Food in Paraguay

I am going to tell you about a food and a drink


from Paraguay. The food is a soup called the
Paraguayan soup. The drink is called Paraguayan
tea. Paraguayan soup is cornbread flavored with a
little bit of cheese and onion with some other
spices. Some legends say that it came from a
mistake in the 19th century because of the
dictators cook. The cook accidentally added more
corn flour than needed to the liquidly soup. Luckily,
for the cook the dictator liked it. The Paraguayan
tea is very popular in Argentina, Uruguay, and
some people in South Brazil. Some drink it hot but
the Paraguayans drink it chilled because it is very
hot in Paraguay. The drink sooths hunger and
thirst.
Instruments made of trash!
In the slums of Paraguay, they have so much trash. The
Paraguayans make use out of it. One day someone had the
great idea to make instruments out of trash. They made a
violin out of trash. In Paraguay, a real violin would cost more
than a house. They made more instruments out of trash like
violins, saxophones, clarinets, flutes, Chellos, etc. The music
that the instruments make is amazing. If you want to listen to

Life in Paraguay
If you come to Paraguay people will
welcome you with great respect.
Asuncion is the capital city, and they have
a river that they get their water from. It is
called the Paraguay River. The Paraguay
River splits the country in 2 parts. Most
of the population is cluttered in the
fertile plains and hills on the eastern side.
The west side is not very populated. They
have short buildings because shade is
everything there.
The Facts
Did you know that Paraguay is one of the two land locked
countries in South America? They do not have a big
population; it is only about 5.9 million. They mainly speak
Spanish and Guarani. Their main exports are soybeans, feed,
cotton, meat, edible oils, and electricity. It is overshadowed by
the countries that are bigger and flashier. It is hard to say that
Paraguay is unspoiled by tourists. Most tourists go to come
from countries that neighbor them.

War of the Triple Alliance


The war of the Triple Alliance was a good plan at first but
then it did not end up working. The war was in the 19th
century. It was against Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay.
Argentina and Paraguay sent people to Washington for
Hays binding agreement. Paraguays president, Candido
Bareiro renamed the town of Villa Occidental in Hayes
honor. In surrounding county there is a school and a local
soccer team that also are named after him.
