Pork slaughter and visit Asunción
Sodele, is by now the first week moved into the country. Crazy how fast rumgeht time. I'm sitting on the terrace and drink native Mate, while I listen to the croaking of bull frogs and the chirping of crickets. =) You can tell that spring is coming slowly, because the nights are getting warmer. Unfortunately, I still had to wear long clothes now that I would otherwise be eaten by mosquitoes.
This week is again something happened.
Now I can drive the school bus every morning and collect the children. That's always a great Tohuwabuhu as sitting on each seat 2-3 children who like to loudly to Reggeatonmusik sing on the radio. Then they always call "Más fuerte, Flo! Más fuerte "
I also could help the slaughter pigs;! After we put the 85kg animal on the farm was stunned with a current-clamp. While I considered this, which was chancho killed with a knife wound to the heart. The 5 liters of blood shooting out which then were collected with a bucket, in order to make blood sausage. Then the pig was entborstet, washed, cleaned and cut.
celebrated its tenth birthday yesterday Nico. There were 20 children from the area, for the fun games we prepared. It was a very nice, but also exhausting day. Therefore indulged Rivka, Manuela (a volunteer who is still here for 3 weeks) and I are a typical evening with Cachaca Caipirinha (for 1.90 € a liter), and fresh lemons from the garden.
Today we took the bus to Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay, which is about 40km away. I learned how it works here by bus, there are no stops, you simply have to put the road on the bus, and then stretch out his hand when he comes. How long you wait, you never know. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes, but sometimes an hour or more. Punctuality is a foreign word. If the bus has stopped, one must hope that one can somehow squeeze inside. Since the bus is often quite full, usually 3-4 people are still hanging out on the floor board. The door is always open in principle. If you want to get off, you must give the driver a signal, which then continues normally. Rather chaotic everything ... but funny =)
Joa, in Asunción itself has actually seen very little. The houses are all pretty filthy, and all are small stalls, a BBQ Chipa, counterfeit clothing and jewelry is sold. Really nice but is a small park on the Rio Paraguay. Since we have a little while sunning on the lawn.
have also Rivka and I still for a course logged in, we will visit every Saturday for 3 hours.
On the way back we are still strolled through a market in San Lorenco. Extreme right, and these were tin shacks, one beside the other, so everything was covered. There was everything, and of course damn cheap. And the whole thing so huge that I only run once. I felt like in the jungle: the whole time you angela bert from dealers and even pulled on his arm, "Muchacho, más barato para vos!" I was relieved when I finally found the way out.
Most lewd, however, the bike shops that exist here in abundance. Brand new 150cc machine gets is here for 3 million (about 450 €). And the pieces look really cool, such as it was in 1950 in Germany modern. ^ ^ This cost of fuel here, about 50 cents per liter ... Everything sounds pretty tempting ...
Now I'm going to try a bit of Tom Sawyer (in English of course) and if the material is empty go to bed.
