For months there has been a discussion regarding rules on bringing household goods into Uruguay duty-free. As usual, there are many conflicting sources–even among the various websites hosted by the Uruguayan government and its consulates in various countries.
Attorney Mark Teuten graciously volunteered to do the legal research for us and provide us with a definitive […]
There are several stories that I started and not completed for one reason or another. Now, I can provide a least a few answers.
A Corporal Work of Mercy: You may remember the taxi driver that was killed: and that we collected about $350 for his widow and children. It took several months, help from friendly […]
After months of waiting, the printed version of “The Southron’s Guide to Living in Uruguay” is finally available online at: http://www.lulu.com/content/579686.
This is a full-sized, 8½ x 11 inch paper back, with color covers and black-and-white inside. Because of its large size is much easier to read than the pocket-sized edition produced locally. The price for […]
A few of my more astute readers may have noticed that I have not published much in the blog over the last nine days. For some this is been a tremendous service, as it has helped them develop their own creative talents; the result of which has been rumors of my death, dismemberment, deportation, hospitalization, […]

Last week I reported to you that I had found a new home in Pocitos, in which I would be firmly ensconced by tomorrow. Boy was I wrong! This past Monday I found out that the only way I can put air conditioners in the new house is to install new electrical mains and completely […]
Well, it looks like I’m not going to be homeless for Christmas. I would prefer certainly prefer to visit the manger during midnight liturgy than to have to live in it. They say all good things come to those who wait, and in this case at least it is true.
We found a great house […]
There is at least one experience that almost every expat who has moved here shares–the agony of finding a place to live. Some how the slower pace at which things happen is not so much fun when you are living out of a suitcase in a hotel; or in my case, have family coming for […]
Trying to rent a house has NOT been the high point of my life in Uruguay.
