Does anyone know anything about this country? I need information such as 'Common Foods, Tourist Attractions, Exports..' etc.
Answer:Paraguay's really a hidden gem. In terms of food, chipas, empanadas, and sopa paraguaya are a few that come to mind. Meals are an important cultural aspect--they're taken as a family. The main tourist attraction is probably the Iguazu Falls on the border of Brasil (Ciudad del Este in Paraguay, Foz de Iguacu in Brasil). World's largest hydroelectric dam, and a beautiful series of waterfalls. Plus, monkeys. The entire Chaco region doesn't have much going on, to be honest. There are a few wildlife reserves. From a tourist standpoint, historical sites from the Chaco War and the War of the Triple Alliance might be worth seeing. If you're into history. Otherwise, catch a soccer game. Paraguay won the football silver medal in the 2004 summer Olympics (losing to neighbors and rivals Argentina). The two big club teams in Paraguay are Cerro Porteno and Olimpia. Exports-wise, it's mostly agricultural exports. Meat, leather, wood. Also, some electricity is exported courtesy of the hydroelectric dam. Paraguay has two national languages: Spanish and Guarani. Guarani is widely spoken, and taught--in fact, there are large regions where it is the lingua franca. Even the city-slickers know it (with varying degrees of proficiency), and everyone knows how to throw a Guarani curse or two. One of the most prominent cultural items is terere. A traditional tea-like drink consumed from a 'guampa' through a special straw (bombilla), it is consumed absolutely everywhere. Bus and taxi drivers will pour, share, and drink terere with both hands while cruising down the road. It's nice and refreshing, especially in the hot Paraguayan sun. There was a book written about Paraguay not too long aho; I think it was called "At the Tomb of The Inflatable Pig". Might be worth a read, if you're really interested. For more statistical information, search for the "CIA World Factbook on Paraguay" online.
Where could I find out more information on what I need to do, what i need to have, ect. in order to become a permanent resident of Paraguay?
Answer:Visit the closest Paraguayan Consular location (depending on your country of residence) for counsel, forms and payments. You must have a valid Passport, birth certificate and bank statements to prove solvency (at least $5,000). The Agents at the Consulate will conduct a brief survey about your intentions (work, business, relocation, etc) Other required documents may include Court/Police certificate of criminal records, Health certificate, proof of Real Estate ownership, etc. Good luck!
I would like to find food and ingredients from Paraguay in the United States. Please, let me know of stores or web sites.
Answer:what type of food are you looking for exactly? It may be very difficult to find such a specialized market in the US or online, you may try markets or websites that specialize in broader south american cuisines. You will find better luck.
This summer, I am going to Paraguari, Paraguay. To anyone who has lived or been there: what kind of clothing should I bring? Is is cold and rainy and do I need rainboots or anything? Thanks.
Answer:Beware: this summer may be Paraguay's winter. Even though Paraguay is well known for its extremely hot temperatures, cold days are short but dense, going down to 40 degrees. Rainfalls are constant during the winter. Rain boots would be ok but you'll look like an alien.
