Blogs about Uruguay

We Croguayans come from two very far away countries which are not very well known to the outside world, however, as Croguay Republic has shown its presence on the blogsphere, so have these two original tiny countries managed to achieve the same feat.

I have had people come up to me and ask me things about my country of origin and I realize there's not much information out there written in English about it. To try to help clarify the questions readers of this blog may have about this, I will write down the list of blogs I use to read about Uruguay. Most are written by foreign expats living now in the country and one by an Uruguayan.

You may be wondering how I manage to read all of these blogs. Luckily I don't need to go to those sites anymore. I've been using Netvibes to read their news feeds as well as from my friends' blogs. It does save a lot of time.

I hope you find the above list of your interest. A lot of issues regarding life in Uruguay, culture, economy and how life is in general are thoroughly discussed there. Please let us know if you cannot find an answer to your question anyway.

Much love,

Gaston

P.S. Croatia's version will come later... stay tuned.

Vive la difference!

Toward no crimes have men shown themselves so cold-bloodedly cruel as in punishing differences of belief.
James Russell Lowell

Diversity is not about how we differ.
Diversity is about embracing one another's uniqueness.

True observation begins when one is devoid of set patterns.

If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life's exciting variety, not something to fear.

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.

The wave of the future is not the conquest of the world by a single dogmatic creed but the liberation of the diverse energies of free nations and free men.
