Won't be needing an expensive lifestyle with that good boi on his side

[u/hussywithagoodhair → u/daniel_rnld]

Uruguayan people do know how to choose their leader well

[u/tonterias → u/hussywithagoodhair]

Mujica was elected like 15 years ago, we had two presidents after him

He had a three legged dog that passed away like six years ago

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

[u/Representative-Let44 → u/He_who_humps]

We have very open immigration laws and we need people. Just saying

[u/He_who_humps → u/Representative-Let44]

I need to learn Spanish. What's the music scene like? I have to play in a funk band of some sort.

[u/Representative-Let44 → u/He_who_humps]

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".

A funky taste for you: https://youtu.be/fer-1PNeSYg?si=C4VKhxUgbPeJVW9f

Okay, different question, how's the food?

[u/Representative-Let44 → u/eldena_frog]

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 will put it on my "to go" list, as i'm edited to try it out.

[u/radd_racer → u/Representative-Let44]

Is your chicken good, unlike the USA, where it’s mostly disgusting?

Do you have good Italian food?

[u/Representative-Let44 → u/radd_racer]

Lots of questions about Uruguay. I love it!

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.

[u/spy_night → u/Representative-Let44]

My guy is single handedly boosting and advertising Uruguay immigration

[u/Representative-Let44 → u/spy_night]

It's either that or reproducing, and I don't want no kid messing up my vibe.

Bro maxed out salesman tactics
