Uruguay: 10 Tips for Living in Uruguay:

Hello, I stayed in Urugauay(Punta Del Este) for 3 months.1- Pay attention to the signs that say drive with your lights on! I got a ticket for that one! You really don't want to deal with the ticket! 2-Buy the local Tannant wine! It is REALLY cheap and VERY good!3- Watch your hot water consumption. I got nailed for some SUPER HIGH electricity bills mainly from hot water use!!4- My 5 year old daughter came down with a double ear infection, emergency visit to a clinic, 2 prescriptions, a second doctor came in who was on call and the cost for all of this........$52.00 US!! Incrediblly good care and great doctors who treated my family very well!! 5- Security, house got broken into during carnival- tore the safe out of the wall(it was bolted down) gone in 60 seconds. House did have an alarm that was armed!! Thieves have some skill! If you plan on staying long try to open a bank account so you can get a safety deposit box! Then you should be able to wire transfer in a large some of money and not get hit with all of the ATM fees! They add up quickly! 6- I LOVED URUGUAY! We are trying to figure out a way to get back. Just can't figure out a way to make money down there:( Hope my info helps people out. C

Uruguay: Contemplating a move to Uruguay:

Hello to all, My family, wife and 2 children ages 5 and 7 will be in Uruguay for 3 months to "try-out" Uruguay. We want to offer our children an chance to live in a new culture and enjoy the adventure ourselves. We will be in Costa Rica first but I have concerns about the level of crime, lack of infrastructure, and a general attitude of lets take advantage of the gringo that seems to be in Costa Rica. I have been there before and enjoyed it but to LIVE there may be another story. I have read allot about Uruguay and think it might be a good fit. Any thoughts anyone may have on our adventure please sound off!! I would really like to hear from you. Thank you in advance, Cory
