Food in Paraguay

I am going to tell you about a food and a drink

from Paraguay. The food is a soup called the

Paraguayan soup. The drink is called Paraguayan

tea. Paraguayan soup is cornbread flavored with a

little bit of cheese and onion with some other

spices. Some legends say that it came from a

mistake in the 19th century because of the

dictators cook. The cook accidentally added more

corn flour than needed to the liquidly soup. Luckily,

for the cook the dictator liked it. The Paraguayan

tea is very popular in Argentina, Uruguay, and

some people in South Brazil. Some drink it hot but

the Paraguayans drink it chilled because it is very

hot in Paraguay. The drink sooths hunger and

thirst.

Instruments made of trash!

In the slums of Paraguay, they have so much trash. The

Paraguayans make use out of it. One day someone had the

great idea to make instruments out of trash. They made a

violin out of trash. In Paraguay, a real violin would cost more

than a house. They made more instruments out of trash like

violins, saxophones, clarinets, flutes, Chellos, etc. The music

that the instruments make is amazing. If you want to listen to

Life in Paraguay

If you come to Paraguay people will

welcome you with great respect.

Asuncion is the capital city, and they have

a river that they get their water from. It is

called the Paraguay River. The Paraguay

River splits the country in 2 parts. Most

of the population is cluttered in the

fertile plains and hills on the eastern side.

The west side is not very populated. They

have short buildings because shade is

everything there.

War of the Triple Alliance

The war of the Triple Alliance was a good plan at first but

then it did not end up working. The war was in the 19th

century. It was against Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay.

Argentina and Paraguay sent people to Washington for

Hays binding agreement. Paraguays president, Candido

Bareiro renamed the town of Villa Occidental in Hayes

honor. In surrounding county there is a school and a local

soccer team that also are named after him.

The Facts

Did you know that Paraguay is one of the two land locked

countries in South America? They do not have a big

population; it is only about 5.9 million. They mainly speak

Spanish and Guarani. Their main exports are soybeans, feed,

cotton, meat, edible oils, and electricity. It is overshadowed by

the countries that are bigger and flashier. It is hard to say that

Paraguay is unspoiled by tourists. Most tourists go to come

from countries that neighbor them.
