Uruguay: Security:

Physical security is rarely a problem. Theft can be depending on your location. A couple of dogs is always a good idea.

Uruguay: Language:

A lot depends on you. I've seen people with no spanish do just fine and people with passable spanish struggle.

Uruguay: Feeling a bit Overwhelmed:

Agree with wanderlustspirit. don't come here to get a job, come to start a business or make an investment.

Uruguay: Expat Taxes:

I believe the non-taxable income you are referring to only applies to foreign dividend and interest income received in Uruguay when you change your fiscal residency to Uruguay. First, I highly doubt that would exempt you from paying taxes in the US on money earned from US operations. Second, foreign sourced earned income is exempt from taxes in Uruguay anyway. Third, this is just my best guess and your question should really be directed at a professional in this field. Maybe you could get Mark Teuten or Juan Fischer to answer your question for free (www.teutenabogados.com, www.fs.com.uy).

Uruguay: American and European traditions on display in Pueblo Edén:

In recognition of the Day of the Immigrant, this Sunday December 4, inaugurates the first Culture Exchange of Edén 2016 which will take place in the town square. There will be a display of traditional objects, information and enjoyment of typical foods of the participating countries: Argentina, Columbia, Spain, France, Holland, USA and Uruguay. The event takes place between 3pm and 7pm at the town of Pueblo Edén located at kilometer 30 of ruta 12 and offers the public the opportunity to learn about different cultural pastimes and participate in traditional activities. Holland, for example, will demonstrate the Koekhappen, which is a game where gingerbread is suspended by a string and the participants must try to eat the delicacy without the use of hands. The US will host three-legged races, bobbing for apples, bag races, among others and Argentina and Uruguay will demonstrate 'El Juego de la Taba' which is a game of chance popular in the rural regions of the respective countries. This event will be accompanied by music performed by the San Fernando Quartet, sponsored by the Cultural Office of the Department of Maldonado. At the same time, all the landmarks will be in operation: the House of Chocolate, Artisanal Market, the local school will have an orange juice stand and the local restaurants such as La Posta de Vaimaca, Lo de Cris and Lo de Blanco will all be open. The money raised from this festival will be to the benefit of San Isidro Labrador Chapel located next to the square and named for the patron saint of the town. The event is supported by the Office of Tourism and Culture of the Department of Maldonado as well as the Municipality of San Carlos.

Hi Jeanne, You might also try the internations site which has an employment category. Also on facebook, the 'expat buy and sell services' group would be a good place to post this.
