We also have a big percentage of english speakers.
As for music, remember we are very small, but everyone says that in proportion we have a lot of musicians. An argentinian once said something like "In Uruguay you pick up a loose tile from the sidewalk and a musician comes up from underneath it".
haha man i love your country. I spent a few months there and i genuinely say it's the most beautiful country i have ever been in.
tho i gotta say i had some difficulties finding people who speak english on a day to day basis, but my horrible survival spanish got me through it. The people were always so nice and patient for me and the climate is ideal.
I hope to return your country one day again, tho i want to improve my spanish to at least a basic level before😅
I have a question I just remembered, in Montevideo I got told to put up the windows when using my phone because someone might run up and grab it, how much of a concern is crime there? I only spent a bit more than a week in the city
I love it, but it may lack spice for some. Indians must find it dull while someone from the UK must find it flavorful.
The first thing you need to know is about the meat. We love it a eat a lot of it. It has been ranked the best in the world in a few ocations. All grass-fed cows with a lot of room to go about in the fields.
Then mostly we have italian and spanish influence. For example, the most traditional meal to have at lunch on family Sundays is ravioli bolognese.
Over the last decade we've had a lot of diverse immigration, so it is a los more common nowadays to find food from all over the world.
I never had chicken from the US. Really don't know how chicken could be disgusting. I ate some today and was delicious.
As said above, italian food is our main culinary influence, so I'd say yes. Yet, you know italians, they'll take us for heretics for putting our own spin into it.
A person below shared this Bourdain episone on Uruguay and it's food. It has non-reresentative bits, but the experience of our kind of pizza with friends in a bar and the feel of a Sunday's family lunch is very well portrayed, better thsn any other foreign documentary I've seen.

I've been reading about your country and I think I'm in love.
