5 good reasons for living in Uruguay

1. Muy Tranquilo
2. It's not exotic... It's an easy place to call home
3.  The quality of the food is really good
4.  Wonderful people... I guess that should have been number 1
5.  Significant personal freedom

1) People are generally pretty laid back, though not behind the wheel.

2) It is generally peaceful, and as an American when I travel there I feel more free than I do in the US, which is rapidly becoming more of a plice state every year.

3) The fresh food is real, and wholesome, though the food in general is pretty bland in most restaurants.

4) It has more of a European feel than a place like Mexico, and even for a small country enough variety that it feels bigger.  It's proximity to Buenos Aires is a big plus if you need that New York/EU big city feel

5) Things work.  Unlike much of SA, you can get answers, there is not too much paperwork on everything, and if you buy property as I do, you walk away knowing you actually own what you bought.
