No, it´s not for the marijuana haha. As you con read in the title of this entry, I want to go to Uruguay. The main reason is that is the birthplace of writers I enjoy, like Mario Benedetti or Eduardo Galeano. Besides, it´s a interesting place, I mean, they did the first land reform in Latin America.
That is one of the things I know about their history. Also, they had one of the most sanguinary dictatorships of the recent history of the continent.
In certain way, they are like us in the importance that the food has on their culture. Also, they have mate (like us). And I like it.
If I go there, I would visit the Montevideo´s cafes like Café Brasilero (in the photo) which was visited for Benedetti, Onetti and Galeano. Also, I would visit the beach, buy some books and ridiculous amounts of coffee.
I don´t know if there is a place for living, but study there could be a good idea (if they are so pluralists as their reputation say). However, I don´t know the living cost, so, I won´t plan anything for now.
Thank you for reading this and may the force stay with you.
Nice Post!, i also love Benedetti and Galeano, i hope you can go there someday.
