General Info

my personal thoughts after a week asuncion is that they seem to be very shy and timid. i do speak decent spanish and i am not afraid to talk to any chica on the street or whateva.

paraguay is not to be compared with the open style of type of women you will find in the dr, colombia or brasil. so beware! and for the 45 th time. make sure you speak spanish! up till now i did not find any girl that speaks decent english. and if they do. well it's kindda sort like mickey mouse english. me hungry. can eat pizza? ok? shit like that. so don'çt expect a high class conversation here! unless ofcourse you meet the one odd translator or english teacher.

chicas walk arround everywere. in the malls you find you regurlar type of mini-golddigger (as i call them) which can be in for a treat. but you have to pay up for everything.

all in all most men here prefer hookers (and who can blame them!). as they are way cheaper in the long run then any normal regular woman here!

[blue][deleted by admin][/blue]! btw most girls do look older. so don't worry. they older they get (above 35) they more nastier they are. and even if you pay all shit se. xo is not guaranteed.

[blue][deleted by admin][/blue]. i am sick and tired of that " you gringo. you pay. and no get sexo thing". lol fuck that crap. who the fuck these women think i am? some stupid asshole or what?

if you go outside asuncion it's a whole other thing!

keep you guys posted. if any of you wanna meet up. just pm me or send me an email.

Is it safe to visit Paraguay on your own? Can you walk around freely at night with little or no worries? How is it compared to other countries?

[QUOTE=Manuneed]Is it safe to visit Paraguay on your own? Can you walk around freely at night with little or no worries? How is it compared to other countries? [/QUOTE]It all depends on WERE you want to go.

I walked many times alone through Asuncion at night and NEVER felt unsafe. (leave the Rolex at home. Though and no flashy expensive cell phones)

There are not too many areas were you shouldn't go. Asuncion is very laid back and I never was bothered by streethussler or the likes. Except maybe if you look too gringo-like and walk down town at daylight. Just say "no gracias"if somebody wants to sell you something and they'll walk on.

In the malls there is plenty of securtity so no worries. Bathrooms are all clean.

If you go out in the country side make sure you bring insekt repellant and condoms. (bring a role of toilet paper couldn'; t hurt either LOL)Never ever drink the tapwater. Unless you want to spend the next 3-4 days on the can. Also watch out with eating food from streetjoints.

Look out when taking a bus in Asuncion. They drive like hell and only stop for a short moment if you want to get off. After 20. 00 I wouldn't take any buis but grab a cab instead. Intercity busses are OK and cheap. From the Busterminal in Asuncion you can go to almost everywere in all of PY and beyond.

And make sure you know some spanish. In the countryside many people speak Guarani. But they all understand spanish.

If you come to Paraguay, bring lots of cash so you won't have to use the ATM machines. Paraguay banks earn the highest profit percentage of any banks in the world. They are outright thieves. They generally pay < 1% for deposits and charge from 27% to 50% for loans. For all of you pure capitalism proponents, you should love Paraguay. The government does nothing to help the citizens, and generally leads the stealing.

The banks have decreased the amount that can be withdrawn with a single transaction to $US200 with a $US5 ATM fee, or G1,000,000(about $200 currently) with a G25,000 fee. That is effectively 2.5%. This started about January 6.

How bad can this get? If you come to Paraguay with a Wells Feego card(and B of A and Chase are similar), the charges can be like this to extract $200 or G1,000,000:

Issuing bank: Foreign ATM Fee)------------$5.00
Issuing bank: Foreign Transaction Fee 3%--$6.00
Visa/MC Network 1% Currency Conversion---$2.00
Operating Bank ATM Usage Fee-------------$5.00

Total to Extract $200---------------------- $18.00 or 9%

They say you are permitted to have either 4 or 5 transactions per day(I forget which), up to the card limit at the issuing bank.

At Lexton:

I agree PY banks are ladrones. When I was there at EVERY bank they charge me 25. 000 G for a withdrawl! Thats about (at that time when I was there in sept/oct 2008) 4, 30 euros! Besides that many banks in Holland or germany charge you 2 euros for a withdrawl in any non-EU bank. So that adds up to 6, 30 euros for each withdrawl! (=8 usd! )

In Germany you have the DKB (Deutsche Kredit Bank) and they offer FREE cash withdrawls all over the world. Offcourse I had to pay the 25. 000 G. With their VISA Card. BUT when I wrote a complaint to them by email they refunded every time ihad to pay the 25. 000 G. ! I don't know if you cvan open an account at DKB. Maybe it's worth while ane mail to them?

[url]http://dkb.d/[/url] As I see it only availeble in German?

Normaly getting cash at an ATM with a VISA card is rather costly. So I don't know if there are banks in the US or Canada that offer FREE worldwide withdrawls? The pain is that the 25. 000 G is being charged by the PY banks. ! So keep that in mind.

Indeed I agree the PY banks are outrageous thieves and their rates are ridiculously high.

If you want to live in PY and want to open a bankaccount they even assk more things from you then the Visa office of Migraciones!

For the regular girls it's depend of you, your ability to catch a girl, but for me I see it easier than in Europe. Strip club I don't know so much, there is Playboy in the center but it's pathetic, I don't know if Karim strip club is still open, but it's not bette than playboy, maybe Le bacan, there is live show but I never been there. For ***** houses it's other things, there is a lot and you will find beautiful girl for very low prices. If you want to go out of Asuncion, for visit it's good but for girl action not so much. In Cuidad del Este you can cross the border to Brazil where there is lot much to do.

I found a very cool list that someone posted online and I wanted to share it.

I'd might want to add the "mi ranchito bar"to this list.

Its a nice quite retro bar with video clips. The volum is not as high as in most diskos so you can have a normal conversation without shouting in your ears!

It's on Mariscal Lopez. Very near to the Townhall of Asuncion. Every taxidriver knows were that is. Arround the corner is a taxistand. Keep in mind that during weekends at night the price for cabs are 10% more expensive.

Drinks are cheap. And the lomitos/hamburgers too. And good.

However bring your girl. As here normaly are more men inside then women. However once in a while a straykitten van be found.

Have fun.

Hi Johan,

Can you describe the process of buying a house in Paraguay? How did it go for you?

All Info you need.

Bring on a Corvette ZR1 and u will pick up all the regulars.

Hey there,

I am in Asuncion from 12.11.09. I'm German and it's not the first time I am there. I was there, because I had a beautifull time there with a girl. But I know Asu is boring and want a companion for a little time. I'm 44 years old and speak just a little spanish. Maybe I can have some contact with German-speaking people.

Thanks for the first.

For starters you need to know spanish. If not changes are big you get f&cked over.

Second find a trustworthy escribano (thats a public notary).

Third let that escribano check onforhand if there are any debts on the name of the current owner. If you do not do this change is great after you own the house you have to pay his/her debts! Otherwise you never get the titulo (= the paper on which is stated you are the legal owner).

Normal costs for the legal proces is on charge on the buyer. And is about 5 % of the value of the house. However many escribanos are willing to "change"the selling price. Ie lower that price so you have to pay less for their services.

Normaly if should take 4-6 weeks if you get the titulo on your name. Anything else that takes much longer is fishy. Some germans I know waited 4 months on their titulo. Needles to say they got f%cked over. Because they don't know spanish and they buy from german real estate brokers whoch do not have a very good reputation here!

Other rule is. If some house/piece of land is very cheap its usualy too good to be true and therefor not. So beware. Real estate can be very pricy especialy in la capital asuncion.!

For further questions pm me.
