    Paraguayan here... most of the info is true, but the currency bills OMG they're already 10+ years out of circulation due to inflation, the newest bills are:
    - 2.000Gs.
    - 5.000Gs.
    - 10.000Gs.
    - 20.000Gs. (almost 5USD)
    - 50.000Gs.
    - 100.000Gs. (little bit les than 15 USD)
    Coins:
    - 50Gs.
    - 100Gs.
    - 500Gs.
    - 1.000Gs.
    - the Caacupe Cathedral located in the Caacupe City was planned to be bigger and with a completely different architecture but due to the lack of budget it was redesigned and finished much later than expected, but today it's a landmark for the Catholic population in our nation. Every year, December 8th people walk from their Cities to Caacupé. Asunción from Caacupé it´s 60Km (37 Miles) and from Ciudad del Este 273Km (160 Miles) to celebrate the mass in the Cathedral in honor to our Virgen María. We´ve seen people walking even kneeling from those kind of distances paying their promises to our Virgen María.
    - Caacupé means: Ka'a (Herb/bush) Kupé (behind) --- Behind the bushes.
    - the way we cook barbecue (or locally called "asado" like our brothers from Argentina and Uruguay) is SO different that you would taste different flavors in the same meat cut when different people from different nations cook... i say this cos i've met friends from both countries and it's different... and it's good!
    - people from other countries that i've met some time in the past told me that our city is that have most trees comparing to other main cities in the world. we try to preserve them as much as we can!
    - Itaipú hydroelectric energy is the largest one in the planet, and yes it's the greenest possible energy in the south american region.
    - as far as i was told, the Guarani language is the second most complicated to master, the first one is Afrikaans (it may have change by now) and it costs 50€ per hour in France to learn the language because of its similarities in the pronunciation.
    As food reference (currency exchange at August 4, 2020):
    - 2USD (regular price for most people in the working segment), 5 to 10USD (to Executive and Businessmen) to lunch
    - coffee costs from 2USD up to 5USD (most expensive at high-level places)
    - a sandwich regularly costs 1USD at supermarkets
    - 500ml of Coca-Cola costs 0,73USD minimum, maximum (at mass events like Concerts) 2,7USD
    Wages:
    - minimum for people without profession or other labor without a college degree: ~306,7USD *per month
    - the minimum acceptable for people who have college degree titles: ~656USD / if specialized up to 1200USD or 1500USD *per month
    Minimum prices of lease in Asuncion (prices varies according to the landlord or RE Agency):
    - Small room with one bathroom for one person: 100USD
    - Small house with 2 bedrooms, living room and garage for 2 people and a child: 200USD and from there it only goes up according to location
    Weather:
    - At all times we are almost 100% confident that if it's winter, it's going to be a VERY humid one the same for the summer.
    - Summer feels hotter because of the humidity.
    As an example: today it's August 3, 2020, plain winter, and at noon it was 30 degrees Celsius! (86F) right now at 11:10pm its 22 degrees (72F) but the forecast for the whole week goes to that range of temperature.
    In summer the minimum temperature its 27 or 28 degrees Celsius and a maximum of 48 degrees Celsius in Asuncion with a humidity (depending on the weather humor up to 100% and BELIEVE ME, it feels hotter than normal, i much rather the dry heat).
    i hope i filled some info curiosity people may have.... kind regards from Asunción, Paraguay! :D

      Yes and no. It's spoken in its purest form only by a minority of the population, the majority speaks Jopara (mix of Spa and Gua). Also, it's a spoken language, it has no real written form and as a result if you only speak Guarani you will not find legal documents and other things in it and have to resort to Spanish
      In short, it's spoken by a lot of people, but mixed with Spanish. It's looked down upon by a minority of the population in my opinion, most are proud to be able to speak Jopara

      At this point the "Countries A-Z"-playlist on this channel is 137 videos long with a combined duration of 28 hours, 6 minutes and 45 seconds. That's already enough to fill 37.5 regular lessons in school (45 minutes where I'm from, although higher education usually has 90-minute-lessons), assuming no pause between the videos.
      The internet has also taught me more about maths, chemistry, physics, medicine, languages, literature, history and culture (and probably other subjects) than school ever has. Keep in mind that most public schools have to teach a wide variety of subjects. Breadth over depth. If they would focus more on one thing then people will complain about the lack of another.

    Hello! Great episode as usual, but I have some remarks.
    Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia was indeed a dictator, but his legacy was positive to Paraguay. Essentially he didn't allow the growth of a class of powerful landowers, as opposed of the rest of the region. This allowed their succesors, Carlos Antonio López and his son Francisco Solano, to begin the country's industrialization. Paraguay was the first south american country with telegraphs, trains and steelworks. That was abruptly stopped for the Triple Alliance War. War that, unlike what you probably heard, Paraguay didn't seek.
    It's also worth mentioning in paraguayan history the Chaco War.
    In regards to mate and tereré, they are both consumed here in Argentina as well. In fact is a typical beverage in all the Río de la Plata basin.
    Greetings from Buenos Aires.

      @GiantPetRat 4 года назад +4

      For those of you who are not quite sure what this means, names like Bogotá are pronounced bo-go-TAH, not BO-go-tah. It's not like French accent markers of the same shape, which usually just turn what would be an schwa-sounding e into an "ay" (like in "hay") sounding e.

    • @GiantPetRat
      @GiantPetRat 4 года назад +1

      Oh also, I reckon that a lot of the names for places in Spanish speaking countries have those seemingly odd syllable stresses due to the fact that the names are often of non-Spanish origin (such as Quechua, Nahuatl or, in this case, Guaraní). Easy to trip up most folks uninitiated.
