Panama versus Uruguay

Posted by southron on May 4th, 2008

Very early this past Thursday morning I returned home to Uruguay after a 12 day trip to Panama. I had not been there in four years and was interested to compare it to Uruguay since it had been the prime alternative to moving here.
Panama was incredible! It was the most dynamic city I […]

Uruguay versus Costa Rica: the first of occasional rantings…

Posted by southron on August 14th, 2007

One of the things that seems to amaze many of the Uruguayos I meet is that I left Costa Rica to come here.  After all, doesn’t Costa Rica have better weather?  Isn’t it a world famous Expat haven where more than 100,000 gringos have found a home?  How could anyone leave there for here?
Easy!  After […]

Bigger and even more important news!

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.

The taxman cometh???

It may not be a tough as giving birth, but it sure was a lot of work. The file was created on 22 July 2006, at 11:25:02. The last modification was made this morning (I hope). In just a few days less than 100, The Southron’s Guide to Living in Uruguay has […]

Finding a left-handed doorknob

Posted by southron on October 7th, 2006

What do you do when you want a left-handed doorknob? Or a Magic Marker? Or fried eggs sunny-side-up? Or a harness for a handicapped service dog?
Many of these things will NOT be in your phrase book, nor will they be in your PDA. And if you use the online translation from Babelfish, […]

Pitiful, scandalous and just plain stupid…

Posted by southron on September 27th, 2006

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!

Breathlessly I immediately clicked on the link to start the download. I turned away to get a drink and when I turned back, it appeared that nothing had happened. Annoyed, I clicked on the link again, and lo and behold, the download was, in fact complete.

As downloaded, it is 128 pages including front and back covers.

Living in Uruguay is a story worth telling and I have decided to do that even more completely than on this blog.
