Most expats have "dreams" (and fears) about the expatriate experience before they move abroad.

Here is an article about this topic. I moved back to Canada after a year in Montevideo, Uruguay. http://vanderleelie.hubpages.com/hub/expatconfessions

Did you leave because of disappointment or because you were there for a limited time and your time was up?
Regards

We are a retired Canadian couple who had planned to stay in Montevideo, Uruguay after purchasing a house there. We found the city and the society posed many challenges: it was a daily struggle to live in a place generally hostile to foreigners, dirty, noisy, crime-ridden and expensive. Political and economic factors are putting pressure on Uruguay, and changing both urban and rural environments. A year was long enough for us and we gladly returned to Canada.

I am from the US and have been living in Uruguay for six years. It is true that Uruguay is no longer inexpensive. It is also true that there are a lot of external political and economic pressures on the country. Your observation that Uruguay is generally hostile to foreigners is not most peoples' experience. Uruguay has a population of 3.3 million people and last year it had 3 million tourists. The number grows each year. Most people I know report that Uruguayans are generally warm and tolerant to foreigners. Also, as far as being dirty, noisy, and crime ridden - I am sure all those things exist, but they are not characteristic of the country. Compared to what other Latin American country? I am sorry you had a bad experience - but there are a lot of Canadians who have moved to Uruguay who have stayed and love it. In fact the government of Uruguay is overwhelmed with people seeking people residency here.
