The (but only) 17 hour bus ride went, thanks to good food with food and champagne around faster than expected. The seats were damn comfortable and looks more like a bed. After arriving in Asunción, there was first a small air-shock, here it is again a few degrees warmer and more humid than above all in Buenos Aires.
Well, as we stood in the huge bus terminal and found no .. our future family I've bought a first Terere (the Paraguayan Mate, with ice water and indefinable herbs ...) and I looked at the thousands of dealers. It was also clear to me why Paraguay is the second poorest country in South America. After an hour we were, fortunately, but picked up yet.
The family is very nice and open, so I'm really totally lucky! Also my new home is really cool, the terrain is 5 hectares in size, where cows, pigs, 
hundreds of live chickens and geese, turtles, parrots, horses, dogs, cats and much more. After all we were shown, I went with Nicolás (the 8 year old son) swim in the lake nearby. The water was 30 m deep, despite a comfortable temperature.
little further away will still be a very large lake, where I will swim, however, as the waste water is disposed of from the surrounding villages there, and there is also anacondas and crocodiles ..
have then I played with Nico and a child from one of the huts in the area football and milked the cows.
Today I went with Lisa (the mother), 28 children from the Ipacaraí environment after school. And with a van that is designed for 15 people. This school transportation in the future will be my daily task. Most children live with their parents (usually many) siblings in huts, which often consist only of clay, stone, wood and canvas, along with chickens and sometimes a cow. Flowing water has the least. This is taken from the lake, of which I have previously told. There, the laundry is washed.
the lake is a former quarry Because, you see there with their children, men often cut off and carry away stones with old wheelbarrows. Obviously they are trying dazuzuverdienen so a few cents. The official minimum wage here in the country by the way is about 200 € per month, but only get the least actually. Many work for 2-3 € per day.
The schools are in a state of stark, and the children sit at plastic tables in brick shells, where the money has gone out for windows. At least it was enough for a door last month. This has probably also affect the quality of teaching.
while ago I gave a couple of 10-12-year tutor children (another future task), and I noticed that some can not even read and write. That was the teachers have been so far, probably does not matter ...
The Language I am doing my 
yet still a bit difficult, since here again a very different dialect than in Buenos Aires is spoken, but at least the children can understand me a little.
And do not forget: the food here is really sex! From bread, sausage, meat, eggs and vegetables here all by myself. And there are fresh lemonade from one of the many citrus trees and fresh passion fruit juice. Are also available in hundreds of coconut palms and guava trees, whose fruits also taste delicious clean. Everywhere the smell of citrus blossoms where colorful hummingbirds gather nectar =)
Now I do it myself to increase the rabbit hutch that we've got young of about 15 young bunny. To achieve this, I have a wall of brick and cement.
summarize it here so I feel really good and I feel completely comfortable in my new home! =)
Pictures coming soon!
