Three years in Paraguay has changed my expectations a bit when it comes to comfort. I used to live in a nice apartment with central air and cable tv. Now I live in a two room apartment behind the house of a Paraguayan family, below two loud 19 year old med students and next to a public washing station. There are more cows and bugs in my life than I would ever have imagined. I would like to share some of what now comforts me here in Paraguay and some other stuff that just helps me get by. Even though I look forward to some of the comforts of home, I will miss this stuff!
The entrance to my home
Public Washing Station, it doesn't have running water so those who wash here pull it from the well.
The Refrigerator, it doesn't close properly so I secure it with a bungee cord.
Cooking and Storage Area
My Bed/Couch/Living Space, best purchase in Paraguay
My Sink/Washing Machine/Dishwasher
Transportation
Entertainment, although its typically drowned out my neighbor's bigger speakers.
Heating
Cooling
Homemade Shelf
Closet
Hot Water
Don't forget the pool!
