Palacio Legislativo

2105258-palacio_legislativo_new-asuncion.jpgThe new Palacio Legislativo is the only post-modern building in Asuncion’s center, and it was in large parts financed by Taiwan. It was kind of sad to see homeless children from the neighboring shanty barracks playing on the stairs of this modern flashy building. I wonder what the legislator think when they look outside their window and see these abandoned children.
