Asuncion

One of the most anonymous capital cities on the South American continent is quite anonymous when it comes to tourist attractions as well. Apart from walking around looking at the locals who are constantly running around with their thermoses drinking mate wherever they have a minute to spare, there are few tours, hardly any museums to talk about for a capital city, no excursions, no activities, no mountains, no paragliding and no smorgasbords.

Asuncion does however have something few others do: plenty of mosquitos carrying the Dengue-fever virus, which there is no vaccine for. Yey!

Asuncion is also a city where the upper class mixes more with the poorer people compared to other places I have seen (I guess they have the mate-drinking in common) and one may encounter traffic jams with horse-carts transporting a load of junk next to a brand new black Mercedes Benz with toned windows.

I guess it doesn't get more exciting than this. I only managed to take ten photos in total; none of them turned out good and only one made the OK-mark.
