I went to Asuncion Paraguay for one day. It was on a weekend and the quietest emptiest and smallest city have ever been to. I walked by three movie theaters that were closed. It was a lot more developed than Georgetown and Paramaribo. I went to a park that was on the north and took a photo of the downtown area next to the very quiet river that is the border with Argentina. There I went to a coffee shop and was talking to a young German artisan girl who was traveling with her Peruvian artisan boyfriend and she met some of the German Mennonites who live there and couldn't understand anything that they were saying. The next day I took the bus across the country to a town called Ciudad del Este and got a room and the next day visited the Foz del Iguazu. They were interesting. there was a trail that lead down to a bunch of lookouts and went into an area that was between the upper and lower levels of the falls and then went to a tourist restaurant-store and went back up to the road where buses take people back. I had to stay in Ciudad del Este for a whole day because the buses didn't leave until Monday. Ciudad Del Este was stranger than Asuncion because it was just as dead and most of the people there were Chinese. A couple of blocks from my hotel was the city center indoor shopping center and all the people were Chinese. From the bottom floor bowling alley all the way up to the cinema on the top floor. I went to one of the empty Chinese restaurant and there were a couple of people standing outside but they said it was closed. I felt like they didn't want me there, like it was their haven. The Brazilian town on the other side of the river seemed like it was 20 times bigger and the bus station was on the outskirts like normal.
