Broken promises and failed hopes… This is the journal of The Southron, an Emigrant from Florida who has spent almost 5 years in Uruguay... |

The Southron commissioned the following report to be prepared by the ONLY attorney he recommends, Dr. Mark Teuten of Teuten Abogados (http://www.teutenabogados.com/ebrochure/english/index.html). It is offered here for your information. Introduction: The Executive has sent a text to the Uruguayan parliament which would incorporate major changes in the current regime of Income tax, Asset tax and [...]
The following was sent to me by a local attorney. I am not sure whether the information is correct of not. I am still in “watch and see” mode, but I hope he is correct. Unfortunately, much of what the press articles and blogs have been saying is more alarming than the reality. It has [...]
After more than 4 years of living in Uruguay and promoting it to the world as a good place to live and in which to invest, I must now, in all fairness, tell you that things have changed…for the worse. In the last four years I have seen a negative trend that leaves me shaking [...]
This is almost your last offer to participate in organizing Sociedad Southron AC. Since time is short before I leave for Europe I propose to have a luncheon meeting continuing into the afternoon as required on Friday 14 May, which is 8 days from now. The meeting will be at my house in Pinar, I [...]
Last week I returned from a four week trip that included my first return to the US in 7 years, as well as trips to Panama, Belize and the Dominican Republic, Thank God my health has so improved that despite being very busy and tired, I came back healthier than I left. It seems like [...]

This will be brief. But I have been locked out of this blog for 6 months. I am back, my health is improving and I will start writing again. I have more than a few stories to tell. This coming weekend is a 4 day holiday, so I hope to make up for some lost [...]
As my patient readers know, I prefer to write about why I am here and not still living in the United States. I write these tidbits seldom, and try to write them without venom lest I turn this blog into a battleground (even if it would be one more akin to Manassas/Bull Run where the [...]
One of the very best things about being resident and working in Uruguay is that everyone who pays into BPS (social security) is entitled to participate in one of the Health Insurance Plans, which I have found to be very good. As you know, from previous articles, I use COSEM, and have been delighted with [...]
Early this morning, Uruguay changed from Summer time (UYST) to standard time (UYT). Since it is fall here, we turned our clocks back 1 hour. At the same time we made that change, the US made its spring foward to daylight saving time. The total relative time shift was 2 hours, some Uruguay is now [...]
