Pull up a guampa.
Asunción's worst-kept secret for making friends.
A city gets smaller once you have people to text. Someone for dinner on Friday, a show on Saturday, a "you have to try this place" on Sunday. That's what the group is for.
Open Asu is a WhatsApp community with in-person plans every week, where Paraguayans and people from everywhere else make new friends. New here and don't know anyone yet? Come along. Know the city well and want new company? You're welcome too.
Start with a bowl of ramen, a round of tereré, or whatever gets you out the door.
01 - What we do
What are we doing?
Four ways in. All of them open.
02
Give something a go
Take a workshop, catch an exhibition, watch Cerro vs Olimpia, or teach the table a card game. Bring the plan you keep putting off.
03
Head out for the evening
Catch live music, meet for drinks, or go dancing. Pick a place and see who's up for it.
04
Keep it simple
Tereré, a few snacks, and an afternoon free. A plan doesn't need much production to be worth joining.
Every Thursday
Thursdays · 6:00 pm · Wang K-store
Ramen & Soju
at Wang
Pick your noodles, get them bubbling, and grab a drink. We're heading to Wang K-store for Korean ramen, soju, and a little snack-aisle exploration.
Come hungry. Choose your spice level carefully.

Asunción,
in pictures.
The place we're all in. Go look at it.
03 - The point
You've found a few places.
Now find your people.
Knowing where to get coffee is useful. Having someone to ask "Coffee later?" makes a bigger difference.
Join a plan, suggest something you'd enjoy, and give yourself a chance to become a familiar face.
You can turn up on your own. That's the whole idea.
