    Assuncion

    I was in Paraguay last year. I was aware of the $160.00 visa fee but I didn't that if you buy your vise entrance card when you enter its only good for 120 days. I was told that if purchased before hand at a paraguay consulate office it doesn't expire until your current passport expires. Strange huh.

    Maybe Lugo's "war on corruption" was unpopular with the Senate!

    Clean rooms, turn down service, a great breakfast buffet. I had a problem with the room when the shitter did not work and they fixed it in under an hour and gave me an apology.

    I got a deal on priceline and I only paid 65US a night. It is four stars barely, but by far the nicest hotel in town. The normal rate is around 120US at this time.

    English speaking staff, and free airport transfers. The sheets have a real thread count to them and the king size bed is not two beds pushed together. Nice fluffly bathrobe also.

    I got a free massage also after staying for 3 days. There was no happy ending, it was professional. Trust me I tried. It was a 20$ value according to the price list in the elevator.
    Hi Gato hope you are well.

    I stay there the majority of the times I'm in ASU. Was wondering whether you'd taken a look at the Granados's book and done any of their chicas?

    There is one there by the name of Karen, fake blonde, very interesting, intense girl although will open up more after 1-2 sessions. Lovely looking but maybe 3-4 kilos overweight.

    Cheers

    Better yet get a passport card to carry around. Cheap and a good backup.

    I can 100% assure you that you will not get on a plane pass go or anywhere else unless its on the way home from the airport without a visa its easy to do I posted in this thread about it. Don't forget about cutting in th line they did it so when in rome. Get your photos taken next door not in the states they have to be just a certian size. I found this out the hard way. And yes I know the monger that was sent home from the airport last year with no visa. Paraguayan embassy only accepts USD in cash bring change tooi think it was 45$ when I got mine now I heard is 85$could be wrong.

    Just go visit the Paraguayan Embassy in BA- I think it is 1861 Viamonte.

    They will give 24 hour turnaround service, cost me a little over $100 in January.

    Then my passport was stolen 9pm in Calle Florida. I had a 9am flight to Asuncion the next morning.

    Report at Police Station (Levalle). First an optimistic visit to EZE. Then US Embassy (about 1 hour). Paraguayan Embassy. Another $100. Back to Paraguayan Embassy 2 hours later. Airline office.

    Made it to Asuncion same day!

    I think this is another example of Ineptocracy (definition supplied by Jackson)

    (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy). A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

    In one way or another all governments are grossly incompetent and / or grossly corrupt. Argentina leads the pack. Grossly incompetent and grossly corrupt. Obama seems to be another Christina. But at the end of the day, expecting something good from government is similiar to looking at a donkey and calling it a racehorse.

    And you are right Tim. As far as pussy goes. Paraguay is the best and probably will be the best for a long time . Provided you know where the pussy is in Paraguay.

    Visa requirements for entry to Paraguay

    Websites mention getting visa before travel.

    Is it possible for Americans to get visa on landing in ASU like in BA?

    Over the past year both TACA and COPA have added extensive flights from ASU to Miami with very short layovers in Lima or Panama City. Aerosur has flights from ASU to Miami with a short layover in Santa Cruz but Aerosur can be a disaster with cancelled and late flights. Also TAM has flights from ASU to Miami with a short stop in San Paulo. And there is always the fun ASU to Miami with Aerolineas Argentina with a short stop in Buenos Aires.

    The point is, there is a lot of movement and a lot of wealth in Paraguay. A little country larger than California but with only 6-7 million people. Incredible natural resources and immense hydroelectric power. Most importantly, a population that never was subjected to the Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Christina or Morales class warfare baloney. This people are astute, get up early and work hard. Nobody is looking for a handout.
