The best lifestyle in the world for the price… This is the journal of The Southron, an American Emigrant from Florida who has spent the last decade living in the West Indies, former Yugoslavia and Costa Rica. He moved to Montevideo, Uruguay at the end of February 2006... |

Every so often my office begins to feel like a Yankee prisoner of war camp–the same stultifying routine exacerbated by the view of the outside world just beyond the fence. Yesterday I decided to do something about it. Borko and I broke out in the afternoon and went off in search of spicy […]
Happy Orthodox Christmas!
Today, January 7 is Christmas for the Eastern Orthodox Slavs. This is because we still use the Julian Calendar for calculating the Church Calendar. The fact that it is 13 days later than the civil calendar is simply an added benefit—it lets us shop for Christ during the after-Christmas sales and […]
Dashing down the street,
on my cripple’s trike,
Through the streets we go,
doing what we like.
Borko is in tow
On his mountain bike
What fun it is to dodge a bus
And live til Christmas Night.
Pocitos, Buceo
traffic all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
My ‘lectric trike today
La Rambla is a mess
cars are everywhere
Christmas here in Uruguay
is […]
How about eating your cake and having it too? That was always my goal when I was growing up–actually it was usually pie, ice cream or potato chips; cake was not a special favorite.
Nevertheless, we have an opportunity to do it now. We don’t need to make a choice between going to the
Southeastron […]
I have really been remiss in writing in this blog, but I’ve simply been so busy with my real job that I have not had time to do it.
Therefore, this entry is going to be catch as catch can…
FIRSTLY, the weather is absolutely, positively, wonderful! Warm, sunny days without any humidity, and cool pleasant […]
This is Harry the Westie again.
I would like to thank the fat guy in the wheelchair for setting the record straight about Lucy and her brats, err, ummm, I mean puppies.
Let me make one thing doggedly clear! I was mislead!!! Someone in the office circulated that cute picture of those adorable little Westie […]
Thanksgiving Greetings From the Copperhead
Hello UY Living gang. I apologize for the long absence from posting I have been busy sending carpet baggers back north and researching how to distill Uruguay corn into good bourbon :)
This past year has seen some incredible growth for UY Living and The Sociedad Southron. The Thursday evening […]
Every year since 1992 the people of Montevideo have lined up to buy as many Big Macs as they can from celebrities and public officials working the counters at Ronald McDonald’s place. The reason is that all of the profits from the sale of Big Macs today are donated to Fundación Peluffo Giguens […]
I think my Westie got a little carried away earlier today and made a few slightly exaggerated claims regarding disputed parentage.
An impartial investigation has presented me with the following evidence.
Sorry Harry!
We have octuplets and they all look like Hassan (the dog from Piriapolis) and Lucy, not a patch of white anywhere…
I guess you’re stuck […]
Today we have a guest writer.
Hello, My name is Harry and I am a West Highland White Terrier, or “Westie” if you prefer. For the last 7 years I have lived with the fat guy in the wheelchair in a whole bunch of places: some hot, some cold, some ugly, some nice—in most […]
