Hi! Does any know if their is a bus from Asuncion to Salta Argentina?

Hi all, Short notice I know but no harm asking. I'd like to step out tonight and soak up a little nightlife. My days of booming dance music clubs were fun but they are firmly in the past. Any suggestions on bars where there´s a more mature crowd? My usual thing is to see if I can find a bar where there´s some live music on (covers rather than the leading edge of contemporary new stuff) so something like that would be interesting although I am open to other ideas. Short notice as I said but what the heck. Cheers.

I´m a psychotherapist and writer from Germany travelling South America- I´ll arrive in Asuncion about the 5th November 03 and plan to stay there for a couple of days. Would any local care to meet me and maybe show and tell me a bit about the town? I also speak some Spanish (though worse than English).

Any tips would be appreciated. Do you know of any excellent restaurants? How does the city compare to other Latin American cities? Thanks!
