What do I need to know before moving to Paraguay?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Paraguay, they said:

"Paraguay is a Spanish-speaking country, so it is important for expats to have a basic understanding of the language before moving there. Paraguay is a largely rural country, so expats should be prepared to experience a slower pace of life than in more urban areas. Paraguay has a tropical climate, so expats should be prepared for hot and humid weather. Paraguay is a relatively safe country, but expats should still take precautions to protect themselves and their belongings. Expats should also be aware that Paraguay has a high rate of poverty, so they should be prepared to encounter some level of poverty and inequality. Finally, expats should research the local culture and customs before moving to Paraguay to ensure they are respectful of the local culture," remarked one expat in Paraguay.
