Though thousands of miles apart, China and Paraguay share surprising similarities in their food cultures, traditional medicine and everyday life. In this episode, host Pablo Coppari joins Yehimy Alison, a Paraguayan cultural figure who has visited China, to explore Market 4 in Asunción, Paraguay's capital. They meet local herbal vendors to learn about generations-old knowledge of medicinal plants, discover Paraguay's rich herbal traditions, and sample tereré, a distinctive drink made with yerba mate, alongside local street food.

From traditional Chinese medicine to Paraguay's herbal wisdom, and from language habits to everyday customs, Yehimy offers a Paraguayan perspective on Chinese society and culture. Through this cross-cultural exchange, the two uncover unexpected connections that bring Chinese and Paraguayan cultures closer together.
