Which real Uruguay want them to show?? It is their real life no other than that!!!

[@MaddieinMVD]

ok now i'm confused?

[@smallclipsentertainment9668]

Hey maddie & Ale I am moving Uruguay first time within a month for working purpose for 2 years. Do you guys want to suggest me something. 😊

[@MaddieinMVD]

first of all, how exciting! and that depends a lot on what you already know / what you plan to do? Do you have accommodation set up already? if so in what neighbourhood? and is your job helping with the transition? I have an English student who moved to Montevideo from Mexico, and he adjusted really quickly because of help from his colleagues, and of course there was less of a language barrier than for us! However if you are trying to figure everything out yourself with banking, housing etc, it can be a real challenge

Happy new year 🎊🎊 all the best for you

[@MaddieinMVD]

thankyou, and to you too!

[@maximusmiles8435]

Just curious. Why do homes have bars on the windows and doors? Is it decoration, or is home invasion a thing there?

[@roystokes8435]

Yes burglaries are common in Uruguay, well depending on the neighbourhood I guess.

[@maximusmiles8435]

In the city at least in all the videos I've watch. They seem to be on every house. Except for in the rural areas. @@roystokes8435

[@roystokes8435]

Yea I think anyone who owns a house ends up getting those bars generally speaking, even if it's a not so dangerous neighbourhood. I guess the criminals move all over the city looking for vulnerable houses @@maximusmiles8435

[@MaddieinMVD]

Honestly, every home we have lived in has bars on the windows and / or roller shutters for security purposes! even all of the ones we toured almost all had barred windows. I haven't heard of anyone who has been burgled... but it's better to be on the safe side! As an Australian the bars do bother me aesthetically speaking, but Alejandro is south african, so if the house isn't surrounded by barbed wire and an armed guard, its pretty chill in his eyes!
