañain the supermarket costs less then 1,50. A bottle of Bacardi Limon is less then 5 euro's... I think we're getting drunk tonight!
Allan decided to build a Cartman trap, and stocked up on Cheesy poofs,rumor has it that the stores are closed tomorrow, and we cant run out of cheesy poofs.
