General Info

[QUOTE=El Greco]Thanks for the info Lexton.

They even used a "fixed" calculator once in Bali Indonesia with me. Hopefully I was trying to change a $100 bill and it was easy to understand their scam.
I only use my own calculator since then.

Will be in ASU from FEB 28th till MAR 5th together with Mediboy.
Will be glad to offer beers. Will be stayng at the CITY hotel. Any objections to that?

Meanwhile can you please suggest some kind of activities/excursion for MAR 1st and 2nd? I understand it is a holiday there.

Thanks

El Greco[/QUOTE]Hey Greco,

I'll be in Paraguay from the 28th to March 3rd, maybe we'll bump into each other! I'm staying at the Manduara hotel ([url]http://www.manduara.com.py/[/url]), I've heard good things about the nightlife in Asunción, so I'm looking forward to that...

Lexton thanks for the info!

I'm trying to figure out the attraction.

Of what? Going to Paraguay? Two reasons to go there: 1) because it's there; 2) an abundance of inexpensive pussy. BTW, I've also been to Pyongyang. :)

Have you ever been to South America mate? Have you ever banged a "chica"?
Especially one from Paraguay?

Lots of them in Buenos Aires giving the best PSE there. Everything goes.

Plus another pin to my map while alternating between chicas and garotas.

Give us a call. Ask for the two bloody Greeks.

Your hotel looks very nice. If we don't like ours we might come over although twice the price.

El Greco[/QUOTE]Oh man, I better come up with a good excuse/story to call the hotel and ask for "mis dos amigos griegos" :)

Guys,

Do you think this is something to worry about?

Should I get the vaccine before my trip? (sorry if my questions are a little stupid)

Thanks everyone!

I had been following this story myself. My thinking was, I'll see how news develops over the next few days- and if cases appear in Asuncion I'd get the vaccine. Well this article dated Feb 29:
[url]http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/RWB.NSF/db900SID/ASIN-7CAMYZ?OpenDocument[/url]
appears to indicate confirmed cases not just in rural areas, but inside Asuncion itself.
So, I'm getting the vaccine. If you haven't already, get alot of bug spray!

Well Ferando Lugo wun the general elections. And for the first time in 61 years the Colorado party does NOT get the majority of the votes.

Lets wait and see how this is going to turn out. Lugo seems buddies with el Loco Chavez from Venezuela. But maybe he is just a moderate socialist like what we see in Chile, Argentina, Brasil and Uruguay so things could turn out OK for the country.

Lets face it guys. Any worse then the Colorado party it coulnt'get! I mean these bastards have sucked out the Country for so many years. So lets give that Lugo guy some slack.

Can anybody tell me if one can get a tourist visa upon entry to Paraguay upon arriving with a valid US passport?

[QUOTE=LongMarch]Can anybody tell me if one can get a tourist visa upon entry to Paraguay upon arriving with a valid US passport?[/QUOTE]It is my understanding that Paraguay requires a visa for US citizens, but also for many other (but not all) countries.

Pictures and money and your original passport (which should be valid for at least another six months) and a few other items are required. The embassy's web page has the details.

I wish I could go soon. Enjoy your trip.

Since links may not be allowed here, run "Paraguay Embassy USA" through a search engine. Paraguay has an Embassy in Washington, DC, and a consular office in Los Angeles.

To complete my answer to your question about visas, you will need all the documentation listed on the embassy's web site regardless of where you want to get your visa, actually at the border or before you leave the US.

[QUOTE=LongMarch]Can anybody tell me if one can get a tourist visa upon entry to Paraguay upon arriving with a valid US passport?[/QUOTE]NO. You have to get a visa prior to your arrival. You can get in the US, or in Buenos Aires if you are going there.

Can't believe that this hasn't been reported yet, but have any of you checked out Leryn Franco, the drop dead gorgeous javelin thrower in the Olympics?

If all the Paraguayan women looked like her, I'm so there!

She finished 7th out of 8 place, but that still makes her the 7th best female javelin thrower in the world. Google her name for more pix, including near nudies.

It was reported today that she's dating tennis player Novak Djokavic and they met at the olympics.
