Uruguay, a bit like the Canada of South America

 

Good point!

 

Very stable compared to its neighboring giants with their ups and downs.

Welcome back-are you planning on moving to Uruguay? Did you do research, pro/cons and decide on this country?

I invested there after the 2002 financial crisis, believe me, plenty of thoughts about the pros/cons already.

I've always wanted to complete my Spanish and understand Portuguese, one more good reason to move there.

There are Presidential elections next October. The parties running against the Broad Front are not supportive a lot of the socially progressive legislation of the last 10 years. (Not to be a Debbie Downer)

Actually I wouldn't mind them having a rotation of parties in office, the Colorado Party governed from 1865 to 1959.

Its the National Party that is the main opposition, and they are (very) not supportive of LGBT rights.

Do you surf? I see it's right by the border, is it easy to cross over to Brazil?

No I don’t surf. It reminds me of Cape Cod in Delmarva peninsula years ago.
