Actually Uruguay reminds me a bit of Denmark. It´s green and very flat. And like Denmark Uruguay is a farm country and they eat a whole lot of meat like we danes do - Well most danes do.....

The Uruguayan, people have a funny habit, (later I learned that the people in Argentina and Paraguay have the same tradition - but not as popular) . Wherever they go they bring there thermo with hot water and a beauteful shaped ¨cup¨ with an even more artisticly silver straw. The cup is full og the tea Mate.
