Uruguay: Metal bars on windows:

A lot of homes have them, but why ?

Uruguay: Housing prices to rise:

There was talk of the government legislating to prevent foreigners buying land. Any idea what came of this ?

Uruguay: Gluten free/vegan/vegetarian in URuguay:

Wow, great post. It's exciting to hear about veganism becoming popular in UY. I am still in the UK and I can tell you that interest in vegan products has skyrocketed in the past couple of years. It seems every town has its own vegan fair at least once a year. This was unheard of 5 years ago. The supermarkets are constantly introducing new products to satisfy the demand in vegan products. Some stores are even commenting that they sell more cartons of nut milk than dairy milk. I try to be healthy and eat whole foods, but if I want to I can easily get my hands on ice-cream, cake, cheese, hot-dogs, the list is endless. Im sure the market for these products exists in UY. There is a business opportunity there for niche food manufacturers, particularly when, as you say, imported goods are so expensive. Food for thought !

Uruguay: Solar Water Heating:

I would also like some info on this. If I do move to Uruguay and get a motorhome, I would like to make it as off-grid as possible. I was wondering if panels ever get stolen ? And are there grants available to encourage people to invest in solar ?

Uruguay: Moving to Uruguay!:

My new fave website for Uruguayan classifieds : http://www.mercadolibre.com.uy/inmuebles/ PS. If you are there the same time as me and your wife cooks vegan-friendly dishes, I will defo pay you a visit ;O)

Uruguay: Thinking of moving to Uruguay and living in a motorhome:

Thanks all for your comments. I wonder why motorhomes are not common in Uruguay ? It seems a good way to live in a country where house prices are still quite high and the roads are generally good.... I wouldn't bother importing a vehicle. I would buy one in Uruguay. I might consider buying an old bus and converting it into a home. I think Uruguay is a good place to undertake a project like that as there are so many people who are skilled people. Uruguayans are good at fixing things ! This looks like a great project : http://vehiculo.mercadolibre.com.uy/MLU-435912938-omnibus-ingles-de-2-pisos-unico-en-uruguay-_JM

Uruguay: Black Man And Family Looking To Move From USA To Uruguay:

Judging by your some of your comments, I am sure Uruguay will disappoint you. Please stay in your own country or find some other place to go. Cheers
