Clothes For A University Interview

guitar and bees

Since I finally have enough time for me, I have not had in Germany, this week I worried a guitar, and thus fulfilled a long awaited dream. =) Now I'm practicing on a daily basis, so I've been very sore fingers. Meanwhile, I can already "Dust in the Wind," "Lady in Black" and "Country Roads" play and sing.

Lately I have married me in spite of warnings to the 7 feral colonies here. These are pretty tough critters, not to compare with my .. in Germany It is after all the driving here in South America to mischief, so-called Africanized "killer bee". Despite complete disguise I had to give up after 2 minutes because I was stung several times by the gloves and pants. Now I'll get me first, a second pair of gloves and dare me then the next day turn again. The citrus honey, I had nibbled, it tastes too good.

On Friday I will open myself for 3 days in Buenos Aires with Rivka and Lisa (my host mother), because there the "Pepsi-festival" takes place and experience the "dead trousers" are. There are also many other volunteers from Argentina, which is definitely a very fun weekend.

Free Vids Bus Groping

From the first visit and the "friend and helper"



From Thursday to Sunday I was visiting out of 5 good friends who make a FSJ in Paraguay and Brazil. We had three really beautiful days on which we depend a lot on Cantera Lake. During the day, was chilling in the sun and at night until the wee hours Campfire sung and told by the previous experiences. In addition, Asado and pig's head was grilled, drank a lot of Caipirinha and gone in Asuncion to the disco.
short three successful and beautiful days! =)
with the weather we were extremely lucky, until Sunday evening drew to a thunderstorm, with a minute even hailstones almost as big as ping pong balls fell from the sky! Sau awesome, something I've never seen! I will upload pictures in the coming days.

Yeah, now I already had (yes, it had slowly come ..) contact with the "friend and helper." The first time I had parked my bike and am IpacaraĆ­ there by bus to Asuncion. The next day the bike was gone, the police had taken it because she thought it was stolen for. When I tried to pick it up, they wanted me to play it not for some unknown reasons. As I stretched them a 10 000Gs bill to (1.40 €), after which I immediately got access to my motorcycle.

The second time I was stopped and asked for my papers. That was when I was on the way to the car stops to regulate the paperwork. The policeman told me I had to pay the penalty now 150 000Gs Comisario, located a few blocks away. Therefore he went back on a motorbike around me where to steer towards. In a Side street, he stopped me and asked me how much I have since. I gave him 50 000Gs (7Euro) which he said goodbye with the words "ciao muchacho" and I nachwin cts.

meantime I got myself even more by telling that you should honk at police checkpoints and just full throttle, since the police here are often simply called arbitrary fines.

Bideos Defamosas Cojiendo

Primavera en Paraguay =)

Sodele, it is time again to speak up. There are also some reports of back from the last few weeks.

First to take this opportunity to thank you for your congratulations for my birthday! Yeah, now it's already on the 30 to ...

this special day ;-) I also celebrated at noon, there was coffee and cake with family and children and some evenings I had rented a table at a nightclub in Asuncion. For this I had invited all former acquaintances, after all, so it came to 22 guests. There was dancing until the wee hours at the local Regueton music and we had a lot of fun. A really good day then.

Last weekend, Rivka and I were invited to a 15 anos birthday of a friend of Louisa. This is celebrated huge: you had to appear in a very chic clothes, it was a big buffet, Live band, a waiter, a clown, about 500 people, professional performances, and much more. From her work it could be compared to a wedding in Germany, which was probably also the fact that this family was very wealthy. Other families into debt because of this celebration is often high.

Since two weeks Rivka and I risen 10 quail chicks, which we want to get up a little breeding. =) In 6 weeks there then quail eggs every morning for breakfast. Unfortunately we have had a recent strong storms in which some trees and palm trees were uprooted and power poles Reports says, so we needed a day without electricity and water. As the chicks still under a heat lamp must be kept warm, cold, that night, unfortunately, 5 of the small ones. = (

blackouts are here by the way nothing special as I have now noticed. In the last two weeks we had two more.

runs with the children also all very well, only that I have now noticed that on general knowledge rather crass hitch. On a world map could give me none of the 15 children show, where is Paraguay. Some were somewhere in China, others to Europe, others to the Antarctic. When I had shown them on the world map where Paraguay, where Germany is, I asked them how great they estimate the distance. Some typed with confidence at 2km other 500km. When I told them that there were almost 11 000km, which corresponds to about 200 days' march, they stared.

As we took was the emergence of the earth, I also a bit surprised. Some schools will actually teach according to the Bible, so some children have never heard of evolution. They are firmly convinced that the Earth and everything that lives created by God and it is no such thing as evolution was.

It is very hard to find as a mediocrity, I will not say that what they learn in school is wrong.

Slowly I get a little taste of summer here in Paraguay. After the Last week was quite cold (18-25Grad) yesterday it had just under 40 degrees with very high humidity. This also took a red-striped, from about 1.20 m long snake that was sunning himself yesterday on the road. As I learned later it was probably a poisonous snake whose bite after you only live a few more minutes. Last year here, even a horse killed by a poisonous snake. There is no antidote was previously unknown. In other snakes there is an antidote, but which is available only in Asuncion. But what is not very useful, because you need to get there at least an hour.

Well, let's hope that I have to make me never thought about it ...

Images the last few weeks will follow soon, once I found my camera cord ...
