These are only a few of all of the great things Paraguayans have asked me!
Do you wash your clothes in the US? Or do you just wear them once and then throw them away?
Do you know how to cook?
Do you know how to drink beer?
Do you have a family there?
Its pronounced, s-ank you?
On my first day at the Muni, I had someone ask me...Can you hug me? (meaning...can you HELP me...but they kind of sound the same in English)
Does everyone use a sleeping bag in the US?
Is it illegal to have a Paraguayan boyfriend?
Why is your towel funny? (I use a quick dry camping towel)
Is it true you use liquid soap?
What is your language?
Do you speak French?
There arent still forests in the US are there?
Do you still have campo (country) in the US?
Doesnt everywhere in the US look like Asuncion (ie. big city)?
Why are you here?
So, I won a million dollars? (a new internet user asked me about his spam mail)
Your only have one last name?
Can you get me an email address? (almost every paraguayan has asked this!)
The US is the most polluted country in the world, right?
Whats the difference between Republicans and Democrats?
They teach Guarani where else in the world because its such a good base for learning other languages?
Is that thing on your bed, you know, the thing you get in and sleep in - its an airplane - right?
You only have 1 brother - but 4 parents?
Do you have a Paraguayan boyfriend yet?
Do you know what Coca-cola is? (yes...that was invented in the US!)
Here is how you turn the lights on - do you have light switches in the US?
More to come...Im sure!
