Polonia in Uruguay

Is there a large Polish community in Uruguay?
I assume, most Poles live in Montevideo?
Is it expensive to live there?

Optsie, why are you interested in Polonia in Uruguay, is it about the notorious Radio Maryja's sponsor who lives there? You're in the States after all, so I don't suppose you want to move down there...

Bossie, hola mi corazon.

I am considering moving there. I wondered how expensive is to live there.
Would I have to marry an Uruguayan citizen in order to live there?
Bossie, perhaps we both can moved there and live? What do you say?

Gee, I should be working instead of chatting.

You're not chatting but making serious life choices here...

I lived in Peru, was rather cheap. I'm afraid I don't know much about Uruguay anyway. In Peru you can apply for some kind of residence even if you don't get married to a local.

I have just moved four months ago so you'd have to wait a while. And no promises, lo siento.

Mi corazon,
I want to make that serious life choice with you.
After reading your posts, I knew that you are special.
It is Karma.


We have a lot in common. Couple years ago, I visited Peru and Ecuador.
What did you do in Peru?
Did you enjoyed living there?
How long did you lived there?

I heard that Uruguay is inexpensive and safe.

For one thing, I got married and pregnant in Peru. Two things, actually...

I enjoyed some things there, delicious food, low prices, hot summer. But there are other things you don't normally read about in the guides - terrible poverty, culture of pessimism, high crime rate, dirt, lack of safety on public transport (one of the things that shocked me most was the common presence of window glass fitted into mini buses instead of safe car glass). The list is endless...

Yes, you are correct.

Now, that was brief! So much for serious life choices, er?

Any information on Uruguay? I am thinking of visiting the country in the summer.

that's true. I agree with that comment.

Hey, I am from Uruguay on an expat assignment in KRK, let me know if you still have questions, happy to help.

Welcome solalice.

Thanks Grzegorz

I`ve been to Uruguay couple of years ago...
It`s cheap, althought not as cheap as Peru. It has a very european feeling there, arquitecture and population aspects are very similar due to imigration in the last century...in the summer is very hot, but winter is rather cold. I`m not so sure how the economy is doing there, but poverty is definetely in smaller number as in other South American countries.

Hi Solalice,

You have mentioned you are from Uruguay...I have some questions...can we chat about it?

I had a friend who studied in Montevideo he said it was pretty inexpensive and that it was really pretty.

Dzhaklin, did your friend said anything else? What's the health care like our there? What are the leaving standards?

Well he was a student down there about a year ago. He said the health care systems weren't horrible but that they weren't Swedish Standard (where he was from) he also was the kind of person who if he got sick he relied on herbs and vitamins, holistic medication. He rented a house with two other people for $800 a month (split) he said electronics were very expensive though. Everything else was about the same price if not cheaper than costa rica
