About our stone roads, they are the best to drain water during heavy rains, also they make the neighborhoods "tranquilos" with less traffic so people are forced ON PURPOSE to slow down and we love that. We adore our stone roads, especially around residential neighborhoods - we don't care if they aren't "first world" standard, sorry not sorry. 😬😀 Just slow down. 😉

@jgonz260 4 ай бұрын

Agree. These stone roads (calles empedradas) encourage other drivers to take other asphalted roads, leaving the neighborhoods alone with much less traffic,

The Paraguay summer is much like the Texas/Southern US summer ... hot and humid. Four months out of the year it's very hot and humid but the other eight months the climate is very nice in Paraguay.

@jgonz260 4 ай бұрын

The Texas summer in Houston and the Gulf Coast in my opinion is actually more unbearable than the Paraguayan summer because the humidity in Texas is worse,

So similar to Miami?

Whew, where do people escape to from November to March? Many of us would never be able to handle high heat and humidity anywhere, even in the US. How do people live 24/7 in air conditioning??

About the loud talking, you're right - you're very perceptive, we hate it 😂. In the case of argentinians those who speak like that are the "porteños" from Buenos Aires (most turn it down over the time if they stay long - otherwise they get mercilessly "bullied" by us 😂 ), people from the other provincias are like us - they speak normally without yelling. Some exceptions are acceptable: in the local markets like in "Mercado 4" you'll hear sellers speaking louder trying to catch your attention, also at the "canchas de fútbol" (soccer fields) for obvious reasons and the concerts. I'm surprised how perceptive you are, most foreigners just pass by carrying with them their prejudices as the ultimate truth without getting to know us. And yes, it's important to learn at least Spanish, and people are open to help if you don't understand something. Never impose your language to the locals (if you're lucky you'll find some who speak three or four languages and may speak to you in yours); angloamericans are worldwide known to expect everyone to speak English - don't do that if you want to be loved and cared by the locals. 😀 Saludos.

Thank you, Helena. 🙂 What are some other things foreigners should be aware of in Paraguay?

@MrBCWalker01 4 ай бұрын

Maybe someone local can answer this: how accessible it is for those in a wheelchair or similarly impaired (i.e. walking on prosthetics)?

As for stone roads, I have driven on one in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but it has also been maintained very well. I have driven on "unpaved" roads in Michigan, but most also seem to be smoothed out very well although you still need to be careful of the occasional dip. As for speech volume, Paraguayans would fit really well speech-style-wise into Sendai, Japan. Residents there also speak at a lower volume.

I had lived in Bangkok for 4 months and traveled SE Asia an additional 3 months, so if I can take Bangkok heat I’m guessing Asunción will be no problem.

You will be fine. Air pollution is much worse in Bangkok.

How do expats adjust to the summer humidity and heat? Is there humidity without an ocean? How is the weather between March and December before the summertime?

@NomadElite 4 ай бұрын

There sure can be humidity without the ocean. You adjust gradually; it really depends on what you've been accustomed to. Paraguay is home to a very unique climate; it's hard to describe. There's no real winter here. It's mostly hot, but some months can be on the cooler side of things, with daily temperatures hanging out between 18 - 27 degrees.

I had to laugh when you brought up the Paraguayan cultural norm of speaking more softly, not loudly. Unfortunately, American (U.S.) citizens (of course, not all) have the notorious reputation of being loudmouths. I've heard this complaint whenever I've lived or traveled abroad, especially in Northern Europe. I'm glad you addressed this issue.

Ouch! Yes, Paraguayans speak very respectfully, and rarely do they yell.
