I've been in Uruguay for 5 days now, and here are some of my observations:
-Montevideo is a very low-key city...very calm and quiet.
-It's like some type of mix between Southern Europe and Eastern US. Definitely lacks the typical Latin feel.
-They party LIKE CRAZY! People usually go out to the club around 2am and come back at 6am. You can't find anything going on before midnight.
-There is meat EVERYWHERE. Uruguayans eat more meat per person than any country in the world.
-People from this part of the world like to drink something called "Mate" (pronounced MAW tay). They take some type of plant and crush it up and put it into a little cup, then pour hot water (which they carry around in a big thermos) into the cup and suck it with a long metal straw. It tastes kind of like tea, and looks like this:

Tomorrow, ARGENTINA!
