Puzzled By Expat Attitudes

8 years ago

My husband and I have been looking for a gay friendly, inexpensive place to live. I believed Uruguay was our best option based on the ease of emigrating, income requirements , and cost of living. I thought I had really done my homework and was looking forward to visiting and taking a look around.

Please take no offense, but reading the comments in this forum are making me believe I've made the wrong decision based on a lot of negative attitudes and comments I've read here.

Dirty, crime ridden, expensive, and more, seem to be a common thread throughout.

For those of you living there, what reasons made you choose to move to Uruguay? Were you disappointed?

More than anything, I want my initial reaction to be true, which leads me to ask, why should I move there? Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond.
