Hello!

First of all happy new year! Don't worry! Take it easy, I've been busy too recently and didn't have time to connect :)
As I could investigate, paraguayan people doesn't need especial permissions to enter to the EU, this is a big advantage compared to other Latin Americans who need more things, more papers, mostly because the bad fame of their nationals in Europe.
A good thing here is that weather in this time of the year, but there's also a lot of raining days in summer, but very big rains! the streets look like rivers here, a huge amunt of water fall when it rains hopefully the temperature lowes, but the city is not prepared to big rains, winter here is generally dry.
Many of the population is heavily catholic here, so the the holy days are really traditional, but different from anywhere, our culture, like the population, is the result of an admixture between spanish and indigenous people, so it's really unique :)
I can say that is different from many places as I've passed christmas last year (2013-2014) in Brazil and it's really different, Brazil it's a huge country in terms of territory, population and ethnic background so even in the same neighborhood there are different traditions, some totally european, some totally african, some mixed, interesting too

Yes, I think the embassy in Sweden also works with the neighboring countries :) Hope so, I'm not totally sure hahaha.
Christmas have some things in common with yours, some people go to the church (We are a highly catholic country), every family made a Pesebre (representation of Christ's born scene), we made a big meal (beef, pork, pastas, etc) and we share with all our relatives (uncles, aunt, grandmas, grandpas, cousins, etc) and we wait the 12:00 PM to celebrate hugging our relatives, there's also a lot of fireworks! After that, about 00:30PM we went to visit our friends.
We don't usually send gifts on Christmas, it's more a a time to think and sharing time with family, the presents are given on January 6th when the catholic tradition said in that day the Kings from the East bring gifts to the recently born, but now, many children receive presents on the 25th of December :)
It's summer in december here, so that's why we can do things that people in other countries can't (Just imagine a Christmas with 37 degrees :D)

As I've said before I prefer going to a better educated country, but here not many people have the chance to learn another language so they try to apply to Spain or Portugal, there are few people who can really teach english or another language but hopefully the number of teachers (even foreign ones) are increasing :)
Yes.. I've heard that studying abroad in Denmark is difficult, and there's no Paraguayan embassy there :(, but there is an embassy in Stockholm who can help, there is a interesting amount of Paraguayans in Sweden I planning to go abroad on 2016 or 2017 so still have time to choose wisely, I'm still very young and I've just started my career..
Thank you for the link, was really useful, I've read it and there are many programmes that I want to apply for hahaha, really, sound fantastic :)
Merry Christmas to you too :)
PD: I'm a bit curious, what it's like Christmas in Denmark? Do you reunite with your relatives?

But don't be sad about it! Your friend from school will be your friends forever, and you will meet new amazing people in the university too :)
I'm an engineering student, in the speciality of electronic, it' good, I like it, there is a lot of practical work, something which I prefer from reading texts and that kind of things.
Because of my carert, I'm afraid I have to study abroad in some point of my career, It's something that I like, I love to travel and studying abroad (apart from the upgrade that I will have) would be a life experience :)
I loom from programmes of interchange and most of them aren't likely to complete the places because people here doesn't have a good second language, so they only try to apply to Spain and the brazilians (there is a big brazilian comunity here near the Brazil-Paraguay border) to Portugal, but there are really few students who try to apply to UK, Netherlands, Denmark or Sweden, and as my investigation, most people in those countries speak english as a mother language or as a second language, that's really an advantage for me :D
I would really appreciate your help my friend, you're so kind (I couldn't find the correct word hahaha)
:)

We are small countries with friendly, happy people, if we had your hard-working culture would be even better :)
If i could I would go back to school, I really miss having a lot of time compared with the university, and of course, my friends, I'm still in contact with most of them but there are some of them which I didn't see since 2011 when we finish high school.
Found interesting that you finish high school later, I think that is better, at that age you are more mature and you choose your future wisely, here most people finish high school at 17-18 and at that age we aren't mature enough to decide our future, at least in my case and many of my friends hahaha :)
I was always interested to going abroad to study, especially in Europe. At first, I want to going to Spain or Portugal because of the language, but now I prefer the Northern Countries, especially The UK, Ireland, The Netherlands or Scandinavian countries, they have better education and they have a higher percentage of english speakers :)
In fact I was looking for some programmes to study abroad like Erasmus or something like that, I think I can't apply for Erasmus because I'm not european but I would study and choose wisely the best to going in the future :D

Sure! It's great to find another Dortmund fan! I like Guardiola but not very much Bayern hahaha but It's OK, they're better at the moment..
For me the goal in life is being happy, so I'm glad to born in a place when people laugh of themselves, so problems and issues aren't as difficult as they look :)
It'a bit sad that our continent is recognised more for politicians that for the good people who lives here.. but we the young people are the chosen to change the way that we live (the things i've been written are so deep that Adele can roll in it :) hahaha)
Hope you to visit my country, you will like it, and the other nearest also like Argentina or Uruguay..
And talking about you, are you in the university? As i've said before I praise the danish education system and someday want to be part of it :)

I got a team per country hahaha :D, I follow Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Atlético Madrid, and now I follow Marseille because of Marcelo Bielsa. Is a paraguayan playing in Denmark isn't it? In Brondby I think... what teams do you count on?
I think we both are lucky, do you have a efficient government, a peaceful people and petroleum, we don't have it but we are the biggest producer of electric energy worlwide, and our country have big jungles, forest, a lot of tropical fruits and a really friendly people, Paraguay itself it's like a little village :)
We really admire the Nordic countries because they have to adapt to the bad weather conditions and how they mantain a good standard of living.
I've read that Denmark is the happiest country in Europe, that's another reason to liking the country, It seems a friendly country to visit, in that research, the happiest country in the World is Paraguay, here we always look at the bright side of life like Monthy Python :D, and about the corruption, it isn't just a Paraguay issue, it's a Latin American issue with a very few exception like Chile or Uruguay, but right now we are the highest growing nation in América, so we are hoping a better future for our nation

Dont worry about it :), europeans usually doesn't know our teams, but we follow the european football, every single one has a euro team to support, we even know the teams from the lower leagues.
We have river and lake beaches, and they are very crowded because it's very warm sometimes. By this time of the year the average temperature it's from 30-32 degrees in the day and 27 in the night, but sometimes it reach 37-40.
From here, Denmark it's seen like an example of what we would like to be, we praise the education system, we praise the low level of corruption (which is a big problem here) and i personally absolutely love the bicycle culture that you have, i love to ride a bike and here its sometimes difficult because there are very few bicycle roads, unfortunately..
And as an engineering student i would love to see the Oresund bridge and tunnel, it would be and amazing experience, and of course the countryside and the Islands :D

Well, my favourite team is Cerro Porteño, it's the most popular team here, we've been champions 30 times! The last one was in 2013.
Paraguay as a country i think is a bit quiet one, very relaxing, although we are landlocked, and the people is among the friendliest and happiest in the world :D
The only thing that i dont like about my country is the weather, sometimes, even in winter, the temperatures reach 40º celsius degrees and it's a bit uncomfortable, but just that.
I really like Denmark because is a small country like us but with a high living standard and we have to learn many things from you :)
