Asunción, Paraguay

[Exon123]

What was the round trip Airfare from Buenos Aires?

From all the reports I've heard from the likes of El Alamo & Rock Harders it sounds like a good investment to spend a couple nights up there.

Also what did it cost and how long did it take You to get your Visa and can you get it on Las Harris in Recoleta?

Their monthly salary was about 400K - 500K Guarani a month! Around $80 US!

Thats also the standard monthly salary of full time maids in New Delhi, San Salvador & Bangkok.

Just my 2 cents.

Nice Post Tequila. I'm glad to see you are enjoying Paraguay so far, so it seems. I actually prefer Asuncion to Buenos Aires, but must admit that I'm a countryboy at heart and the big city is sometimes too much for me. Certainly Asuncion isn't for everyone. I think the people there are wonderful and they have always treated me quite well.

Just a couple of minor comments.

Chipa is actually made of mandioca flour. It has a pretty distinct taste and can be quite good (or really dry and hard!

An aside - What you payed for an hour, many skill-less Paraguayas there in Asuncion may take a week to make. I know personally 5 different women who all used to work in Asuncion as maids. They are worked hard and typically mistreated by the "rich" employers (I think they were actually closer to middle class in their cases) Their monthly salary was about 400K - 500K Guarani a month! Around $80 US!

Tequila Tim,

Excellent report. Please keep us updated.

My 1st impression of Asuncion (ASU) from the airplane as our plane was landing was that this place is GREEN. Lush, fertile, and HOT (my 2nd impression after departing the plane) 90 degrees and humid. Customs was a breeze (remember gringos need a visa) and before long we were flush with starter garani at an exchange rate of 4760/$US (not too bad after later comparing rates downtown)

We decided on a taxi (90K garini) despite knowing that a bus would take us to centro for much less. The ride in was a bit longer than I expected, around 30 minutes, but the taxi driver explained he was taking the local roads to avoid traffic. My 1st impressions: definitely a poor country but there was a distict vitality here. Lots of new residencial construction. The streets were for the most part clean and lots of chicas walking about. The cab driver confirmed my observations as he mentioned that there are 6 chicas / hombre in ASU. I don't know if I believe him but certainly at this point I have no reason to doubt him!

We arrived at our hotel, the Asuncio Palace Hotel on Colon Street. My associate and I decided to stay at this hotel based on favorable web reviews. On the outside it appears a bit dated but we were pleasantly surprised by the rooms. Spacious, clean and very comfortable at a price of $45US per double (so we could bring visitors).

After checking in we wandered about town, definitely not a tourist destination, the streets were very quiet. We eventually wandered to Deseos at 1008 14 de Mayo for some recreational activity and were presented with 4 chicas. My associate chose Ivana (a quite doable Amazonian flacita while I chose Joana, a cute rubia with a bunda that wouldn't quit (more about her bunda later). 120K guarini / hour, completo for 25 bucks! The session was unrushed, great rapport, and yes, the colita offered (and accepted). There was no short timing here. After what seemed an hour and a half I told Joana to check to see if my associate was done and she confirmed he was. Wow, nice change from the short timing in BA.

After our sessions we took a cab over to Calle Palma for some nourishment and quickly found a place where a bunch of locals were dining outside (it was very nice outside at this time). The place we chose was Na Eustaquia on 437 Palma and we dined on muchos chipas (a corn based shell with various stuffings) empanadas, beer, and aqua for 44.5K (8 or 9 bucks).

We then started back to the hotel (I wanted to catch the Ravens game in my room). 2 blocks from our hotel we heard loud music at a place called La Choperia on Colon and decided to check it out. A live band was playing outside the resturant and we enjoyed some beer and water for an hour or so for 15K guarani. My associate and I both noted how down to earth the Paraguayian chicas presented themselves. Dancing and swaying with the music without a purpose. Lots of lookers here and the waiter told me that they have the live music every night until midnight. Alas, we left at 11 to watch the 2nd half of the glorious Raven victory over the hapless Brownie Scouts and agreed that this town has potential.

More details to follow.

It's been years since I've visited Asuncion. I used to have "low friends in high places" in that town. My first visit not only restored my hope for my manhood - it provided the proudest moment of my life.

23 June 2004, at the Direccion del Servicio Geografico Militar. The last day of my course on Aeronautical Cartography, teaching their people to make aeronautical charts (I don't know if they ever did. The graduation ceremony, and it's a big deal for Coronel V. He asked the Brigade band, from across Avenida Artigas, to play martial music for the ceremony.

They started, of course, with Paraguay's national anthem, and I "stood to" with my hand over my heart, as proper for me in civvie suit and tie.

Followed by:

The Star-Spangled Banner!

There is one (count me, one) American government representative this side of 1776 Avenida Mariscal Lopez.

How could I take it but ... To honor the Nation that sent me, yes, but also to honor me personally as my Nation's representative.

The honor still brings tears to my eyes, five years later.

And they played us out with "The Stars & Stripes Forever".

I'm here in Asuncion with my girlfriend who can't stand me.

This morning I sent her off with a real estate agent to look at houses.

This is the good part. My favorite privado, which used to be called A & C Productions simply changed their name to Gira Productions. They are located on 1241 or 1243 14 de Mayo.

Went there early afternoon. Four girls were presented. 3 of them ranged from very, very cute to gorgeous. I picked the 2 friendliest for one half hour each, separate, not together. They were both 18 years old. That cost $60,000 guarani each for a total of $120,000 guarani I. E $25 US$ total.

Being an alumni of the Rock Harders Graduate School of Bareback Sex **motto: If you are not doing it bareback it's not worth doing ** I did both of them bareback.

For a total of $320,000 guarani ($100,000 propina each to lose the $%&* condom) I was in heavon. $320,000 guarani is about $65 US.

I love this town. Can't wait until my girlfriend finds a house so I can live here.

Forgot one thing. The first girl said she was only going to work until January. I asked for her phone number so I could continue to see her after she leaves the privado. As I was leaving she handed me a card with her phone number on it.

So one goes to a privado twice a day, if one is lucky (young) three times a day, that is 2-3 hours out of the day. What does one do in Asuncion for the rest of the 14 hour of the day (assuming 8 hours of sleep) Is there entertainment, cultural, social activities there like BA?

There's a pretty interesting little book called, "At The Tomb Of The Inflatable Pig," by John Gimlette, that you might consider reading before you go there.

Next week I am returning to Asuncion for 4 days with my girlfriend which means no privados, or not many privados, for me. However, I like Asuncion a lot.

There is a barrio called Carmelito which is next to Villa Morra. Carmelito is as affluent as Greenwich, Connecticut used to be.

You can rent a huge house, with a huge tropically landscaped yard, huge swimming pool and tennis court for $2000 to $3000 US dollars a month. Sure beats a crappy little apartment in Buenos Aires for $1000 to $2000 a month, especially in July when you are freezing your ass off in Buenos Aires and Asuncion has subtropical tempatures.

It's a small place for 3-5 days at the most.

One day that was a public holiday on a Saturday we hired a taxi for about 300.000 Guarani and he took us for a 7hr ride to some small cities around Asuncion. Some of them on January are full of people on holidays. They are on the river side with beaches. When we went it was out of season so they were empty of people. The beaches I mean.

Read the Asuncion forum on ISG. Plenty of info there and privado list as well.

I have written PM's to a couple people listing my favorite privados in Asuncion.

Jackson's website International Sex Guide has a long list combiled by WorldTraveler.

Unless you are Superman you will never be able to test drive all of the privados in Asuncion.

Downtown my favorite privados are.

Diana Escorts 217 Cerro Cora.

P & E 462 Cerro Cora new addresss.

Deseos Agency 1008 or 1012 14 de Mayo.

Sigma Mia Mexico 451

A few blocks away I like.

Hot Girl Eusebio Ayala 326 apt 1

The lineup of girls is always changing. You never know who will have the hottest girls.

The other thing is that the hottest girls are most likely to be occupied and not available for viewing. If you don't like what you see you can always wait until the girls that are occupied finish with their clientes.

If you do it right, Asuncion has incredible talent in their privados.

What you do the other 20 hours of the day is up to you. Not being a night person the lack of clubs does not bother me. During the daytime walking arround Asuncion reminds me of when I used to walk arround Mazatlan or Puerta Villarta (spelling) on the west coast of Mexico. Very relaxing

[AmorNL]

Can any one give me any infor about the privados in Asuncion?

Thanks!

I am a big fan of Asuncion. Like every city there are upper end privados and not so upper end privados.

The most upper end privado in Asuncion will cost 100,000 guaranis an hour which is now about $20US.

There are a a few differences between the privados in Asuncion and the privados in Buenos Aires. In Asuncion when you pay for 1 hour, you will receive 1 hour. Often times they have a clock in the room.

As almost anyone can tell you, in Buenos Aires you are lucky if you receive 40 minutes for your hour.

The other thing is that the girls in the privados in Asuncion are generally younger. The average age of the girls in the better privados in Asuncion is probably close to 20.

As far as appearance goes, a cute girl is a cute girl and the girls in a good privado in Asuncion can compare to the cutest girls in any privado in Buenos Aires.

But just like Buenos Aires, it will take a week or two to figure out the privado scene in Asuncion. Once you are familiar with the different privados in Asuncion you will probably think like me I. E. You are in heaven.

Some people like to meet girls in places like Madaho or Black. Those places do not exist in Asuncion. Asuncion is almost entirely a privado scene

I went there in August because I wanted to soak up the atmosphere of Lugo's swearing ceremony (it was good, by the way) And it was nice to have a bit of heat after invierno in BA.

Chicas? Well, not so much. I saw a few, in some run-down semi. Cafe type places with grotty rooms at the back. 100K Guaranís was the cost, and that was not a decent deal at the time. Presumably if there was good info to be had, better chicas and clubs would have been available. Maybe others have had better luck. I have a photo of the best gal I met, if anyone's interested I will try and find it.
