The power of distributed federalism and good climate. The Chad of democracies, to Chile's Thad.

Amazing writer.
>Juan Carlos Onetti
Amazingly shit
No. He's good.
Good person? Maybe
I had a dream the other night that I sold everything and moved to Uruguay, and now, this thread appears. What is Uruguay like?
Argentina but Black personer.
Crime? Housing? Economics?
Low crime rates compared to Argentina and Brazil, but high if we look to first world countries.
70% of the population lives in the Montevideo urban area.
High cost of living duo to high demand of import products.
Have a decent politics system, modern laws and its population is slightly poor but not miserable.
So better than Argentina.
If you're not rich and can't afford living in a rich neighborhood of Buenos Aires like Palermo, yes, Uruguay is better and more chill and low profile.
Argentina but actually European.
Montevideo is a bit like Reykjavik but everyone speaks Portuguese. The rest of the country is a bit like Lebanon in that there is nothing much to see but their bad road infrastructure and terror-mongering leaders who are all bark and no bite. The climate is the same as the southern United States. The art scene is not on par with Rio or Buenos Aires but there are some cultural highlights. About everything else, Montevideo’s international reputation rests on one thing: the Hip Hop scene. Very similar to Stockholm actually.
>Montevideo is a bit like Reykjavik but everyone speaks Portuguese.
Spanish*
>Hip hop scene
...what? I am an Uruguayan and I don't know anything about any hip hop scene here. To be frank, I never cared about it enough to even look it up.
Some of the things you said are extremely wrong to say the least, especially talking about the interior
It's the Canada of Argentina, but less left wing snd with more sovl. But kinda expensive ngl
What is the industry like? Or is it a society where most people work for the government? What sort of challenges would, let us say, for conversations sake, a Canadian oil field worker with an engineering education expect in establishing himself?
They dont take kindly to goofs in South America unless they are connected with the church or politics.
Are you into computers? A salary of a teenager who went to a public technical school to learn how to program works with me and he makes enough to live by its own means.
People value a traditional pace of life over chasing profits for its own sake irrespective of political leanings.
This is a good list of lesser known Urguayan authors, but for those like me who weren't even aware of the big dogs:
>Jorge Piñata Zaragoza
>Nacho Corona-Sol de Cerveza
>Pablo Guacamole
>Luis Tetas
>Rosario Vampira Suarez
I know these are known by most but it's still good to include them in a Latin America thread
Shut up, moron.
I have no idea what those names are, have never even seen them before. Yes, I'm highly cultural, how could you tell? But I did read Quiroga's short story collection - it was recently published here, and its cover attracted my attention. Quite good, reminded me of Ambrose Bierce's Tales of Soldiers and Civilians somewhat.
Wow, not a single noteworthy author. What an amazing country.
They are noteworthy, just not popular with the reddit crowd.

Nah, frick off.
Give us back the retirement income he got for free after finding out he had cancer, by the way, tell Victor Hugo Morales to go back home, that dipshit is 100% yours.
I’m glad that homosexual gringos will never read Based Onetti.
>Eduardo Galeano
I am on mobile, but you can find the FBI’s dossier on Galeano on IA for free. Only about 7 pages total
Imagine having to bury yourself in a library just to cope with the fact you don't live in Paraguay. Pathetic.
who?
