First Impressions Living In Asuncion Paraguay 2024 🇵🇾 

thanks for the tips!

thanks man

You clearly dont' travel much!! I have gone to 105 countries and that is a crazy statement

@@duncanwierman if you have gone to 105 countries doesn’t mean you are right. I have been in more than 105 countries

@rob_kay lol to each his own. I dont have to live cheap and in places that don't work for me. There are way better places.. and no way is it the best

@@duncanwierman I’m not saying you should live cheap, but definitely there are plenty of worst places in the world, specially in relation to food, meat, fruit and veggies, even here in the US

You’re welcome. I cook everyday, don’t eat out much. Bus is around 1,400 to 3,600 guaraníes depending on the bus quality and route, you need a bus card, no credit debit or cash accepted. Never but I’ll put it in my list to check out!

Never been to Texas but I'd say Paraguay is a hot place in general, May through July gets cold as I've recently been told

@@FutureFlyness10°C/50°F tends to be the absolute coldest it gets here during the winter months (late June and July) but if you’re coming from a colder climate I think you can handle it. When I first came back after my first time living abroad (Flanders) I had a reverse culture shock moment seeing my friends completely covered up when it was only 15°C/60°F.

Gym, naps lol

@@FutureFlyness bet I feel you lol

@@FutureFlyness Would be good if you could do a vid on the gyms in Asuncion.

Both

thanks for the insight, I've been to CDE but ill check out Encarnacion soon

@@FutureFlyness hope you having a good time so far, stay safe dude

Gracias 😁

Moovit

Spanish for sure. Guarani isn’t necessary since most people speak Spanish too

lets say he made it more popular haha

No vengan. No necesitamos

​​@@carmeloquenhan7080 ellos salen de sus países donde es ya casi inviable vivir por los altos costos y piensan que al venir a un país 10 o más veces pequeño que el de ellos van a encontrar un paraíso donde vivirán cómodamente 😂 que vayan a México o Argentina y no vengan a molestar a los Paraguayos que de por sí la tenemos difícil!

@duncanwierman @FutureFlyness You are both right, it is boring for superficial people who ignore all the culture and history of Paraguay. It is better that they look for a place more in line with their superficial interests.

@@Spiral_Arch I have clearly evaluated the country for Retirment and Lifestyle. Your backhanded insult is not needed. The comments will only show others what the people of Paraguay are like, so why not knock it off. Great documentation this has become for the major magazine article now.

@@duncanwierman Calling you superficial is not an insult, it is simply a description of what is perceived from your comment that does not have a shred of evidence to support it, except the fact of "having faith in your word."

This comment is clearly made by someone who did not know even 1% of the country. I met hundreds of foreigners living in Paraguay, and they all agree that the meat is top-notch, if you at least take a tour to know where to go or not, it's just that the typical foods have a lot of saturated fats. And they complained about the streets in some regions, as well as the bureaucracy for certain documentation, but other than that there were practically no complaints. The few who spoke badly like you do were clearly bitter people.

@@sirlion996 I am not a bitter person. I am a travel writer. I wish I could say lovely things for anyone who wants to go retire there, but I cannot. I found it run down, the food of poor quality, and the weather is miserable. There is not a vibe of "happening" city. Its a very chill country. Some people like to leave cheaply and not much going on.. but when you have Argentina next door, its a much better choice.

​@@duncanwiermanIt doesn't matter if you are a writer dedicated to travel. I understand your point that you have become bored, given that you have not seen even 1% of the country, and even if you already have the prejudice that fun is synonymous with constant, very busy activity everywhere. The good thing is that foreigners who have that opinion are a tiny percentage and they do know how to appreciate the good things about the country. For this reason, I am grateful that you have decided not to return and that the people who really want to get to know the country in the first place are more friendly and with the intention of really getting to know the people (like other authentic travelers on this platform who did manage to do so). , and not have such a biased mentality, believing that they know too much about the subject when they only express extreme ignorance for not knowing in its real dimension a country so culturally rich and with friendly people who treat you like a family member, feeding you their exquisite meals like It happens very often in Paraguay.

I have seen more than 1% lol. I think that people should know both sides of the story. It is certainly not what it is made out to be

@@sirlion996 I gave a very fair review of the country. I am sorry that you are upset by it, but people should know its not all roses. I have to laugh that you resort to name calling and put downs because someone does not agree with you.
