There are a lot of upscale malls in the suburbs. Kilkennys is in a mall called Las Carmelitas. It is off Aveinda Espana about a 30, 000 guarani (6 dollar) taxi from downtown.
It is completely different from Kilkenny's in Buenos Aires. Kilkenny's in Asuncion is very upscale. The neighborhood is very upscale. The girls are dressed to the hilt. They keep the riff-raff out with a huge cover charge.
The reason these girls dress to the hilt is because they are hot and they know it. Also, sex is just fun for them. It is part of the culture. No hang ups. Great for you. Not so great for their boyfriends.
The moral here is - learn to speak Spanish or be sure to have that $100 George Washington taped to your forehead
However, there are a lot, and I mean a lot, of upscale bar / discos in asuncion that most tourists don't know exist.

Posts: 145Sorry for asking
I'll expect that you post the same very original and funny link everytime someone asks a question.
Good way to treat customers as well.

Posts: 705There is a lot of wealth in Paraguay. There also are a lot of people who are just getting by.
This apparent inequality is not the result of out of control capitalism. It is gracias al gobierno. Most of the wealth in Paraguay is somehow connected to the government. The government has used the wealth of Paraguay as a personal piggybank for centuries. The wealth is not concentrated in the hands of greedy entrepreneurs. It is concentrated in those who are or have been in control of the government.
And guess what. These governmental thugs have no intention of sharing their piggybank with the people who are suffering.
So much for a partnership between the private sector and the government.

Posts: 705I don't know what the franchise structure of Kilkennys is, but yes, it is bar like Kilkenny's in Buenos Aires, but much more upscale. It is not a ripoff of the name.
Most of the Disco / bars's in Asuncion are home grown. Owned and operated locally. And extremely profitable.
One of the places called Faces was fined $100, 000 US dollars for some safety violation. The owner just laughed. He said he made that in one weekend.

Posts: 705That type of thing might work in the suburbs. The suburbs already have a lot of US franchises such as McDonalds, Burger Kings, Hooters, TGIF (Fridays) , Pizza Huts, Kilkenny's etc and some upscale malls. The suburbs have a lot of money.
Downtown or Centro has none of those franchises. Downtown has a million little mom and pop restaurantes. Lunches cost 2 or 3 dollars in these places. Not many of them are open for dinner. Centro gets pretty deserted after the sun goes down. Probably much like Microcentro in Buenos Aires.
Centro is pretty interesting during the daytime. Again much like Microcentro in Buenos Aires. Lots of shops, lots of people, lots of small resturantes, lots of traffic. About the only thing to do in Centro at night is checking out the streetwalkers.
P.S. another example would be the supermarkets. The suburbs have a lot of supermarkets, like S6 or Espana, that are huge, new and would put a Walmart or Target to shame. Centro does not have a single large, modern supemercado. Maybe because of lack of space. There are no open spaces in Centro and all the land is historically protected.

Posts: 1099Somehow I enjoy discussing Asuncion here more than at ISG.
Though WT is right. Reports should be posted at ISG but I see no harm in posting a duplicate report here as well for the AP community, most of us who know each other well.
