Knowing what you know now, would you still move to this city?
Yes - Aug 2022
YES! - Aug 2022
I would because of the locals in the embassy and feeling safe here. The embassy community has been good as well. There are always one or two strange Americans at post but for the most part we have done all we can to keep the ball rolling, especially during the pandemic. - Jan 2021
Definitely, - Jun 2019

Absolutely. I will be very sad to leave. Paraguay is comfortable, relaxed, happy, and easy-going. My family and I have been very happy here. We have made a lot of local friends and we will miss them a lot. This is a welcoming country that quickly feels like a real home. - May 2016
Yes, I would. - Sep 2015
Probably, our family has been happy here. As stated above - Paraguay is pleasant, it's just not terribly exciting. - Apr 2015
Sure. - Aug 2014
Yes, we really like it here. However the school has been a bit of a concern. - Jul 2013
Sure, but from experience there are more interesting posts in Latin America. (Andean countries are very interesting). - Aug 2011
No. (I said that in spanish so that it is perfectly clear.) I say "no" because of how this place was presented. They (old tales from a small planet postings) said that this was a cheap place, had lots to do outdoors, and had good weather. Yes the weather can be nice here in May-July, but then what? There's nothing to do. It's not cheap here, especially the expendable necessities of American life. If they told me this place is your average small town USA in the 1950s except that they only spoke Spanish, had terrible local food (ever seen a Paraguayan restaurant anywhere outside Paraguay?), had about 3 or 4 malls that were way way over priced, and very little green space, then maybe I would think differently about this place. I was hoodwinked! - Jun 2011
Yeah, but be prepared to entertain yourself. - Feb 2011
Yes, absolutely. - Apr 2010
Once was enough and 2 years was really too long. - May 2008
