There’s a law in Uruguay about how much salt restaurants can use in their plates, and how they aren’t allowed to have salt shakers on the table. (In regard to the salt packet you mentioned)

[@terrencefoley509]

This is a really cool thing about Uruguay. As someone in the US who uses way too much salt, it's really been helping me see how easily I can cut down on salt. At the same time, no one gives you any grief if you ask for a salt shaker. There are a number of health initiatives like this in Uruguay. Smoking is also banned indoors. I found relatively few people smoking anywhere in Uruguay. (Unlike France where, while I saw no one smoking indoors, I often saw people with a cigarette in mouth and lighter in hand waiting for the tram to stop & open its doors so they could exit & light up at the same time.) It's a really nice country. Lots of younger people. Lots of people having babies. Everyone seems well educated. Even the rougher street people seem polite & non threatening. I had no fear of violence at night while I was there. One other thing......I didn't check this exactly, but it seemed to me that taxies & Ubers were incredibly cheap in Montevideo. It seemed they were 1/2 or less than taxis in the US. I took a number of taxis, admittedly for only a few blocks, that only cost 80-100UY. I kept giving the drivers 100UY tips because it seemed so cheap, and 100UY was the smallest bill I had. I had to go to the currency exchange at least twice a week because when you change $100-200US, they give you 1000UY bills. You have to ask for 100UY bills & they will only give you 5-10 of them. The exchange cashier always complains that they will run out of 100UY bills if they give you all you ask for.

176,000 sq km isn’t exactly “tiny”. That said, Uruguay is also arguably the safest country in Latin America.

[@lauruguayitausa]

So true! England is smaller!

[@fedetuber5620]

En Uruguay se habla español y los turistas que visitan el país son en su mayoría de países como Argentina y Brasil, los turistas extranjeros que no hablan español son muy pocos, es por eso que la población uruguaya no sabe hablar en inglés y a decir verdad no estamos obligados a saber un mínimo de inglés Buen vídeo, espero que te haya gustado mi país a pesar que es muy caro

[@Z33-t6d]

soy gringo y te digo que muchos gringos turistas no traten de hablar el idioma del pais a donde viajan. sin embargo, yo vivia por unos meses en chile de intercambio, y trate de hablar en espanol la mayoridad del tiempo, aunque el espanol de chile es realmente otra cosa jaja (mejoraba mas mi acento que la gramatica). bueno, ojala algun dia ir a uruguay, y como me encanta el futbol, asado, y mate, creo que me va a gustarlo mucho! saludos

[@CoolDeathLight]

pero las clases de ingles son requeridas en colegios publicos y privados, por lo que me acuerdo yo, me fui del pais hace 7 años pero mi prima aprendio ingles en el publico y yo aprendi en el privado.

[@CoolDeathLight]

yo diria que eso no fue asi siempre igual, osea hay gente mayor que nunca se les enseño pero yo tengo 24 y se me enseño desde la escuela hasta el liceo

I was surprised that you mentioned the lack of speaking english. Uruguay is the most educated country in south america and english a second language is mandated. Most people speak a good bit of english, especially in Montevideo.

[@jon6309]

I heard good things about this country! I live in Hawaii and heard this country is expensive in comparison to Panama but watching this video it seems cheaper than Panama. I guess you were going for high end places in Panama but as a local in Hawaii the prices are kind of comparable for local things to do not tourist things

[@Alfonso162008]

I don't know Uruguay as a whole, but I do know that Montevideo is a pretty expensive place to live (if I'm not mistaken, one of the most expensive in South America, or even Latin America, but my memory may be kinda foggy on that one). Of course, if you come here with a salary in dollars, then the whole experience might be different for you. Though the most touristy places can be kinda abusive with its prices, especially around the summer season, so beware of that if you end up coming here.

[@leplane_]

You may want to check my comment above. Relocated here from Alabama, and I'm looking to check out asap. At times I feel like I landed in Monaco with these crazy prices. I'm spending as much or more as I did in the states. Beautiful country yes, but it's like their goverment only wants very wealthy people to move in, which is fine, but we have options too. Everything, from grocery, to basic things you need, expect to pay two to three times more than back in the states. Only a few things are actually cheaper than the states.

[@ogochalo111]

Uruguay is also one of the stable economy in Latin America

[@robert-zg8or]

The walking tour sounds great. Better get my spanish reviewed. However there are so many spanishes. It different country to country . So guys if you are just learning, and planning to go to a specific country, be sure that countries spanish is what you study.

$5 is a bit on the stingy side given a lunch is $11. I think a free lunch for the walking tour is a good benchmark (in Europe, most tours expect at least 10euros. Its easy to find sub10 lunch places in central or east Europe)

[@YoLo-sq8kq]

but if the group is 10 people, the guide receives $100 for a one hour job? Sounds like highway robbery.

[@toniangelo555]

It is a quiet place, and more peaceful than Colombia

[@leplane_]

I watched a video where the author stated that you can eat out 3 times a day, in the Philippines, for only $10. In southern Spain I was eating out for a fraction of what they charge me here in Uruguay. Don't get me wrong, food is equally good. Nothing like the junk we have in the states! But Uruguay is only good for a certain group of expats, usually affluent. Why? Let's say you are on SS, or you're a freelancer, and you earn south of $1.5-2k a month, you're better off in Argentina, Colombia, or Brazil. You'll be able to save in those countries vs in Uruguay. For everybody else making north of $2700, Uruguay is a great destination. You'll have enough disposable income to enjoy the country, rent a decent place in a good area, and save.

[@amanzaildar199015]

You should go to punta del este in uruguay its very expensive and people say its monaco of south america

Hay videos de chilenos comparando los precios de un supermercado en chile con uno en suiza, y la mayoría de cosas salían lo mismo o casi lo mismo, lo que es una locura considerando la abismal diferencia entre los ingresos medios en un país y el otro.

What is the best country to retire to for a single American senior citizen living off a modest social security remittance -- Argentina, Chile, or Uruguay?

[@leplane_]

You probably found a place by now, since your comment is several months old, but if you're still looking, I'd check south of Argentina. Away from the troubles and crime elsewhere in that country. I also have a modest income. Uruguay is just too darn expensive. Moved here from Alabama, and I'm disappointed with the overall cost of living. Some things are a bit cheaper than back home, like rent, or healthcare, but it's all offset by the high price of everything else. I know of Americans who, in the summer, move to Argentina because it's far cheaper than Uruguay. In part due to the devaluation of their currency, which is great if you earn income in dollars. Uruguay becomes un-affordable to most Americans in the summer as lots of tourists flock in. Uruguay is pretty modern, but we're still talking about a developing nation that's as expensive as some wealthy western countries. So, consider Argentina or Brazil. Or go across the pond to Europe. Albania, Montenegro, Georgia. These countries are not only cheaper than Uruguay, but far more safer. They have some of the lowest crime rates in Europe.
