The river? Contaminated since they don't have sewer system. The best place to go according to locals? The mall. Want to go anywhere else in Paraguay? It'll take you ages due to a lack of infrastructure.

It’s interesting how malls have mostly died in America but are still a huge thing in many countries, especially ones that have become more developed in the last couple of decades.

Really? This sounds very interesting, as the USA is the place that i would expect to have the most malls.

Since online shopping took over, why would Americans travel long distances by car to go to the mall?

Some things are still a lot easier to buy in-person, like books and clothes. Online stores rarely have enough information about the product, either as a whole (materials, specs, etc) or as an instance (wear and tear, etc).
