As a Canadian, I’m the exact opposite.

However, I did come back recently from a 3 week vacation in Thailand recently and I can identify everything said about humidity. I went there with the idea of considering it as a potential expat spot. The heat & humidity over there is absolutely draining! That in itself is a big reason I don’t think I would like to make a permanent move over there. There are other complicating factors like a new crackdown on foreign visa holders. This plus the BS visa runs once per month add to my decision of not choosing Thailand.

I like what I read of Uruguay so far. I’ve read lots about other spots in Asia and South America. I am seriously considering Uruguay as my next vacation spot to scope things out. I have bought the Southron’s E-book recently. Half done reading it so far. Tons of good info. I really enjoy his sense of humor too. Quite self-deprecating at times.

From what I’ve learned so far, it looks like Uruguay has most of the things I’m looking for in a country. Good prices, great weather (compared to home), locals who don’t see you as a tool to take advantage of, nice and quiet, etc…

I look forward to learning even more about Uruguay in the next few months.

If (when) I go down, I hope to meet the Southron too!
