Also, i've seen some comments about Asuncion related to AC. Some ppl say they've lived in different luxury appts in Asuncion and their AC wasn't able to bear the heat and did not work properly cause they were cheap or something. Did you experience that? I prefer to sleep at night and not sweat, lol
Can you find places with 2 units over there? Everywhere I've been staying in Thailand with 1 bedroom will have two units. I think that's great: in an emergency, one breaks down, you just shut the door and stick to 1 room until the repair man makes it out. This in fact did start happening, one unit started dripping out gallons of water like a MF. Thankfully I'm a mere Airbnb guest and won't have to put up with that crap past 2 weeks.
I use air bnb but if u want something long term, i would check out the apartments personally and u can suss a deal when youre here. Not too sure about companies to use yet
@@brockwayonline wow, that’s pretty hot. I’ve been living in Thailand for 3,5 years and figured the weather is not my cup of tea. I prefer more 25-30 C if possible. Will go to Medellin or Floripa during the summer in this case
@@brockwayonline during these cold weeks, how do you deal with that inside the house? Do they have any central warming up system in place at all? When temperatures goes to 15 Celsius in Ukraine it gets super cold inside the house so we use a furnace or central warming up shit (don’t know how you call it). How do they take care of it in Paraguay? Let me guess, they don’t. Just sit in their winter coats at home?
Man. Nice video but the area where you are is not the only interesting area in Asuncion . Check Barrio Las Mercedes, Los Laureles, Mburucuja, Villa Morra.
yo mate, can I get away without Spanish in Asuncion? I've spent 90 days learning Brazilian Portuguese (cause I was thinking of moving there) and now I've realized in my life I will have to learn Spanish as well. But I don't want to learn 2 languages at the same time and don't want to stop Portuguese. My goal is just to go into Monk Mode and don't socialize much to not get any instructions, Can I get away without Spanish in Asuncion?
Hey man you could, but would make life a liittle annoying, barely anyone speaks English. Personally i would chose spanish first then u have the ability to choose any country in latam. Once u know spanish, then u know like 80% of portuguese anyway so its an easy transition. Depends how certain u are on spending time in brazil i guess. My answer is, yes u should learn spanish, u will enjoy ur time a lot more
...you should really knock Portuguese out first. Get a digital nomad visa to Brazil and do that first. I'm pretty sure fluent Portuguese to Spanish is way easier than fluent Spanish to Portuguese. Not that the other direction is insanely hard to do, but, you will be able to do the first direction way way way faster.
@@parasitius I'm already in the month 6 of learning Brazilian Portuguese and it is going well so I decided to do Portuguese first (just as you recommend)
Could you maybe do a tour or a video outside good places there?
Sure, coming soon
Hey Brock! Thanks for the Asuncion videos. Any tips on how to build a social life there? I speak fluent English and basic Spanish

Nice!!! 👍👍👍
Nice stuff, I'm curious where do you find the best rental deals in Asuncion? AirBnb?
Barrio Ykua Sati, Carmelitas, Villa Morra, Las Lomas, Mburukuja, Los Laureles.

How cold does it get in Asuncion during the winter months?
It gets cold for 2 weeks or so in winter, weather can be a bit bipolar. Even still its not that cold low-mid teens at max.
@@brockwayonline dope. I will like it. Does it get super hot in summer though?
Yeah high 30s low 40s

Based on his other videos, I'm pretty sure he is all around Villa Morra too. But yeah just those 2.
