Hello

I am Paula. I am from Asunción, Paraguay. I like going out to parties, playing with my dog and surfing the web. I really hate spiders, I'm phobic to them, I have been since I was a little girl; I also hate some sweets, I HATE marshmallows and cotton candy.

My country is really great! Some typical foods are: “Chipa Guazu”, “Sopa Paraguaya”, “Arroz Kesu”, etc. My favorite tradition is our dance clothes, to dance we use a white shirt called "Typoi" and a long skirt that we put on our waist, we also use roses in our braided hair (Sometimes we put false braided hair because ours isn't long enough) and my personal favorite part is MAKEUP. We put on rose red lipsticks, we use blush, mascara and eye pencil.

Paraguay is also known for being one of the only countries that remains using our native language. Last but not least the most typical drinks in Paraguay are "Mate" and "Terere" we make them by putting herb in a special cup and pouring water in it!

Hello, my name is Juan. I’m 14 years old and I live in Paraguay. I like sleeping, eating, using the computer and playing rugby. Paraguay is a rather primitive country compared to other countries. but it’s an old country with many traditions; for example the drinks: in winter we drink "mate" and in the summer "terere" both are made with “yerba mate” but mate is drunk with warm water and terere with cold water. The winters are rather cold and the summers are very warm. It gets to 43 degrees Celsius and in the winter it gets to 7 degrees. The most popular sport is football and there are many fields where football is played. It’s very normal to have a family lunch on Friday. There are quite a lot of things to do but it is not as much as in other countries. The country is separated in departments or provinces. Most of the country’s economy depends on cattle and meat is one of the main export products.
