There is something that foreigners should know: in Ciudad Vieja, you should avoid empty streets or far from pedestrians (mainly the borders) just to be careful. "Planchas" are someting new for us. Also, i recommend to visit the Parque Rodò (Rodo Park) at dusk in summertime (december-february). I’m uruguayan and i think that your article is very accurate.

I think it's unfortunate that many travellers think of Uruguay as a day trip to take while in Argentina. It's a beautiful country and definitely tranquilo...and the chivitos son deliciosos. Any idea why there's one called chivito canadiense? Great article!

Different countries, geography and demographics...yet many assume these unique spaces/places are the same. #2...Could you do a side article on, "How to Drink Mate"? Excuse my amateur 101 status. But, I've had two bombillas since 2000 & I have yet to master the drink / slurp. :0 #6...While the music is in an 80's time warp...does the same go for the architecture?
