    I lived in Paraguay from age 6 to 9. Decades later I still miss it. Believe it or not. After that I have lived in different countries. None has been as good as Paraguay.

    Hey there Brother Great Video. Currently, Living in Jamaica. But i am Moving to Paraguay soon. Paraguay will be my main home and Jamaica my favourite place aha. About the humidity, 38 is excellent. It gives you a chance to sweat. Enjoy the detox - in Japan and Korea, the humidity goes up to 100 percent, and at higher temperatures too. This means there is so much moisture in the air that people can't sweat. It's not uncommon for even the locals to go to hospital for the drip therapy to cool down in the summer. Anyways thanks again and one Love to the people. 🎉

    Calm is a hallmark of Paraguay. Lived there for about 20 months, 6 in Fernando de la Mora and now Encarnacion. Sorry you arrived just in time for the hot season. Normally, folks get to work VERY early and finish before noon, so they aren't in the heat. People who work retail can't do this but they usually have AC. If you get outside of Asunción, it's even more chill with better infrastructure in some cities such as Encarnación. Also notably cheaper. As an American I've always felt like clothes or attitude are the only things that will tip a Paraguayo off that you are a foreigner. Until you speak of course. :)

    The hot weather is from NOV-DEC until March or so. In the winter, at around July it can be cold in the 40’s and 50’s but not consistently. In the South near Encarnación is even colder reaching almost freezing on certain days,

Quality of products are very low,not much variety when it comes to fruits and vegetables. In many cases it is more expensive than in europe with worse quality. Foget bout finding a job(minimum wage is around 15€ a day) Like i said,people are very nice and friendly,weather is very nice and it feels quite safe. Probably will leave sometime next year.

    Yes, it's really hot here but most of us are already used to it, for some of us 25°C is "chilly" 😂. By the way, that's why most of us prefer Brazilian beaches (near where the Capricorn tropic passes as well) for holidays than Argentina's which for our heat standard are "freezing". The northern region that we call Chaco paraguayo or Chaco Boreal is even hotter - and there are brave people living and working there. 🌵🌴☀️✨

    Always a potential risk, especially in areas with rivers or standing water. Some places at higher risk for them have great mosquito control but insect repellent is recommended. Neither dengue nor chikungunya have high fatality rates but are both literally painful while you have it.
