| URUGUAY Part 1: Montevideo - Punta del Diablo ? Santa Teresa -Cabo Polonio day # Uruguay is my second stop after Brazil in my journey in Latin America. I reach Montevideo after a 19-hour comfortable bus-ride ...Uruguay is the second smallest country in South America. Most of the 3, 5 million people are European descendants. A great number ...Uruguay and not mentioning ?mate? is impossible. Mate is a kind of tea made by putting the leaves of the plant ...Uruguay and Brazil. Actually I?m heading back the route which I came through 3 days ago. We can go half way ...Uruguay and the other is Brazil, and people can move around freely. As it is a free-zone, it is full of |
Comment #110/23/10 03:22Farmer from Gubat, Sorsogon Philippines | Every country has something unique to offer. Uraguay has the mate tea to offer to the tourist who happen to pass through their country. People may be another asset of the country. If native people of Uruguay may be trained to be hospitable then the country will be a tourist destination as well. |
Comment #210/23/10 12:09Rural east Colonia departmento | "Training Uruguayos"
I fear that trying to "train Uruguayos to be hospitable" would be like trying to herd cats. The vast majority of the population are descendants of European settlers who like life as it is... which results in a take us as you find us or go elsewhere attitude. Only a very few are fawning 3rd worlders prepared to play South American stereotypes for a bit more foreign currency :-)In my view most Uruguayo people are polite and friendly though they can seem a little reserved with strangers... its a balance which seems ideal to me. We have a geographical advantage when it comes to Argentinos looking for a seaside holiday because we have warm seas in summer and they don't. Strange to say, if you wish to sample mate you'll have to buy the ingredients and make it yourself as cafes don't seem to sell it by the gourd. In Argentina and Brazil cups of mate (made with a little bag like a tea bag) are available in many cafes and restaurants but I've never seen it here. |
| "No mate in restaurants"
I was told the reason that mate is not sold in restaurant is because it is prohibited by the Ministry of Health.It is not sanitary because the drink and straw is shared between people and consequently unsanitary. If you pay close attention you might also find that it is rare to see restaurant employees consuming mate inside a restaurant (at least in Montevideo). There are also dangers to mate and hence you see the signs prohibiting their consumption on buses (though it is not so uncommon to see bus drivers drinking mate)! The two dangers on the bus are that of spilling hot water and/or jabbing the metal draw up the roof of your mouth upon a sudden stop. Of course it does seem a bit odd that the "national drink" is not available the first place tourists would go looking to experience it... a restaurant!
