Hey, Hey,
I have arrived to Asuncion, Paraguay. Supposedly I was supposed to get a visa before coming here. But I was unaware. The guy at the checkpoint coming across the border told me I needed the visa and that I would have to pay 200 pesos. I told him I only had 40 pesos. I thought they were just trying to get money out of me (I looked it up on the state department website, and I guess I really do need the visa). I told him I didn´t have any more money (even though I did). They told me I was going to have to go back to Argentina, which I really didn´t want to do. I thought they would take the 40 pesos and let me through. They made me wait while he went to talk to his co worker. Then he came back and told me it would be very difficult to give me the visa for less than 100 pesos. I held firm and they let me in but without stamping my passport, so I guess I am illegal here and told me I would have to pay a fine on the way out of the country. I guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it. I hope Asuncion is good. Everyone speaks in Guarani and I don´t understand anything.

Nice blog my man. Don't let those Paraguayans push you around.
Dude, first you look like a rebel, and now you are a rebel. I always knew there was a little hellion tucked inside your body somewhere. LOL. Don't get deported in your stubbornness. Later Rebel.
Hey Bjorn, Good luck making it back across the border. Please stay safe. Thanks again for the videos. That's quite the beard that you've got going. Soccer is huge hear right now. Everyone drives around with their country's flags on their cars. I have thought about investing in a German flag just to fit in (it's hard to make a Japanese car fit in). Love you!
i don't actually want to write anything....i just want to see how this comment thingy works.
so actually that was mom's comment!!!
Son,
Do they feed you well in jail? Hope you make it out of Paraguaya.
This reminds me of trying to go across the border from Kenya to Tanzania. There was nothing there at that border crossing. I just wanted the stamp in my passport. They wouldn't let me. I went back across the border stampless.
