Hola. Con respecto a lo que te paso con el dron tiene su razón. En esa zona no se permiten los drones porque esta el edificio de la presidencia. Ese edificio de vidrio es donde esta el Presidente del Uruguay. Teníamos un problema de plagas con las palomas en las plazas entonces se comenzó un programa de cetrería , se introducen aves de rapiña para controlar las colonias de palomas. Y a la par se vio que estas aves también atacan a los drones,por eso siguen estando en la plaza Independencia y no en otras plazas. Hello. Regarding what happened to you with the drone, there is a reason. Drones are not allowed in that area because it is the presidency building. That glass building is where the President of Uruguay is. We had a pest problem with pigeons in the squares so a falconry program began, birds of prey were introduced to control the pigeon colonies. And at the same time it was seen that these birds also attack drones, which is why they are still in Independencia Square and not in other squares.

[@zaclang6472]

I lived in Uruguay for 3 years back in the 80's - it looks much the same! Your video brought back good memories - there in the cafe, man, - it could have been 1988!. Yerba Mate actually gives you a slight narcotic buzz if you keep on drinking it - it doesn't get you high, or stoned, or wrecked, but it definitely stimulates - and it makes you think differently about things and focuses your attention on stuff, but you need quite a few refills to get there, hence the flasks! One thing I didn't see was the political posters everywhere, which is a great improvement - the leftist parties used to really degrade the city with literally millions of posters pasted on the walls, beautiful old buildings, the sides of fountains and the plinths of statues all would get defaced - it seems they no longer do that. Uruguay was really safe too, a very non-violent population (when I was there). It's also as flat as a pancake - its highest point only being 500 meters above sea level. It was hard to make a good living there though, all your basic needs would be covered on a local salary, but it's really difficult to start with nothing - for an average Joe there's no surplus of funds, so you can't save nor invest and car ownership is for the middle classes, - or at least, that's the way it was when I was there. After a few years I just felt as if I were on a treadmill - lots of work, but not advancing, so I had to leave. It wasn't always like that though, I think between 1900-1960, the economy was good, and I hope its in better times now.

[@leplane_]

@@pinnacleroofing9841 Agreed, though I'll say that it depends on where you're looking for properties. I found them cheaper than in the states or at least you get more bang for your bucks here. Almost everything else it's just as expensive as the US though. For example, a cup of capuccino at the coffee shop rounds out to about 4-5 bucks, that's what I was paying in the states. Eating out it's not cheap, maybe the small street vendors are cheaper. Getting things imported from abroad is also extremely expensive. Argentina IS cheap however, but it's got its cons and pros, like everything.

Good overview, and quite accurate. Just a couple of things. What you were drinking was Grappa Miel not grappa. It is a liqueur made by adding honey to grappa. You can order traditional grappa as well and you will find it identical to the Italian original. As far as your lunch, I think there may have been some communication issues. The lettuce on your plate was simply a garnish, if you order a salad with your meal you get a traditional salad. You could have also ordered other sides as well. I've never seen anyone get plain rice as a side in a restaurant in Uruguay. As far as mate goes...well it's a national obsession (much like football) that is unmatched even in other mate drinking nations such as Argentina. You can go into a restaurant and ask for hot water and they will happily fill your thermos. There are even vending machines that disperse hot water. It is drunk in all seasons, at all times of day and locations. You will even find it being drunk by politicians while at the national legislature during debates.

re: maté, you do actually move the bombilla. It depends on the person serving but all the old timers including my Uruguayan parents move the bombilla to get varying degrees of maté flavor intensity. Whoever told you they don't move the Bonilla was probably talking about their own particular style or they're just not good at it. Like eggs, many, many people make eggs but I've had terrible eggs and delicious eggs... I happen to make delicious eggs of course. I've had people serve me amazing maté and of course, terrible maté and it all comes down to how you manage water and bombilla placement and how you tend to the llerba throughout the process... it's all about the process since there's obviously only two ingredients for the most part.

@@Coyote27981 I was just in Uruguay visiting family and there were several different styles of prepping and serving and moving or not moving the bombilla.

We were informed by our tour guide for the Recoleta Cemetary that Visa pays the blue dollar rate. We had to pay by card to enter the Recoleta Cemetary as they don't accept cash. I used my Visa card and discovered that I was only charged GBP 4.74 entrance fee to the Recoleta Cemetery. I then started to use my Visa card and discovered that I was getting an exchange rate of AR$340 to 1 US$. Which is not too different from the current blue rate of AR$380 to 1 US$.

The first large building in your video is what we call the University of the Republic, which, by the way is free as the rest of the education right from kinder garden. Of course there are private options on all levels for the ones who decide to pay for it. Go figure. You should have gone to Mercado del Puerto located by the Montevideo harbor. The foods( and grilled meats) are out of this world. Another thing : although Uruguay export high quality rice, Uruguayans are not too crazy about it though it is consumed there, not as much as pasta which is another very important staple in our diet. You don't seem to have tried pizza which is something to make a video about it. Regarding of how expensive Uruguay could be compared to other Latin American countries, one has to consider what one gets in terms of quality. You can make it more affordable if you stay with some locals and live like they do. No country in the world can give you all they can offer if you just go there for a few days, Uruguay is not exception. By the way : Uruguay is the second smallest country in S.

Fortunately, Uruguay was never a “socialist” country, it has always been opened to the free market system. The fact that the economy wasn’t that liberalised doesn’t mean it was a socialist State.

He may have read social democracy and got confused because of that.

Uruguay should not try to let billionaires control their country like Usa . Uruguays gov protected them from forced vaccines. Uruguay is for the worker . Usa is for the billionaire investor. Uruguay has not yet and should not sell out . Usa belongs entirely to billionaires now . Everyone else is working for them and poor .

Why, wasn't the Frente Amplio a combination of "socialists and communists"? Did you forget about that?

Oh... Everything is great now!! what a contrast to the shithole it was back in the 1970s when I lived there.

I can imagine...my first trip was in 88 and it has gotten a lot better since then. It's a calm beautiful and fairly safe place to go.

Luis Suarez is world renowned for being one of the best footballers of all time. Not just for one handball and biting

[@kaypie3112]

LOL One of the best of all time? Please. Maybe the best Player from Uruguay of all time, but quite a stretch to label him “one of the best of all time”

[@jacquelinea.7575]

@@kaypie3112 Ask Barcelona and Liverpool fans, among other teams he played, to see if they agree with u… 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kaypie3112]

@@jacquelinea.7575 I don’t need to. I’m a Barca fan. They have had many, many great players. Suarez would have trouble cracking the top ten over there. As for Liverpool, Steven Gerrard is just example of a guy who was better than Luis Suarez six days a week and twice on Sunday. I’m not saying Suarez isn’t/wasn’t talented. The original poster claims Suarez is “one of the best of all time.” I wouldn’t go that far- that’s all I’m saying.

[@jacquelinea.7575]

@@kaypie3112 o I can see! You are a Barca client! Not a fan! A fan is someone who was born there and that is the club of there love and believe me I have friends from Barcelona and there opinion totally differs from yours.

[@RedScareClair]

@@kaypie3112 they didn't play the same position so not really a great comparison. Different position, different styles, very different personalities. Further, Gerrard is a Scouser. You kind of highlighted why Uruguayans would be high on Vampiro and high Liverpool fans would be high on Gerrard.
