Uruguay, Uruguay! Little ol’ Uraguay, down there in the Southern hemisphere, just mindin’ it’s own business. But it is high on the list now. Yes it is.

Educationally it does well. Adult literacy is above 98%, which is number one in South America, and 33rd in the World. Teacher student ratio us great, 13.8 students per teacher, across the board, from Primary to University. Education is free, as well. Free laptops from Government to every student, that’s progressive, That’s trying to make a difference.

Medical care, though good, it seems, is a little dicey. They have Universal healthcare, but it is a 3 tiered system. You have your basic clinics, which are many and every where. They are crowded, but the care is there.

Then they have the mutualistas, kinda like an hmo, though these guys do house calls, ala the 1950’s America. It is reasonable in cost, and better service than here in the states. Then There is the Private Insurance, and it’s institutions.

So Health care is adequate, but not a big win. DRug laws, education, and cultural and historical opportunities get big thumbs up here in Uruguay.

As for culture, They do well. They are a small country, so haven’t alot of Ancient ruins and the like, but access to both the Amazon and Inca culture just a short trip away, it doesn’t really seem like a down side. Oh, and did I mention Carnival Culture? Ranching Culture is quite big too.

They have an Ocean, the Atlantic, and lovely beaches. Tango, Festival/Carnival… They have Antartica looming mysteriously in the distance…

On to laws, and Marijuana. VERY liberal… They decriminalized all DRUGS for personal use, without putting a cap on that amount, so if it is all in one bag…… I guess you are ok.

One last vote in Uruguays favor. Futbol. My wife, back in 2014, became a born again Futbol Fanatic. She LOVES World Cup. something about hearing a game called in Spanish. In fact, Uruguay is one of her two favorite teams, if we move there, Uruguay will be first.. So if we move there, and you see a pretty little blonde lady, cussing out the referees in English… that would be my wife!!
