The best lifestyle in the world for the price… This is the journal of The Southron, an American Emigrant from Florida who has spent the last decade living in the West Indies, former Yugoslavia and Costa Rica. He moved to Montevideo, Uruguay at the end of February 2006... |

Today the most noticeable sign of Spring occurs, Summer Time is here.
If you are living in Uruguay, and have not already done so, you need to change your clocks so that it is ONE HOUR LATER.
A young man who had just moved here from Novsibirsk in Russian Siberia me told me that he found the Internet in Uruguay to be “inexpensive, reliable and fast”…
A short time ago Enzo wrote to me and proposed the creation of a bulletin board as a vehicle for more open and free wheeling exchange within our nascent community.

On the 29th day of every month, a huge proportion of Uruguayans eat Ñoquis. There is also a custom associated with the eating of ñoquis–Uruguayans put a coin under the plate before you eat them and this is supposed to bring you money in the next month. Some civil servants are called ñoquis too.
Please send your comments good or bad, including any details, how much you paid, internet availability, etc to southron@uruguayliving.com so it can be organized and published.
We have been working directly with the Immigration Department and the Foreign Ministry in order to get a visa for one of our key employees to move here from former Yugoslavia. Everyone in the government here has been wonderful, and the Honorary Consul of Uruguay in Hungary has been incredible. Everything was set for the visa approval to be issued this week and our employee to be here next week.
Then we were stopped dead in our tracks.
For those of us who need the occasional foray into the evening drinking establishments, Montevideo is both adequate and has multiple offerings. In terms of an 'expat' scene there is not a specific place in Montevideo that I know of as an “expat hangout”. Generally speaking, nightlife in Montevideo starts Thursday and finishes Sunday morning.
I have it on good authority that The Southron and at least one or two other members of this blog community will be there for sure this coming Sunday 1 October to Celebrate the Beginning of Uruguay Summer Time.
PEOPLE ARE BEING SENT TO MONTEVIDEO FROM INTERNATIONAL LIVING’S “URUGUAY EXPERTS” (in BA of course) AND ARE EXPECTING TO FIND APARTMENTS ON THE RAMBLA FOR U$S20,000!
I am just never happy with things the way they are–I always see at least 5 or 6 ways to make them better. That is sort of how this blog started. And, since it is part of my nature, I have added a few things.
