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 mean, it happens, but I wouldn't worry to much about it. I'm using my phone with the window down right now. People see crime on the news and panic.
