@sebvaleng querido...yo lei lo que escribiste y lo mas importante para ti, son "dudas" quien lo hizo?...sera original?...sera una trampa?...mmm...muestra lo bueno...mmm...y los cuidacoches no dice nada???...y la señora de la esquina que le robaron la catera?...y? y eso es aporte de que?...si lo que deice y narra el tipo es asi. Nos cuesta por amargados y quejones acepatarlo. Lo malo de aqui no es el pais, es su gente (no toda obvio), pero?...escriben cosas como tu. Olvidalo todo bien
THE NARRATOR MUST BE CUBAN: "Uruguay has the highest literacy rate AFTER CUBA. The tango was derived from the the CUBAN milonga???" Where does this guy get his info ? There's no way Cuba has a higher literacy rate than Uruguay's population. As far as documented history has it, the Cuban habanera dance may have POSSIBLY influenced tango DANCE, not tango music. Tango is the result of many years of immigration and bohemian Europeans and African slaves. I beg to differ...
The narrator also failed to mention Uruguay's FIFA World Cup victory in 1930. This first ever tournament was the first in world history and hosted by Uruguay. The reason? They had won the olympic matches in 1924 and 1928 (before FIFA was created).
I agree with most of the doc. but, since when did Cuba boast #1 literacy rate among Latin America? Uruguay might be second to Argentina perhaps... Oh, and the milonga did not come from tropical island of Cuba. The word milonga aludes to a Spanish guitar style derived from the flamenco. The Habanera dance did supposedly have an influence in the tango dance but bares no relation to Uruguay and Argentina's urban music -the Tango.
Unfortunately in the last 7 to 10 years there has been an increase in drugs, something which was almost unheard of before that, and that has made robberies more frequent than before. That said, it is probably the safest country in South America. I love visiting but don't know if I could ever live there full time again, I've been gone for too long.
I would love for all this to be true - I am a Uruguayan that has lived abroad for the last 35+ years. Yes, the country is doing well but is far from the rosy picture portrayed here. People care about what car you drive, public health has improved by giant leaps but it is still mostly for the indigent and with U$2000 in earning oer month you will not get to live on the Rambla, which is the boulevard by the coast that surrounds the city. It is a beautiful country with nice people.
Hello, I live in Uruguay and I have to tell the makers of this video that's total hypocrisy; most of the facts are wrong, or old facts, and it looks like the view that only a rich man would have from the country, not ever a citizen or a common person. This is fake information, and gives a fake idea to the people that doesn't know the place.
If U talk about Uruguay, U should start talking about the recent military conflict that still remains, the poberty, the ignorance, the external doubt to the US, and a lot of other stuff u seem to don't know at all and that are more strong and truth than this "modesty" u talk about. It's not my intention to make an offense by writeing this, I just don't want wrong information to spread around the net.
@ninazzzm: Ignorance and poverty, is present in every country. I don't know what the hell you are talking about. You live in Uruguay, therefore yer money will rarely give you wealth. But to someone who works outside, Uruguay is very much a great place to live and cheap too. This documentary is not made to emphasize on the places bad aspects and the good aspects named here are true. I'm Uruguayan and have seen the place in both perspectives, and from an outside perspective, Uruguay is great.
@ninazzzm: No, this is not the view of a "rich man" I am not rich in the least, and I can tell you I can make (and plan to) a 20 times better living in Uruguay than I make here, where I am now. If you lived in Uruguay, you are always going to play, a los Uruguayos les encanta quejarse. I don't blame you, if you live there, but you think you are the only ones that complain about yer own country? Even in the USA people complain all the time! Trust me, Uruguay is not as bad as you make it out to be
And by the way, those "garbage collectors" sound that u start the day with, are actually poor people picking up garbage to eat; so, infrom yourself before making a documentary.
@ninazzzm: I understand why you are so amargo, but I also know not everybody is like that and this is YOUR personal opinion, and is, by NO means, absolute. Mine, is not an opinion, but a proven fact, that working outside the country you can make living great in Uruguay, and in Uruguay you can too, is just not that easy. Each country have their strengths and weaknesses. Uruguay's strengths, perhaps, do not lie in the economy or how full yer pocket will be if you work there.
@ninazzzm: Its strengths lies on everything else, that countries as big as the US, do not actually have. See, you cannot have everything in life, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Not everybody has the privilege to work outside of Uruguay, but that doesn't give you the right to try and make yer narrow minded opinion the one and ONLY truth.
Pero como uruguayo que soy, el costo de vida es altísimo.
Los servicios como la luz, tel, internet y otros como impuesto automotor y los combustibles son desorbitantes de caros, incluso si los comparas con paises europeos, en realcion calidad precio.
Por el resto, para vacacionar y o vivir tu vejez, me parece muy bueno, eso si, en las afueras, lejos de Montevideo.
what a video!!!!...this is an amazing perspective of my country and a great work on video edition...congratulations and thank you very much...your views make me feel proud and remind me that the patria is always waiting and welcoming people from around the world.
no se quien hizo esto ,pero me parece una porqueria ...,es una especie de zeigeist pero que habla de uruguay ..
