During the 27 months I was in Costa Rica I was cheated, scammed and lied to by so many people that it is hard to keep track. However, the misadventure that is foremost in my mind happened almost immediately after my arrival there. It was my first encounter with a real live cannibal. One of [...]
This post is only useful for citizens and refugees from the USA (and the occupied Confederacy). The big question is how do we keep our US$80,000 exclusion on earned income without running afoul of Uruguay’s new personal income tax. I wrote about that previously in Avoiding the US/UY tax trap… As you may know, my [...]
Today marks the 10th Fourth of July since I moved outside the United States. Over the years I have been questioned about that move and about my continued foreign residence. It all started for business purposes. But over the years, I became more distant from the US—each time I returned it felt more and more [...]

In what some will undoubtedly see as yet another nefarious attempt to Anglicize Uruguayan society, to UruguayLiving.com gang will be sponsoring a “Cinco de Mayo†party on Saturday, May 5, starting at 6 p.m., at our offices in Buceo. Appropriate Mexican food and drinks will be served. Please feel free to bring along any of [...]
Starting NOW, The Uruguay Living & Sociedad Southron gang will be trying a new location that hopefully will serve everyones needs better. It is Don Pepperone outside Montevideo Shopping. (not the one in the food court) *** It is all on one floor which helps us crips. *** It is huge. *** It has an [...]
In keeping with our rapidly developing tradition of finding any plausible reason to throw a party, the UruguayLiving crowd will be hosting a Saint Patrick’s Day party at our new offices this Saturday beginning at 9PM.
