Variety of Transportation MessageWell I have found this link which doesn't really tell you what the transporation system is like in Uruguay but it does... 64 BUT only 15 of them have paved runways.Maybe someone who lives there could explain why so few runways are paved.... - Sun Apr 8 23:52:41 2007:
Exchange Rates and The Peso MessageI keep reading about prices in US$ and Pesos but not knowing much about the Pesos and what kind of exchange rate there... for those who are interested in travelling or emmigrating to Uruguay you might want to check this thread out.... - Sun Apr 8 23:42:17 2007:
Cable MessageI was just reading about internet lines and how long it takes to get them installed. One you have to have a telephone... receive on cable television in Uruguay? Do you get all the regular American channels or is it mostly local television?... - Sat Apr 7 22:37:16 2007:
Good_summer_season CommentOkay, now I see where that all makes sense. I too was a little confused about what I had read. Thank you for clarifying... they can line their own pockets.I guess you can tell I'm totally anti-government as it stands in the world today.... - Sat Apr 7 22:31:54 2007:
Court_rules_pup_mills_construction_can_continue CommentExactly Princess, you make a very good point about the dumping of garbage. I would certainly rather have paper to... take millenia to break down into waste.In fact I'm sure some of the materials thrown in the dumps never break down.... - Sat Apr 7 22:28:40 2007:
Medical_insurance CommentThat actually is a very good link for a lot of information. Thank you for putting it there.I guess I should say both... one seems to cover a lot more than just medical and I'm sure it will help a lot for people looking for answers. ... - Sat Apr 7 22:24:20 2007:
Dengue_Alert_Level_Lowers CommentWell it's good to know that the risk is low but even though these other areas are further north it's still a risk... In my opinion it is always good to know when something is spreading so that everyone can take precautions with it.... - Fri Apr 6 23:41:16 2007:
Spring_is_here CommentYes I totally agree with you that the longer hours during the day are great. I hate it when in the winter it gets dark... get to see any sunshine.I like the different seasons but that part of winter is just horrid as far as I'm concerned.... - Fri Apr 6 23:36:26 2007:
Summit_of_South_American_Leaders CommentWhat was the summit meeting about do you know? Also what countries are we talking about here?

No_gringos_in_Uruguay CommentYes I agree. It would be in extremely poor taste to call a Canadian a Yankee because we are not know as yankees... if they called us Canucks I can live with that but anything else would definitely be a slur on our country.... - Fri Apr 6 23:26:39 2007:
I_have_apartment_in_Montevideo CommentDo you mind my asking how much you paid for the apartment and what size it is? Are you interested in renting it out... 4 months at a time and does it pay to have it for only that short time and leave it vacant for the rest of the time?... - Tue Mar 27 22:33:26 2007:

Let_s_Go_To_the_Movies CommentThat's very interesting to know how they separate the dollars from pesos. I wasn't aware of that.That is actually... a distinction between the 3. It's not much but when you are on a set income as seniors are it helps to get us there.... - Tue Mar 27 22:08:06 2007:
Internet_in_Uruguay CommentThat's great information to have. However, I'm a smoker and unless they allow smoking in the cafe or mall there is no... have to pay for my services at home. But the information is good to know for future reference anyway. Thank you.... - Tue Mar 27 21:26:15 2007:

Automobiles MessageI found this interesting article in the news today and thought it might answer some questions as to jobs."China's... Argentina, " Jin said" This will probably mean a lot of new jobs will be coming open when this factory starts up. ... - Mon Mar 26 19:14:25 2007:
Save_9_on_your_travel_in_Uruguay CommentThat's very interesting but how does that work? Is it only for traveller's or is there a way for residents to get some... one quarter of the cost of the house on top again.Also do they charge taxes on rentals? If so is it the same tax?... - Mon Mar 26 19:09:41 2007:

What_are_the_prospects_for_Americans_in_Uraguay CommentWell, from what I'm reading it sounded like the ideal place to retire. The cost of housing, land, climate all sound... of $100.00 I have to pay $60 to receive it? That seems atrocious to me. Don't you feel that it is way way too much?... - Mon Mar 26 18:50:50 2007:
Buffet_21_One_of_our_favorite_places_to_eat CommentOkay this Buffet 21 sounds like a great place to go for traditional American/Canadian foods and it's a shame that it is... Uruguayan meat? Is is Lamb or Goat or Beef? I'm not sure what it would be down there. Perhaps you can enlighten us....
