Catholic Church Korean Mass

February 16, 1997 (Sunday)



Today is Sunday. Some how I got the idea of paying the church a visit.  The church is just 50 meters from our building Panorama and we can see the church everyday from our veranda.

We entered the Church at 11:00 A.M.  Inside the church are all Koreans people. Only saw a Paraguayan family of 3 members. I thought it was Paraguayan service and did not know that at this time is the Korean mass. No one find this unusual visit of us. We understand nothing the Korean language during the mass. But we blended into the group as if we are also Korean.

Ciudad del Este in English is "City at the East".  Population wise, almost one third of the faces you see in the commercial center are Eastern faces such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.  And now we moved in to live in the city adding new faces from the East; one from Malaysia and one from Philippine.  At this time perhaps I am the only Malaysia and my wife the only Philippina.
