'Sunday Afternoon in Pocitos, Montevideo, Uruguay' Expat

Sunday in Montevideo from Uruguay - 11/01/06 17:11

Hi everyone, Welcome to Total Uruguay, we're delighted you've found out about our Sunday Expat Meetings! These meetings have happened EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY since November 20th 2005 (how many meetings is that?!). The only change in all these years is that our old haunt "Old Maz" moved locations, so since now we meet in a lovely Italian restaurant called Fellini's in Pocitos. We update the meeting website page EVERY week with the date of the next meeting so you can be sure that it is up-to-date and accurate information. If you'd like to discuss the meeting, the delicious food, the topics of conversation, how to get there or anything meeting-related...feel free to post a comment here. We look forward to seeing you some Sunday!! Americans in Uruguay

"Everyone Welcome!"

Hi Jorge,

As said above, the meetings take place EVERY Sunday without fail, in the same place (Fellini's Restaurant) at the same time (starting 1pm).

Feel free to drop in anytime, and bring friends or family, everyone is welcome!

"Thanks Elaine"

I will attend one when I'm in Uruguay.

Cheers from Australia.

"Getting your message out"

I deleted a message here that was asking us to ask a question of people at the Sunday meeting. The main reason I deleted the question was that it was asked in several other messages. This a small forum and there is no need to post repetitive messages.

Additionally, any kind of messages will reach many more people on the forum than if given just to people attending Sunday meetings.

The Sunday meetings are also informal and completely social. There are no announcements or other business brought up at the meetings. So, come and enjoy yourself.

If you have a message of interest for people living in, visiting or thinking about Uruguay... please post a new message in the forum

"Newcomers Welcome!"

Hi Joanna,

Great to hear you'll be dropping by. When will you be in Uruguay or are you already here? Are you just visiting or do you plan to move here? Did you have any luck sorting out someone to take care of your boxes for you?

"Sunday Dec 13th"

Just to avoid confusion... Sunday is December 13th.

"went along"

hi elaine, yes we went yesterday...met a very nice couple from the states/budapest, and a lady needing advice on immigration, others of course but not great with names.

i was brought up in manchester but rathgar and galway is where i am from. we intend staying for some time - hoped yesterday to meet the couples with babies as my girlfriend is pregnant and wanted some opinions but i guess we´ll pop along again next sunday and give it a whirl!

i think i have registered correctly....hopefully so!

"I am uruguayan and my daughter american"

Hi,

My daughter is 11 years old, american and a native english speaker, we both speak english after leaving in USA for 8 years. I would like to know if these meetings are only for native english speakers or if you think I could assist with my daughter. Thanks and kind regards, Carina.

"Everyone is welcome"

Everyone is welcome at the Sunday Expat meetings. There are often non-native speakers of English there... Uruguayans as well as Europeans.

"Bus line from Tres Cruces to meeting place?"

Hi, I would like to know how I can get by bus from the Tres Cruces terminal to the meeting place in Pocitos. Could anyone help me out?

Thanks a lot.

Comment #19 Lee from Pocitos - 08/25/10 18:43

"Ask Someone"

Maybe someone can get you a better answer, but ask someone at the bus terminal which buses go to Blvd Espana and Benito Blanco or Av. Brasil and Benito Blanco.

Those locations are 1 or 2 blocks from Fellini's and the bus stop on Benito Blanco is right next to the restaurant.

If someone can get a list of bus numbers that come from Tres Cruces (and/or other locations) I'll be happy to add them to the page.
