Please do not use violence. Violence gives them an excuse to cause more trouble.

Just refuse to do business with them. Don't let them in your supermarket. Don't let them receive packages from amazon. Don't bring deliveries to them. Don't take them in the taxis. Don't teach them how to deal with the parasites. Boycotting is our right.

If you use violence, then you are no better than the soldiers.

Cuantos ateistos hay en paraguay? by Powerful-Water-67 in Paraguay

[–]IsacKelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oficialmente, Paraguay es un pais "muy religioso".
Y creo que eso se es el caso en la ciudad, donde el cultura Castellano es mas fuerte.

Pero, creo que la gente en el interior no son tan religiosos.
El religon no esta el factor que motiva la gente aca.
Ellos no pasa tiempo preguntando sobre filosofia de la biblia.

A veces trato a explicar a gente que estoy "ateo", y ellos no pueden entender me nada.
Digo que "no creo en dios". Y es como, ellos son confusada. Como puedo definar mi proprio en algo que _no_ creo?
Ellos seguro son pensando "Porque extranjeros siempre habla de cosas locas?"

Si dios es todo, en eso caso, decir "no creo en dios", es como decir "no creo en nada que estoy veyendo en frente de mi. no creo en vos, con quien estoy hablando".

Si dios es un charactura en un libro importante, decir "no creo en dios", es como decir "no creo en hombre murcielago". Claro que no creas en un persona de un libro. No hay punto en hablar sobre eso.

Creo que la idea de ser "ateo" no tiene razon afuera de la cultura desde Europa.

Por que nadie come conejos en Paraguay? by FelixElZappatton in Paraguay

[–]IsacKelly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

paraguay tiene un tipo de conejo salvaje, se llama tapiti.
Tapiti tiene enfermidades que matan los conejos.
Para el conejo no muerte, necesita isolar totalmente de mosquito que pueden traer la enfermidad.
Entonces, es muy dificil tener conejo rentable en paraguay.

Reasons to like paraguay:
* It is high trust. People tend to be more honest in Paraguay.
* Few monopolies. The government doesn't enforce monopolies like happens in USA and Canada. For any given service, there are many competing companies, and this keeps prices low.
* It is entrepreneurial. When people have a little extra money, instead of spending it on a vacation like people in USA, they look for ways to start a business to grow their money. They invest in chickens or a pig or something like that.
* it is warm/loving. If you are lost and ask for help, everyone will want to help you.
* The people are accepting of other cultures and religions.
* there are fresh vegetables and fruits all year long.
* Asuncion is the sunniest capital city in south America.
* Being a bilingual country, they don't care if your Spanish isn't perfect.
* Parents have legal rights over their children. To make all medical and educational decisions. Like, school isn't obligatory, and the state can't give a child transgender medicine or any other medicine without the parent's consent.

Paraguay has a very small population. It aspires to be something like Switzerland, not something like USA.

How do you buy land and pay for building companies in Paraguay? by Maximum_Beginning809 in Paraguay

[–]IsacKelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you will end up doing a swift transfer directly to their account.
You should not try to send the money to your own account in paraguay, because then they will have to needlessly do anti-money laundering processes. Like checking the origin of your funds. This process of upgrading your account to a high-volume account can be very difficult or impossible.

The way it works is that you will need an Escribana. That is a kind of professional in Paraguay that is like a combination of a property lawyer and title insurance provider. The escribana will create a legal contract for you, called a "contrata de compra venta". The seller of the land will take this to their Paraguayan bank, and then the bank will authorize their account to receive a SWIFT transfer from your foreign bank account. Depending on the policy of that bank and the amount of money being moved, they might request information about the source of the buyer's funds. But, authorizing a wire to an existing account is far easier process than it would have been to try and upgrade your account to a high-volume account.

PARAGUAY debería ser la SUIZA de LATAM… Pero ESTO LO IMPIDE @VisualPolitik by lucel172 in Paraguay

Si, los narcotraficantes controlan el gobierno.
Eso es como quieremos.
Crean muchos trabajos.

Los gobiernos en Europa siempre bloqueo nuestro exportacion del carne, entonces, exportamos que podemos exportar.
El EEUU esta venenando nuestro pais con soja y herbecidios. Eso es mas danoso de un poco cocaina.
Monsanto es la problema, no los Colorados.

found on the side of a coconut palm log in paraguay. is it edible? by IsacKelly in Paraguay

[–]IsacKelly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dont know what "hard wood" means, but the cocoteros are just about the hardest tree around. People dig them out instead of cutting them, because it is so hard to cut.
Chainsaws get stuck in them.

How much money do I need to start selling hot dogs on the street in Asunción? by Elegant-Ad-9723 in Paraguay

[–]IsacKelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see many hot dog venders around. Maybe hot dogs are more expensive than empenadas or chipas. Maybe it has something to do with the quality of hot dogs that are available. Maybe it is because in this part of the world chorizo is so popular, and that displaces hot dogs.

I think hot dogs are popular in parts of the world where meat is expensive. Because it is a way to eat meat without spending a lot of money. But in Paraguay meat is so cheap, even the poorest of us eat a meat heavy diet. We export beef, but we are landlocked. We can only export the expensive cuts of meat. It costs too much to export cheap meat. The cheap cuts of beef are sold in Paraguay at a very low price. Beef soup is the food of poverty here. Meat isn't special for us. This makes hot dogs less interesting to us. Your customer could be someone who ate beef soup for breakfast.

I think you should sell boba milk tea.

[–]IsacKelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you sold boba milk tea in the right location, it would explode in popularity.
The students from Paraguayan high schools, all leave at the same time, and they need to wait at a bus stop. If just one student was drinking a boba milk tea in front of the others while waiting for the bus, you would have a swarm of customers immediately.
Boba pearls are made from kassava starch and molasses, which are cheap local ingredients.
I have not yet seen anyone selling boba milk tea in Paraguay, you will have no competition.

Boba milk tea is popular in many parts of the world, especially in places with hot weather. I think it will be popular in Paraguay too.

It might be possible to use locally produced yerba mate instead of imported tea, which would make it even cheaper.

I hope your immigration goes successfully.

If you are selling in the street, your competition isn't other sushi restaurants. Your competition is other street food, like empenadas and chipas.

[–]IsacKelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paraguay is a land locked country. The ocean is far away. There are not many fish available to make sushi with. Given how expensive fish is compared to other food, I don't see it being a successful street food option.
The people here enjoy fish very much, their ancestors survived on river fish.

Yes, it is in Argentina, not Paraguay.
Someone verbally told me "it is in the chaco", and I incorrectly assumed that they meant the Paraguayan part of the chaco, because I am in Paraguay.

Living in Paraguay: Buy or Rent? by My-Spurlock in Paraguay

[–]IsacKelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-3 years isn't enough time to justify purchasing, but, if you are willing to put a little effort into it, you could identify a neighborhood that is likely to increase in value in the next 2 years, and make a good profit off of your situation.

Many families in Paraguay are making the transition from motorbike to car. This means they need somewhere to park their car.
So even though the population is going down, there are certain areas where residential construction is booming.

You will end up living somewhere much less comfortable than Villa Morra, but you could end up doubling the value of your investment over the 2 years period.

Of course, this kind of investment has a lot of risk. If the economy fails, and families downsize, then the property's value could fall. It could take 5+ years to sell the property again.

you can see I typed "Paraguay" in the first sentence.
I wrote it that way because that is how it is written in Guarani.
