Thank you, Emily. Thank you very much. May I introduce to you, the Falange International.

Buenos Aires really, is there an address I can visit next time I'm there?

The closest I ever got was Asuncion, Paraguay. Got sick, had to return State-side. :banghead:

Always wanted to go to South America, particularly Argentina, Brazil, and Peru...but just as a tourist

South America is very intriguing. It comes across as an old fashioned society, overall. It's as though time has stood still. I lived in Central America, which I found more upbeat in the cities, and travelled and lived for a short time in South America. The latter was like a twilight zone, of sorts. :spot:

The women in Paraguay were amazing -- tall, tan, with long, black, silky hair, GREEN eyes, sometimes blonde, interesting mix of German, Spanish and Guarani. :banana: :mebeer: :scratchchin: :devilheadbang:

It's great to travel in south america, by car. The biggest problem though are the roads which frankly are a piece of crap. If you like the women from Paraguay, I would recomend you to visit southern Brazil, Santa Catarina to be exact, I have never in my life seen so many beautifull women so close together. In the cities it is not so diferent from other cities worldwide, but the rural areas are sometimes surreal.

In Asuncion, people from the border area near Brazil would show up in the mercado on Saturday, selling artisanry from those parts. They were 'surreal' in appearance -- an exotic blend of Black, Iberian, and Indian. I wish I had been healthy enough to take in more of the region and its people. In those days, I suddenly succumbed to acute asthma and allergic rhienitis, neither of which were treated during my short stay in Paraguay. I almost died twice from asthma attacks during the Spring season down there. I was too focused on surviving my disease to notice much. I also travelled to Bolivia, hoping to venture out to Che Guevara's 'Red Zone', to walk the ground where the great guerrilla chief fought and died during his last campaign. BUT, asthma struck again. I almost died in Santa Cruz, and La Paz, inside of three days. Again, I had to leave, mission unaccomplished.:frown:

Let me tell you of a strange driving practice the Paraguayans had; at night, for some insane reason, right there in downtown Asuncion, they deliberately drive down the wrong side of the streets, with their highbeams on. It was crazy. They didn't appear to notice anything wrong with it, either. Paraguay was the single strangest place I ever visited. I attribute that fact to its long-standing policy of isolationism and the xenophobia it produced. The heavy Indian overtones within the culture I think were another factor.

Actually, I'm wrong. South Korea was the strangest. Paraguay was the second most bizarre. Still, I enjoyed it.
