As an Uruguayan that lives overseas and have visited many cities and countries around the world, I do agree that Montevideo is definitely under rated.

[@TouristtoLocal]

What a charming place it is. We feel so lucky we got to explore it!

[@mariorico440]

​@@TouristtoLocalI never been in Montevideo is it a safe city for visitors? Is it expensive compared to other countries? What is your opinion?

[@Karinna360]

@@mariorico440 It is expensive. But it will depends mostly where you come from to how you will find the prices. For me coming for US, Uruguay is a little cheaper. Hotels are less expensive, Restarants are less expensive and specially tourist attractions are more affordable. If you come for Latin American, you will find everything expensive.

As a Uruguayan living abroad for a while, I would say Uruguay is a wonderful place to meet interesting and kind people, admire beautiful architecture, and enjoy stunning landscapes. I miss my country a lot

[@TouristtoLocal]

It's a beautiful country - we can definitely see why you miss it!

I didn't realize how much was involved with mate, it was cool seeing the people in your video handing the mate to someone while holding the thermos of hot water. It's really pretty in Montevideo and the food looks wonderful!

[@TouristtoLocal]

Right?! It’s much more than “just drinking tea”. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@ParisianThinker]

What is Mate? Are there any health benefits to drinking it?

[@cindyk3076]

@@ParisianThinker It is an herbal tea. Drinking mate in many cultures is done for social interaction. Some studies suggest that the tea may have helpful effects on cholesterol, weight loss, the heart, swelling called inflammation and cancer risk. But more research is needed to confirm these links.

[@vivianagambetta9197]

​@@ParisianThinkerit is a cultural drink, it is like tea for British people, everybody drinks mate here, it was an aborigen ritual, when Europeans colonized this land adopted that drink,, it is like drinking coffee for Turkish or Italian. There are not enough scientific papers to say if it is really healthy, as it is not a drink widely spread around the world. It is drunk in some places of Argentina,, south of Brazil and Paraguay. But Uruguay is the country that has the highest amount of people who drink it

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

Excellent video. I made notes for when I'm there in November. I'm definitely going to find Olga. BTW, don't worry about offending anyone by saying "soccer". Different languages have different words for the same thing. That's how languages work. You're speaking American English, and the word is "soccer". If someone wants you to use British English, ask them whether they say "biscuit" for what Americans call a "cookie". "Crisps" or "chips"? "Chips" or "fries"? "Lorry" or "truck"? "Bonnet" or "hood"? ""Boot" or "trunk"? Car park" or "parking lot"? And on, and on, and on.

Re the healthcare. It sounds great. However, for seniors who wish to emigrate there (including me), there's a catch. Healthcare is provided by co-ops, each of which is affiliated with a hospital. If you're 65 or older, you can't qualify to join one of those co-ops.

[@Fine-Tuning123]

Beautiful video. I've always wanted to visit the country, since discovering yerba mate. m8 s20 ,,,,,, it's only now that you mentioned it, that I started thinking differently: I too thought that fining people to go and vote was a weird undemocratic thing to do. But, if you think of all the totalitarian regimes the world has been experimenting with (Nazism, Communism, Socialism, Jihadism, Fascism.... to which we're going back...) or if you think back to the Middle Ages... you'll realize democracy (bend and broken, correct) is still the best thing we have. So yes, it is Mandatory to maintain Democracy. There has been no other political current that proved to be better than democracy. So we need to continue to be free (or free-er than others), democratic, and work on improving Democracy. Fine those who deny the importance of democracy ...since they cannot come up with a better solution anyway..

[@Klauss_18]

Exactly!! As an uruguayan I've always been told that Democracy is as much an obligation as it is a right. And i completely agree, it is a beautiful thing to go vote and exercise you rights and duty. I really dont understand how could someone would not go vote. Even if you don't like any candidates you can show that by voting blank or annulled. It is important to make your voice and opinions heard. I hope you can visit us soon!!

[@efmar138]

El voto debe ser obligatorio! Hay derechos, pero también obligaciones!

[@richlisola1]

Not voting is as much a choice as voting-Voting was meant to be a right not a fineable offense.

We enjoyed Uruguay. I think it is very sad and disturbing in centro historico Montevideo the amount of destructive graffiti of colonial buildings. When speaking to a younger woman expat from the usa, she claimed it is a " clash of cultures". What " culture " defines itself by adding nothing and defaceing other cultures. Very disrespectful and a detriment to tourism.
