- Joseph's Summer 2018 trip: Travelling URUGUAY || Montevideo!
In this episode I head to the beautiful city of Montevideo, Uruguay! I'll spend about four to five days there and hit up all the sights: the centro, the downtown area and more.
I'll travel through the US to Los Angeles, onto Lima, Peru, Santiago, Chile and probably Uruguay, Brazil and Colombia. Wahoo!
Wow kid..let me tell you something..15 years living outside Uruguay and i can't start to de describe what i felt when you started the walking where my dad used to live.Parque posadas..and walked tha same path i liked to walk..Agraciada...Fernadez Crespo...18 de JUlio ..till my neiborghood..LA CIuDAD VIEJA.You passed in front of my apartment in Perez Castellano where my son was born ,one block from the mercado del Puerto.Also one block from where Artigas was born..and 2 blocks from where the National Anthem was writen....and more and more History.Garibaldi's house,Rodo's house,Rivera's house,,Iglesia Matriz..Templo Ingles,Rambla..Lot of memories.Thanks for that
That's so awesome. I am so pumped that this brought back memories for you. I always wondered if my videos would actually matter, but I find more and more that some people really appreciate. Thank you!
This was one of the most rewarding comments I've received.
The music went really well together with your video.Have been a few times to Montevideo and always found it a place to relax.
Wow thank you for the comment! Made my day!
Nice video! I'm from Uruguay, and you walked almost in front of where I'm living right now, so seeing all these day to day places from your perspective was kinda weird haha. I agree with another commenter that your filming may need some improvement (hope you don't mind me telling you that), but I still liked it. It gave the video like another touch, another "something" that I really enjoyed.
Although, another thing: in the first bit of the video, with the guys riding a horse-powered cart (Idk if "cart" is the correct name to call the vehicle, I used google translate for the word), you say it's "awesome" and whatnot, but it is actually a pretty sad sight, cause they're people who live in the most absolute poverty, who rely in using those horses to search through the trash and trying to salvage what they can to recycle to make a living, and many times those horses are subject of animal abuse (often ending in their death), so it's a whole social issue, too complex to summarize in a youtube comment (and also, I'm not the most knowledgeable person in the topic). I know you were just a tourist and you didn't have to be aware of the situtation and all that, but seeing them made me want to comment about the subject.
Anyway, I know this is a 2 year old video, but I hope you spent a great time in my little country. It's always nice seeing tourists enjoying it :)
I completely agree with you Alfonso! In retrospect it is a sad image of poverty in Montevideo. I had those same thoughts myself as I re-watched after publishing. Thank you for watching, and it brings me happiness that many Uruguayans have followed along my videos. Uruguay is one of my favourite countries - there is nothing like it.
Walking is the best way to get to know a city. I first visited Montevideo when I was 18 yrs old and would walk around for hours on end. The most I did was 7hrs of non stop walking in one day. I gave The Rambla a go, which apparently is the longest promenade in the world at over 22 kms, but at some point had to head back inland.
Hope to go back some day. Thanks for the vid. Cheers from downunder.
My dream city
Hi from Chicago, great video looking too visit Montevideo soon
Chicago is one cool place
Man..that was a REALLY nice and LONG walking!!
I was pretty tired lol, but yes, very very enjoyable.
Awesome video! Just to mention that plate you saw commemorates the proclamation of independence of Slovenia in 1991, no bunch of Slovenes relocating :)
Nice! Thanks for the info!
But why did people in Uruguay wish to commemorate this event? There must be a connection
@@JosephandtheWorld The text in the plaque says: "The slovenian community in Uruguay pay hommage to their land of origin. Montevideo, June 1997". I don't know the size of the community nowadays or why exactly they came here, but I imagine it must be related to the Cold War and overall conflicts in Europe at that time. Uruguay was always a country of immigrants, and although spaniards and italians were the most numerous, there were always immigrants from a bunch of other countries, and you can find several communities here (although mostly from descendants, not generally first generation migrants).
@@Alfonso162008 This makes sense. This is the reason I first visited Uruguay, in order to meet some distant family. Although my grandparents came from Hungary to Canada after WWII, one of their uncle/aunt settled in Uruguay around the same time or before. And so I stay with my Uruguayan "cousins" from that side of the family.
Great content and very entertaining
Thank you man!
Woow I loved. Good on you! I love you walked the city, i saw some part of my life there. 😉
I'm glad to hear this! Thank you!
Hy Joseph nice video I'm planning to sattle Uruguay permanent
Nice! It's very different, very relaxed. You do what's right for you!
@@JosephandtheWorld Es cierto Montevideo y Uruguay entero es tranquila, la gente vive a un ritmo más lento disfruta mucho de la familia y de los amigos en el día a día.
Despite having kind of similar names, Montevideo is less like Montreal (where Joseph and I are both from) and more like Barcelona, in terms of the culture, general appearance, climate, the Rambla by the seaside, etc.
Es lógico que se parezca más a Barcelona porque los uruguayos son en su mayoría descendientes de españoles, en menor número de italianos y de otras naciones europeas, en mi caso de alemanes.
It looks like Palermo, Sicily
I've never been, but I need to visit Sicily one day, thank you for the comment
The word you missed was “recen” means pray
Thank you! I included a subtitle in the video to correct myself, but I don't think it was clear enough.
Close your eyes and PRAY (recen)... when we opened them, they had the land...
Recen is the plural second (vosotros/uds) person for the verb rezar.
Thank you for this! I put the subtitle in there but I don't think it was clear enough for the viewer.
