Some Forum Posts:

Uruguay: Meeting German Speakers in Uruguay:

Gruezi, I am Swiss and living since February 2015 in Montevideo. The easiest you can reach me is at our Japanese restaurant pequeñITO at Luis de la Torre 831bis or on FB. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Uruguay: Looking for Someone Who Does a Great Job of Helping Retired Americans With the Immigration Process?:

In our case - a Swiss/Japanese couple - we had amazing support from an Uruguayan National for getting us started with the immigration & visa, business registration, apartment hunting... from our lawyer, who became our friend as well. We were extremely pleased with the speed, honest and direct communication, plus we are still employing her for any legal or notary needs we have. Send me a message and I can provide you the contact details. About the fees I cannot give a good answer, because it depends on your needs, but there is a hourly flat rate, which seems to me very fair.

Uruguay: Health Food Stores in Montevideo:

I cannot answer it for the vitamins, but have you visited Mercado Verde in Punta Carretas or then more widely available most Disco stores have now as well an organic section. For sure Disco is online, plus I have seen the twitter Account of Mercado Verde.

Uruguay: Sushi in Montevideo:

How wonderful to see that there is more and more Japanese food or Sushi in Montevideo! Definitely a big Konichi wa and Yoroshiku from the pequeñITO team (http://pequenitouruguay.com/)! Although Kazuo is Japanese trained Sushi Master, we are focusing for the moment more on Washoku (traditional Japanese food with respect to health and nature) and offer catering services, PICK UP days option and since this week as well EAT IN for the typical Japanese soul food Nabe. For sure we are happy to see this trend for more authentic Japanese taste to Uruguay. Ganbarimashou (let's work together for the same goal) and arigatou for the post. The pequeñITO team :)

Uruguay: Adult Language Institutes:

Although in Ciudad Vieja, I recommend http://www.spanishuruguay.com/. I really enjoyed their lessons and flexibility in adjusting to our needs.

Uruguay: Money making ideas:

Dear Edykizaki, just for your info I came across the recent organic market in front of the Intendencia Municipal in Montevideo an interesting local manufacturer of soaps. I liked the different styles and you can check it out at www.jabonesjaia.com. I hope it is helpful for competitor research. Living abroad is definitely interesting, although sometimes challenging. I have been enjoying my life abroad for quite a while: For 7 years in Los Angeles USA, 14 years in Tokyo Japan and now after moving here in February in the process of getting our company registered in Montevideo. Good luck with everything, Sibylle

Uruguay: Selling Gold Coins:

You can find Gales on google easily: http://www.gales.com.uy/home/

Uruguay: Attorney & Realton recommendations wanted:

Dear Godeep, I had contacted and talked to several lawyers in the past that had been recommended to me. I have made my selection and I am very happy with our present lawyer, notary and accountant in Montevideo. If you are interested I can send you the contact details. Best regards, Sibylle

Uruguay: bank recommendation:

In the meantime I have arrived with my husband in Montevideo and we are getting our visa started. Soon the bank account will be next on your list. Do you have any recommendations? I have heard about possible options with Santander, Scotia Bank, BBVA and Nuevo Banco Commercial as an option. So far Santander seems interesting, but I would like to hear your feedback. Thanks for your support in advance. Sibylle

Uruguay: Brita water filter:

I am in the process of packing our goods and moving to Montevideo by end of January. One point I am not sure yet whether it is worthwhile to bring in Brita water filter/cartridges. I remember from our last visit in 2013 that the tab water was not bad, but I got used to either buy/make sparkling water or then drinking Brita filtered water. Any experiences or recommendations from those living in Montevideo? Thanks for all your support in advance.
