Thank author of this post/comment"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

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?

Hey Jonathan,

Welcome :) where are you from exactly? I'm from Dublin, and have been living in Uruguay since late 2008. Do you and your girlfriend plan to live in Montevideo for long?

Thank author of this post/comment"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 weŽll 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 at the Sunday Expat meetings. There are often non-native speakers of English there... Uruguayans as well as Europeans.

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.

Thank author of this post/comment"Do I need to inform before hand I am attending?"

Hi! I was wondering if I need to inform in advance if I am attending any of the get-together? Or do I just show-up? ( I'd love to attend the event tomorrow, I do realize that I am asking this on the Saturday night prior to the lunch ;) ...)

My apologies if this is a dumb question!

Thanks!

Thank author of this post/comment"Just turn up."

AFAIR you just turn up... though I live so far out of MVD that I haven't attended a Sunday lunch for ages.

Thank author of this post/comment"Patrick..."

For so long that no one remembers you Patrick... and your not that far away.. nor is Montevideo that big and scary... unless maybe your license plates are from Colonia! jajajaj

The beauty and challenge of the meetings is that there is NO RSVP... people just show up. Somehow, magically, there always seems to be around 30 people. Between 10 and 50 anyway. The challenge of course is finding a restaurant that can deal with a standing reservation for an unknown number of people!

Starting tomorrow we're making a slight change to help deal with that issue... lunch will be from Noon to 2pm at Parrillada Trouville, following by coffee, dessert and more socializing at Feligreta until whenever. People are welcome to just show up for either or both.

Thank author of this post/comment"Lame excuses"

AFAIR my last Sunday lunch was shortly before Tabare Vazquez introduced the anti drink'n'drive laws.

Once I'm finally rid of the vampires at Dedicado, I might be able to afford a tank of gas :-)

Hola, my wife and I are interested to join the sunday expat group but wonder whether it is child friendly. Do you often have kids in attendance? We have two rather noisy ones under 4 years.

Thanks,

David

I will be in Atlantida for at least two months, starting 9/01/2011. As soon as I figure out the bus system, I will come meet everyone. Excited!

Thank author of this post/comment"Kids..."

Many times there are kids at the meetings. Not always. It is always surprise who comes and there is always a mix of "new" and "old" people. Make sure to review the link at the top of the pages here for the latest details on the meeting.
