Paraguay

I lived in Paraguay for over 2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer. I can really only answer this question from a rural standpoint though. In the "campo" or rural areas, holidays are celebrated with an asado - barbeque beef ribs - cooked on a "parrilla" - a simple grill on the ground over charcoal. Christmas is celebrated on Christmas eve with an asado accompanied by "clerico" - clerico is a wine (red or white) with fruit salad mixed in (pineapple, apple, grapes, peaches, anything goes). Pineapple soda is often used with the wine or instead of wine. Every community has a patron saint and that community celebrates that saint's day usually with a "rodeo" - a horse show (no roping of cows like the US version of a rodeo), a soccer tournament, a mass, sometimes a procession. Many communities do "karu guazu" or "big meal" in conjuntion with their saint day. Women prepare a huge meal and invite all of their friends and close neighbors. This practice is usually tied to a "promesa" or a promise that woman made to the saint in exchange for help/answer to a prayer. She then provides this large meal every year for a number of years. Since a Catholic holiday can be accompanied by a novena - or nine days of prayer - the big meals can go on for nine days with more than one big meal per day for nine days. Holidays in Paraguay are a day of rest and fun and family. Families reunite - sons and daughters returning from the city to spend the day or weekend with their extended family. Loud music is played, beer or wine mixed with Coca-Cola is consumed all day, the meal is large (asado of beef ribs, potato or rice salad, manioca - yucca), volleyball or soccer games and if the weather is hot, a trip to the closeby river or stream for swimming.

mainly on crops and farming. They economy in recent years have been getting better. More jobs are avaliable and less people are asking for money. They will have many poor people and there is a big differnt between the rich and the poor.

italy...but its not over yet. they play a series of games like they do in baseball.

Paraguay have qualified for the World Cup proper on eight occasions - in 1930, where they reached round 1, 1950, round 1, 1986, 1998 and 2002, where they reached the last 16, 2006, where they reached round 1, and the 2010 tournament, for which they have qualified.

Rio Parana

The Aquidaban River is a river in northeastern Paraguay. The Apa River forms part of the border between Paraguay and Brazil. The Acaray River in eastern Paraguay.

It is the city of Asuncion. The official name is Nuestra Señora Santa Maria de la Asuncion.

The South Atlantic

Peru and Paraguay share a border in South America, with the distance between their capitals—Lima (Peru) and Asunción (Paraguay)—being approximately 1,500 kilometers (about 930 miles) by air. The two countries are separated by Brazil, and the actual travel distance may vary depending on the route taken.

I am from Paraguay so I can answer this. It is chilly in the winter, but not half as cold as New Jersey, however in the summer it can get pretty hot. Depending on the weather you like, you should go. It isn't a very famous or popular country so there are not many tourists.

If you go in the winter (in NJ) it would be summer there

and if you go in the summer (in NJ) it would be winter there

Paraguay takes its name from the Paraguay River. The river runs through Brazil and forms part of that country's border with Bolivia as well as running through Paraguay and forming part of the border with Argentina. It flows 2,549 km south before meeting the Parana River. The name is taken from the Guarani words para (ocean) gua (to or from) and y (water); ie water that goes to the ocean.

Venezuela is north of Paraguay.

It's a base ingridient the Paragyan people!

There are at least four versions for the origin of the name Paraguay. The literal translation from Guaraní is Para = of many varieties, Gua = from, belonging to or place, Y = water, river or lake.
