What is Uruguay Like? Montevideo in 8 Minutes or Less

[@CalMcKinley]

Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the video! A quick correction, the military dictatorship did not officially start until 1973, not 1968 as I said in the video. Regardless, it was a pretty crazy time in history and I highly recommend doing some research about it. Uruguay is a fascinating country. If you want a more comprehensive guide on what you SHOULD do while in Uruguay check out my write up here www.golocaltips.com/montevideo cheers guys! -cal

[@DjNicoA]

Cal McKinley Hi, you should also correct the fact that Mujica did not fight against dictatorship. Mujica and Tupamaros did fight against a Government elected by the people in national elections. Tupamaros was a guerilla/terrorist organization, which decided to impose their ideas through the use of weapons against civilians. They robbed, stole, kidnapped and killed people all long before dictatorship. Thanks for the video and keep the good work.

[@fcaride]

Put your shit together do not make false porpaganda... Mujica was a terrorist

[@HugoRDuque]

Sure IT IS!. I have born in beautiful Montevideo, I became Australian citizen, I may live in the States legally, but rather prefer MY country!

[@julian-gen]

And it was only 13 years out of the 200 years as an independent country. It was an aberration, as Uruguay has always been super democratic and liberal. Actually, it was needed because communism was threatening the nation.

[@cubanguy38]

Another country that has a hypocritical government, it is true that it is an example of Democracy, as Chile is, but it is a perfect hypocrite because its government supports the Communist dictatorships of Venezuela and Cuba, the communists of the whole world.

I went to Uruguay 10 years ago, and I was thoroughly impressed by the country. I rented a car, and with no plans just drove, and visited 15 of the 19 departments in Uruguay. I had so many amazing happenstance, unorchestrated enounters with the lovely people there. Met the man, and took pictures with him, that is in the Guiness World Record book, for his collection of pencils!! I have told many people of my encounters, and have thought of myself as an unofficial liason of USA vs. Uruguay relations. I'd go back again in a heartbeat!!

Thank you for visiting, and featuring our country in your channel. Uruguay noma! as we say. I may be far away now, but my heart is always there. Unfortunately, due to an economic recession my whole family emigrated to the US in 2002; a lot of people left the country during that time. I went back in 2014, lived there for about a year and a half, and then I moved to Australia, and now the UK. I was making about 300USD a month while in Uruguay, which makes it hard to get by; even though I was working in Technical Support in English. 300 USD is close to the national minimum wage. Anyway, thanks again. Keep exploring the world. Cheers!

Close to the main crossroads in Malvin Norte, Silvia Siage runs a small store selling basic food products, items of clothing, and children's toys. But it's not easy to see the range of goods, because no one is allowed inside. Silvia serves customers through a barred window and there are grills and padlocks on every door. Life changed for Silvia one afternoon in 2010. "What happened here was just horrible. Two men came in screaming, 'We want the money, we want the money.' They didn't wait, they just shot two bullets at my husband and one at me," she says. "They were completely under the influence of drugs. I imagine it was pasta base, because that's the most common drug around here. We are completely surrounded by addicted people, and now I have to sell my products through this window."

Although Uruguay is one of the safest countries in Latin America, it has seen a rise in crime associated with narcotics. In a survey of more than 8,500 prisoners, a third said they had committed crimes under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and nearly half of those had consumed pasta base. Users may be a tiny minority, but they are often associated with theft and robbery. Although pasta base is a cheap drug at $1 or $2 a hit, addicts need multiple doses.

You need to put a banner in the video the dictatorship didn't start in 68 but in 73. What started in 1968 were the urgent safety messures to protect the nation from the terrorist attacks by the Tupamaros led among others by Mujica himself. They started as a quasy Robin-Hood Dantesque take from the rich to give to the poors sort of group in 1964 but by 1968 they had become very violent and murderous, so the government asked the army to take matters into their own hands and enhanced the security messures. In 1973 there was coup d'etat lead by then President Juan María Bordaberry which put the Army in power for more than a decade to 1985. Ironically the Tupamaros were all either exilled, in jail or six feet underground by then.

[@CalMcKinley]

Thanks for the correction, it's easy to make mistakes when making these videos and I appreciate the feedback.

[@BurnRoddy]

Nicolás Scasso No it didn't. Don't lie. You make us all look bad and as liars. Whatever the army did in 1968 was nothing compared to what they did after 1973. So please refrain yourself from lying.

[@BurnRoddy]

No. That was Gabriel Terra. And as bad as Pacheco was the house of representatives was still in place, and so were the legislative power and the constitution. NOTHING of that was present between 1973 and 1984. So you are indeed lying.

[@BurnRoddy]

Acá el único ignorante y además irrespetuoso sos vos. El que hundió al país en la pobreza no fue Pacheco, los que hundieron al país en la pobreza fueron los COLEGIADOS. El país era un caos, había hambre y miseria por todos lados y encima los Tupas matando gente inocente en redadas. Se votó a Gestido porque la gente lo quería muchísimo y se lo veía como la última esperanza. Por eso los Tupas aprovecharon para hacerse a las armas y seguir el movimiento guerrillero izquierdista que sacudía latinoamérica por aquella época. El problema fue que lo mismo que les dijo El Ché se confirmó, y era que en Uruguay no podía haber guerrilla porque no existe un proletariado masivo como el resto de América Latina, y como el Uruguay estaba fundidazo mientras los tupas fueron la novedad recibían fondos de la ETA y otros grupos, hasta participaron de operativos terroristas en otros países, secuestros y asaltos. Pero después había que pagarles a esos grupos y no había con qué. Entonces empezaron a robar y matar a gente inocente por tener más dinero pero además a gente pobre por el solo hecho de ser testigos. Y fue un efecto tipo bola de nieve. No te olvides que el discurso del MLN siempre fue la lucha de clases pero la plata de Pando jamás la devolvieron ni a los dueños ni a los niños con escorbuto que morían de hambre en la calle. La gente que creció con el discruso izquierdista no sabe que ELLOS mismos le dieron la espalda al pueblo, ELLOS se hicieron odiar porque el MLN de 1964 era una cosa totalmente distinta al MLN de 1968. Si el MLN de 1964 jamás hubiese cambiado las medidas prontas de seguridad de Pacheco nunca habrían existido. LA GENTE las pedía.

Uruguay has its shit together. The country is an excellent role model for the world when it comes to protecting the environment, respecting nature, education, health, sustainable energy, etc.

[@terex6398]

Thank you for this video, it's amazing to see tourists admire my country and culture like that. Happy you enjoyed Uruguay!

[@kmk1225]

Tere Corgatelli I know this is 4 months old and all, but I just wanted to say I love your country! From all that I've heard, seen and read about your country, it seems like a fantastic place. Economic and socially free, lovely people, excellent food, geography and culture...what more can you ask for? In all honesty, I could even see myself living there! Greetings from icy Denmark :)

[@hernanrodriguezsilvera5645]

Dear Cal: In your video there is a serious historical error, because you mention that the dictatorship in Uruguay was from 1968 to 1984, when in fact it began on June 27, 1973 and ended on March 1, 1985. Regards from Montevideo / Uruguay - from someone who was an eyewitness of those years.

Excellent video , thanks for sharing your great experience. I have done the same trip a few times but lack the editing and filming expertise you have . Keep up the good work 👍👌

Great content Cal! You’ve gained a new sub. Looking forward to watching more 🙌

Loved your video about my home country! Great images for those who plan to visit it. Quick note though: despite what Wikipedia says, Mujica and the Tupamaros started their “armed struggle “ Mao Zedong style against a democratic government... When the USA saw a leftist force fighting their way to power in yet another country, they did what they did in all Latinoamerica. They helped the military (CIA included) to get into power. And yes, then the Tupamaros kept fighting the dictatorship to get into power but Mujica was jailed for murder before that, by the democratic government. His socially advanced laws as president barely compensates for all the pain the guerrilla caused to the country... Besides this, I love your style, informative, funny and nice images. Keep it up!

[@CalMcKinley]

Glad you liked it! You have an amazing country,

[@RenanGF94]

Amazing. Such a positive video about my Country. Loved it. You just gained a new suscriber.

[@farodyne]

Nice to see you appreciated your visit in our small and slightly crazy country. If you ever return, try to keep going east after Punta del Este. That is really where you will find the soul and spirit of Uruguay (in my own personal opinion). Visit José Ignacio, La Paloma, Barra de Valizas, Cabo Polonio, Aguas Dulces and Punta del Diablo. On your way back, don't forget to visit Piriápolis and two extremely beautiful areas which area Punta Colorada and Punta Negra. Great surfing beaches! Keep enjoying! =)

to me in europe, uruguay seems like posh argentina, like the rich cousin

interesting video of uruguay!!!

Thanks for providing more info. I was there in Feb 2019 for two days and became intrigued.

[@timprosser186]

That video was good. No bullshit, to the point with just enough information to keep the viewer both interested and entertained. Well done, quite enjoyable and thus congratulations are in order.

[@CalMcKinley]

Thanks! glad you liked it.

[@sofiaborrelli8101]

Hi! Great video! I just wanted to clarify that Mujica DID NOT fight against the dictatorial regime. He was a terrorist that was incarcerated before the regime started. He and the terrorist group he was a part of were responsible for lots of terrorist attacks on our country, some of them even claimed the lives of innocent people.

[@laoda742]

see that you're traveling alone, cool ! i never dare to move alone to other countries...thanks for the video, nice place, love it. maybe i'll go there with my friends or family.

[@Juan_Hernandez_Jr.]

Love your video. Can you do a video on what you packed for your trip? I will be visiting Uruguay in January 2018.

[@danielmoreira6963]

What do u think about my country now?

[@diegosilberstein3470]

Thanks for making this video man!

[@DrLynch2009]

First thing wrong, the military dictatorship started in 1973 not 1968, Mujica didn't figth the military rule becouse by 1972 he was in jail after a decade of terrorist operations against two democratically elected governments. Also Mujica is ranked amonst the worst presidents in the last 30 years, mostly becouse he achived NOTHING during his goverment aside from tripling the national external debt, allowing the bankruptcy of the national airline, mismanaging the finances of the national petroleum company, forgive the debt to the largest tax evader in the country and leaving office with a 3% fiscal deficit for wich the cuarrent goverment had to rise the taxes 8% TWICE in the last two years.

[@edstar83]

He was a communist.

[@Valentinl982]

The largest evader a.k.a Paco Casal jajajajaja

thats why uruguay is the country whit less homeless people per capita from south america. rich people hate him and thats nice for me

[@edstar83]

@@lucho1limte No smart people hate him, liberals love him because they have no clue. Uruguay has always had a pretty good standard of living and Education system. This jewish puppet actually made things worse. Everything is more expensive. People are complaining he's the worse President they've ever had. Gee I wonder why?
