Fried Chicken American and Drinks

That was the name of a restaurant I saw in Paraguay. I didn't eat there. I'm guessing from the name that it wasn't very authentic. It always makes me laugh when I think of it though. I have a list of phrases from Paraguay that will always conjure up vivid memories and make me laugh just as hard as the first time I heard them. A few of my favorites: Where's your teeth?!? One of my friends came up with this as a potential comeback to direct at the next Paraguayan who called us gorda (fat.) No muy antiguo Paraguayan museums are nothing like the Smithsonian. The exhibits are not well preserved, well displayed, or well selected. One museum we toured had random exhibits of clothing and such. They were disintegrating in their display cases. Each display had an index card taped to it with a handwritten description of the item and approximate year (e.g."Lace, 1926"). One fancy handmade skirt had an index card taped to it's case which simply read "No muy antiguo" ("Not very old.") I think we're burying the Pope! The death of the Pope was a big deal in Paraguay, a very Catholic country. It was all we heard about for days. The street vendors in the capitol started selling Paraguayan flags with the Pope's face on them. The Pope's one and only visit to Paraguay (in 1988) was replayed over and over and over on every TV channel and the song the children of Paraguay sang for the Pope during his visit 17 years earlier became the theme song of the week. We even had a national holiday for his funeral. Returning to our training center after the holiday, someone noticed an abundance of shovels (it was gardening day) and announced "I think we're burying the Pope!"
