It came time to make my quick trip to renew my Multiple Entry Visa today, and I was in for a big surprise. I crossed the bridge from Asuncion and went to Argentina, ate lunch, and headed back. When I got to Immigration for Paraguay, there was a big ...

I don't know if I'd classify that as "co-conspirator" Zollie, though it certainly has some modicum of norteno poetic license. I'd say you're definitely acclimating to Paraguayan culture as a participant in the informal tax system (one might call it ... Read More
