I really like this format, the camera work is awesome, the music in background is good too. Travel vlogging is an excellent way to gather information and become an advisor or consultant to lead tours. There's much more to this than you think. 80k plus subs is an excellent earmark for your growth.
true! i remember my first time getting a haircut in poland i was extremely nervous (being the only black guy) koodos to austin on going solo he gets my respect!
Auston, the ocean is not dirty ... the thing is that this bay is really wide, almost 80 km from Montevideo to Punta Pidras in Argentina. This produce a movement of water that sometimes wins the river (the water is brown) and sometimes win the ocean (the water is blue). Have a nice trip !
Hi Austin... Welcome to Uruguay. First of all, congratulations on your channel. I've been following you during your visit to Buenos Aires, and now you've come to my country. I lived in Buenos Aires for 12 years. In our country, we have three major cultural influences: murga, candombe, and tango. Candombe comes from the Afro culture of our country, and usually on weekends in Montevideo, people gather in neighborhoods like Ciudad Vieja, Palermo, and others to play candombe. In February, there's an event called "Las llamadas," where hundreds of people with their groups play the drum. I recommend visiting the neighborhoods of Pocitos and Carrasco-they are very beautiful. The beaches are clearer towards the east, although it's nothing like the Caribbean. If you have time, I also recommend Punta del Este, the exclusive resort of Uruguay, where tourists from all over the world come. I live there. You're welcome, and if you need anything....Don't hesitate to get in touch with me. Good luck! And it doesn't just seem like Dr. Dre; it is Dr. Dre
Welcome to Uruguay. I want to make some comments to clarify some of your concepts. Rio de la Plata IS NOT an ocean, it is an ESTUARY. The brown water is not because it s "dirty" but because two rivers flow into it, Rio Paraná from Argentina, and Rio Uruguay between both countries, Argentina and Uruguay. A few miles east, the Estuary itself will flow into the Atlantic Ocean. In there the water is blue (In Punta del Este area) The shower you have on your roof it is probably for very hot days after grilling, I am sure you´ll be hot enough to use it. You are in a neighbourhood, La Aduana, where most of black Uruguayan from Mdeo, live. Right now, there are many more because we also have lots of Cubans, Dominicans, and blacks from some other places, even some from African countries. Black population in Uruguay used to be around 4%. We had some famous soccer players through history which were black. We probably have some in the National Team, right now. I don't know, because most of them are new young kids. The first famous black Uruguayan, was part of the team that won the soccer Olympics in 1924 and 1928, nowadays considered World Championship and also in 1930 he won the First World Cup. His name was José Leandro Andrade, he was from my town, Salto. French named him "la merveille noire." His nephew won the 1950 World Cup. You should also ask about Candombe, which is the most important music from Black Uruguayan. About the mate you bought, if it is the classical mate (made of a gourd) it needs to be "cured" before first use. I wish you could find an Uruguayan who can explain you how. If it is made of any other material... you just need a "bombilla" the straw, and the yerba mate. But even to start mate, it would be nice if you talk to someone because there is a whole traditional form to do it then it lasts longer.
Genéticamente en resumen si mezclás un español con un italiano te da un uruguayo 😁. En Uruguay el 90% de la población es descendiente de inmigrantes europeos (el porcentaje más alto de América, le sigue Canadá con 73%, Argentina 67% y EEUU 66%). Uruguay en el total país tiene entorno de 90% de descendientes de europeos (entre 88 y 92% según que estudio se tome como base) y es el mayor porcentaje por lejos de Latinoamérica. En el caso de los uruguayos con mayoría de ascendientes españoles el porcentaje en el total país es de 40 y algo por ciento (algunos datos hablan del 51%), las regiones que más aportaron fueron las Islas Canarias, Galicia, País Vasco y Catalunia en ese orden. Además Uruguay en el total país después de Italia tiene el mayor porcentaje de descendientes de italianos en el mundo 40%. Siempre mirando datos del total del país. (Googlear inmigración italiana en el Uruguay). La mayoría de los descendientes de italianos en Uruguay son de las regiones de Campania, Lombardía, Liguria y Basilicata en ese orden. Pero a modo de resumen casi todos los uruguayos (un 90%) somos la mezcla de españoles con italianos (aunque también hay un porcentaje no menor, en un segundo escalón, de franceses y alemanes, también, en un tercer escalón de importancia portugueses, britanicos (ingleses y escoceses), irlandeses, suizos, etc, en el 8 o 10% restante hay mitad mulatos (mezcla de blanco con negro) y mitad mestizos (mezcla de blanco con indígena)
I’m loving Uruguay so far. It looks peaceful and feels nostalgic seeing you walking around interacting with the locals. Hope to see more of what the city has to offer. Great work!
Hi, I'm from Uruguay. I just wanted to say the Río de la Plata isn't dirty, the entrance to the Rio de la plata is sandy. Both Uruguay and Argentina have sandy coasts and sand is brought by the Uruguay river stream. In colonial times the Río de la Plata was a way into the heart of south america, and Montevideo was the only place suitable to have a dock for big ships. I hope you are enjoying your stay!
I am from Colombia. Espera. ¿Que hago hablando ingles? Todos sabemos que Uruguay es un crak. ¿Como se explica que siendo mucho mas pequeño y de menor poblacion que Argentina saque tan buenos jugadores? Imagina si fuera un pais con mayor poblacion. Una locura seria.
And then STILL speaking to them in Portuguese AFTER THEY SAY NO!! Thermonuclear cringe!!! I might sue for emotional distress. I'm still a fan though so we'll see...
It's not a big deal if he asks someone if they can speak Portuguese, you never know there may be some who can speak a little seeing that there may be people from Brazil which is the largest country in South America residing there, one never knows, it's good to ask anyway that's what travelling is about and not confined to your own little box 😉
@@richieredw9218 Ohhh I get it. Asking only to then ignore their responses and continue speaking to them in Portuguese makes perfect sense. Thanks for clearing that up 👍🏽
Es fácil .... Hace poco alguien hizo un vídeo y bueno Brasil está cerca y se iban a Uruguay a invertir por ende ellos empezaron a hablar más ese idioma No me acuerdo cual vídeo era pero Ami me sorprendió v: también me da igual
Hello Auston, I just discovered your channel today, and I really like the vibe of your videos. As others have mentioned in the comments, candombe is a very important part of Uruguayan culture, especially in Montevideo. Although the Afro-descendant population in Uruguay is just above 10%, their cultural impact is significant. I recommend exploring Barrio Sur and Palermo, where the Afro-Uruguayan presence is more prominent. Greetings!

I really liked the format of this vlog, it was perfect. What I wish to see is the nightlife as well as your interaction with a beautiful young female tour guide that shows you more about the culture and things tourists do not find on their own.
Hey man! Really cool video. You may want to check out a local type of music called "Candombe", it's an important part of Uruguayan/black culture. Some days you can see them play on the street in different parts of the city.
You really did your thing with this video. I love the upgrade camera, audio is crisp, added more cinematography. The knowledge and content always been there. Keep going! Also, keep doing what you do bro, constructive criticism is great but I in particular do not want you to burnout. So keep doing what your soul tells you to do.
Nice video brother. I wouldn't to ask them if they speak portuguese because if your portuguese was good enough, you would be able to speak decent spanish. Spanish speaker knows that portuguese speaker can understand them pretty well. In fact they will struggle to understand portuguese because it is faster and more compressed language compared to spanish slower and clearer. The point is: it is easier for us portuguese to speak spanish than spanish speak portuguese. when you ask them if they speak portuguese, they will be left wonder if it isn't easier for you to speak spanish, and judge you as less cleaver person.
Auston's video productions are becoming top notch! Also impressed with his ability to make the effort to learn and speak Spanish and interact with the locals. Everything isn't just about 😼
ILOVE the music in this video. I love it like Uruguay. That's a great country and people are so nice. I was three times in that country. My brother got married with a beautiful girl from Montevideo. I knew Palermo neighborhood in Montevideo and I think there are a lot of black people (I hope you undertand my writting). All the best, hugs.
Sup! I'm a first born American of Uruguayan parents. The water you are seeing is not dirty. It's an estuary and the fresh water meets the salt water in that area. Go to Punta del Este that is away from the river that divides Uruguay from Argentina and it is waaay bluer... I still enjoyed the vid though 🤗 just had to kick some knowledge ❤ also if you go farther up north, most Uruguayans speak both Spanish and Portuguese
The water is brown because that is not the ocean. That is the river plate that empties into the ocean. Also it is not dirty. The brown color is from the sediment from the river.
There is a concept of "black" and blackness. They recognize admixture which is why she said "brown or tanned" like us. Had it been floyd, she would have said, "Negro or black." It does not mean "dark" it means brown or tanned.@@user-eo1we6qd2s
hello. welcome to the country. I am Uruguayan and "the ocean" is not "dirty" as you say at minute 2:04. It is not the ocean, it is "the Silver River" which is not really a river, it is an estuary and that is why it is brown. We have oceanic beaches but to the east of the country.
Austin, these are the kinds of videos I like the best. We get to see the locals and the architect of the city and it doesn't hurt if some of the locals are pretty.😀 Keep up the good work.👍🏾
Bro I’m Uruguayan ,, the water is brown because it is a river , it’s the widest river in the world ,,, you need to go further up towards Punta del este to get to the sea
I love the car free street zones, i think every city should have one designed for pedestrians only just for shopping and chilling. I loved the video, quality, content and the music..more interaction needed, hopefully in the next video. (but i suppose you can't force it as it will come out weird when talking to strangers)
The water is not dirty, is brown because that’s not the ocean, is a river. The widest river in the world that divides us from Argentina. If you want blue water you have to go to Punta Del Este where the Atlantic Ocean begins.
You do realize I just now started making race topics videos in the last 4 countries right??? 4 out of 18. BECAUSE I am black and most of my subscribers are as well. Therefore, this is an important aspect
@@AustonHolleman You know people will try to correct you based on limited information and how they think the world should be. Just keep doing your thing.
@AustonHolleman… I agree with Dan… There’s no need to focus on race in any of your videos… even if most of your subs are black. I’m sure that you’ve traveled enough in the past year to notice that these don’t matter nearly as much as some people (esp from the USA) think. Good vid 👍
@@tclass99 White Americans will ask how well will they blend in visiting places with mostly darker skin areas of a foreign country and guess what........that's a legit question or concern. The majority of the human race date within their own race so of course race topics is a legit question.
@RichBoy… I have white friends and colleagues and I have never once heard them ask about race when traveling… even when it’s to predominantly black countries like Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, St. Lucia, etc. They’ll sometimes be concerned if they’re going to country where they don’t speak the language but that’s it.
Hi Austin! I'm glad you are in my beloved Uruguay, and in Montevideo! I've moved to NYC for YEARS. I'm glad you feel comfortable there. We are known for being friendly and hospitable. That apartment looks GREAT! It has an amazing roof top and you can also BBQ! Yes, Montevideo is where the black population is mostly, and yes, it is around 10% and they are mostly (if I'm not mistaken) in the neighborhoods named BARRIO SUR and PALERMO. As someone said in another comment, you should have the experience of listening to the sound of candombe. IT IS AMAZING. The Montevideo promenade is also an EXCELLENT walk that everyone enjoys. Especially the Pocitos promenade. The quarries of Parque Rodo. Pocitos (the neighborhood), as well as Buceo, Punta Gorda, Carrasco. You have to try our meat and achuras at El Mercado del Puerto (Ciudad Vieja). The famous Chivito. Maybe a good option for this is La Pasiva or El Chivito de Oro. Well...I could go on and on. I'm here if you want to ask me anything. Hug brother and ENJOY URUGUAY!!! Oh! And Marijuana is legal but is sold in SOME farmacies but you have to be a resident and be registered. Its not THAT easy like MANY people think
I’ve been following your brother… I can’t believe you have evolved in front of our eyes so much… Of course, we’re looking for the Contant with the females… But you’re opening up so many new places for us… I know the majority of us I’ve never been to Uruguay… And I only wish you much success to travel the rest of the world and take us with you… Much success, bro
Yea bro. I liked this mini vlog. Them 4 hr joints be too long 😂 You should start every new trip with an introduction video like this. Gave me some inspiration to consider visiting there myself.
First, this is not an ocean, its a river...Second, its not dirty, its natural color. And yes, you will find much more afro american there than Argentina. Nice country with friendly people.
This is the type of content I want to see. Exploring the city, speaking to locals, eating the food and immersing yourself as much as possible, This gives us a real taste of the city and county. Keep it up!
Bueno no hablo mucho y tampoco se adentro en la ciudad si hubiera entrado más en la ciudad talves veía más gente negra porque es común o más común de lo que él cree y la comida hay mucho pero mucho más por experimentar y en lugares más baratos o más caros
Uruguay seems like a hidden gem. More African presence and economy seems to be the most stable in South America. My interest has definitely been piqued.
Good video, was debating on Uruguay right after Argentina but eeeh maybe Chile instead . It looks chill but definitely expensive and more of a sleeper country like Paraguay. Correction: Santiago is right there with Montevideo , gonna go on a cut 😂
The colour of the water is because it’s not the ocean, it’s a river. The River Plate, it’s not dirty 😅 The Atlantic ocean in Uruguay starts in Punta del Este
I just discovered your channel. I’m an Uruguayan that lives in England. You should go and experience candombe, it’s a dance from Uruguay. You can found it in barrio Sur or Palermo in the evening.

Is not the ocean is a river...thats why the Brown colour...and you can Take a bath perfectly
Uruguay is probably the most expensive of all the South American countries, but it's banking system is top notch(sometimes referred to as the Switzerland of South America). Uruguay is small; about the same population as Chicago. Ironically, it's not expensive to eat out. There world renowned for their beef. There is a patch of Uruguay near the border of Brazil where they speak Portuguese. It's crazy. On one side of the street it's Uruguay and the other side is Brazil. Also, it's quite progressive. Abortion is legal. Cannabis is legal. Prostitution is legal. Start a business there and you'll pay 5% tax for a certain period of time and no more than 12% after that. They are the largest exporter of software in Latin America and the 4th largest in the world(I think). It's an interesting, quiet place.
Yes, Yes, Yes show us more interaction with the locals while shopping and eating out really ads a more travel touch to get mire of a feel of how it’s like to travel to these places and what to expect when we interact with them.
Water being dark doesn’t always mean it’s dirty most of the time it has to do with the color of the floor. Especially if we’re talking about ocean water
Nice video. I will be heading to Uruguay soon when I’m in Argentina for 4 months. Making my rounds through South America for a year. Another dope city to check out in Uruguay is Punta del este. It’s very close and worth the trip.
It's funny you showed a few books about German Military Leaders. Uruguay was a spot The Nazis planned to attack and takeover. Still a lot of influence in construction when you look closely at the buildings. Thanks for sharing this country, I am adding this one to the bucket list for next year.
The shower, you can take it after a sweaty sunbath. Welcome to uruguay! The open water is not sea/ocean, it is a big river, Rio de la Plata river, the ocean starts in punta del este.
The ocean is not dirty. The Río de la Plata is an estuary, where the Uruguay and Paraná rivers flow into the sea so what you see is brackish muddy river water but it is not polluted and is generally safe for bathing.
Hi my friend the water in the coast of Montevido is not ocean water it is a river called Rio de la Plata that's why it looks brown. That rivers divides Montevido from Buenos Aires. Another think in Uruguay whites aannd blacks are not separate like in US or UK in Uruguay we are all Uruguayans and when you ask for skin color the people will look at you kinda confused because we don't do that separation in here we are all the same.
I’m from Uruguay hahaha and the girl replied “you’ll see many blacks from other places such as Cuba”. She was innocent but she didn’t link Uruguay with blacks and probably didn’t understand exactly what he wanted or meant. In that neighborhood there are a lot of blacks ao no wonder he says it’s more mixed here.

I still enjoyed the vid though 🤗 just had to kick some knowledge ❤ also if you go farther up north, most Uruguayans speak both Spanish and Portuguese
The water is brown because that is not the ocean. That is the river plate that empties into the ocean. Also it is not dirty. The brown color is from the sediment from the river.
You asked if there were a lot of blacks and she corrected you by saying, "Morocha" like us, meaning mixed like us.
There is a concept of "black" and blackness. They recognize admixture which is why she said "brown or tanned" like us. Had it been floyd, she would have said, "Negro or black." It does not mean "dark" it means brown or tanned.@@user-eo1we6qd2s
hello. welcome to the country.
I am Uruguayan and "the ocean" is not "dirty" as you say at minute 2:04. It is not the ocean, it is "the Silver River" which is not really a river, it is an estuary and that is why it is brown.
We have oceanic beaches but to the east of the country.
Austin, these are the kinds of videos I like the best. We get to see the locals and the architect of the city and it doesn't hurt if some of the locals are pretty.😀 Keep up the good work.👍🏾
Great video! I enjoyed the music 🎶 in the background and the nice view of the city and great communication with the locals🎉
Bro I’m Uruguayan ,, the water is brown because it is a river , it’s the widest river in the world ,,, you need to go further up towards Punta del este to get to the sea
gald he did his research before visiting
B.A is Rasist.. I have lived in both and bought home in Uruguay. Love it.❤❤
I love the car free street zones, i think every city should have one designed for pedestrians only just for shopping and chilling. I loved the video, quality, content and the music..more interaction needed, hopefully in the next video. (but i suppose you can't force it as it will come out weird when talking to strangers)
Yo close to the end with "Here comes the Floyd" was Crazy as hell💀😂 This VLog was cool and I love the format
The water is not dirty, is brown because that’s not the ocean, is a river. The widest river in the world that divides us from Argentina. If you want blue water you have to go to Punta Del Este where the Atlantic Ocean begins.
The less you concentrate on the race of someone the more you will enjoy your travels
You do realize I just now started making race topics videos in the last 4 countries right???
4 out of 18. BECAUSE I am black and most of my subscribers are as well. Therefore, this is an important aspect
@@AustonHolleman You know people will try to correct you based on limited information and how they think the world should be. Just keep doing your thing.
@AustonHolleman… I agree with Dan… There’s no need to focus on race in any of your videos… even if most of your subs are black. I’m sure that you’ve traveled enough in the past year to notice that these don’t matter nearly as much as some people (esp from the USA) think.
Good vid 👍
@@tclass99 White Americans will ask how well will they blend in visiting places with mostly darker skin areas of a foreign country and guess what........that's a legit question or concern. The majority of the human race date within their own race so of course race topics is a legit question.
@RichBoy… I have white friends and colleagues and I have never once heard them ask about race when traveling… even when it’s to predominantly black countries like Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, St. Lucia, etc. They’ll sometimes be concerned if they’re going to country where they don’t speak the language but that’s it.
Hi Austin!
I'm glad you are in my beloved Uruguay, and in Montevideo!
I've moved to NYC for YEARS. I'm glad you feel comfortable there. We are known for being friendly and hospitable. That apartment looks GREAT! It has an amazing roof top and you can also BBQ! Yes, Montevideo is where the black population is mostly, and yes, it is around 10% and they are mostly (if I'm not mistaken) in the neighborhoods named BARRIO SUR and PALERMO. As someone said in another comment, you should have the experience of listening to the sound of candombe. IT IS AMAZING. The Montevideo promenade is also an EXCELLENT walk that everyone enjoys. Especially the Pocitos promenade. The quarries of Parque Rodo. Pocitos (the neighborhood), as well as Buceo, Punta Gorda, Carrasco. You have to try our meat and achuras at El Mercado del Puerto (Ciudad Vieja). The famous Chivito. Maybe a good option for this is La Pasiva or El Chivito de Oro. Well...I could go on and on. I'm here if you want to ask me anything. Hug brother and ENJOY URUGUAY!!!
Oh! And Marijuana is legal but is sold in SOME farmacies but you have to be a resident and be registered. Its not THAT easy like MANY people think
Enjoyed your video. Spent 22 days and did not even see or do enough in Uruguay Great country
Interacting with locals gives more depth to the video your production has always been top notch
Good job brother
That place is 2-3 time more expensive too but worth it
I like this one a little more, interacting with the people is important. That’s where you get the real feel of the city.
Well done. Nice video. Uruguay is a great country down south. Enjoy!
Love this style of content.
Continue doing all the interactions loved it
Seems very laid back,go into more stores and speak with the people.
I’ve been following your brother… I can’t believe you have evolved in front of our eyes so much… Of course, we’re looking for the Contant with the females… But you’re opening up so many new places for us… I know the majority of us I’ve never been to Uruguay… And I only wish you much success to travel the rest of the world and take us with you… Much success, bro
Yea bro. I liked this mini vlog. Them 4 hr joints be too long 😂
You should start every new trip with an introduction video like this. Gave me some inspiration to consider visiting there myself.
I’m three minutes in and what a beautiful, unique place… Definitely a vibe… I can see and feel the African roots there
First, this is not an ocean, its a river...Second, its not dirty, its natural color. And yes, you will find much more afro american there than Argentina.
Nice country with friendly people.
This is the type of content I want to see. Exploring the city, speaking to locals, eating the food and immersing yourself as much as possible, This gives us a real taste of the city and county. Keep it up!
Bueno no hablo mucho y tampoco se adentro en la ciudad si hubiera entrado más en la ciudad talves veía más gente negra porque es común o más común de lo que él cree y la comida hay mucho pero mucho más por experimentar y en lugares más baratos o más caros
In Argentina drink mate 24/7 😅 like Uruguay
Dope format.
Uruguay seems like a hidden gem. More African presence and economy seems to be the most stable in South America. My interest has definitely been piqued.
way too expensive there.
@@leemelvin6514 yeah well you pay for what you get. The reason its expensive is because its safe compared to most places in South America.
La comunidad africana aunque es mayor que en argentina, no pasa de un 15% de la población
This is good content I actually get to see what’s it’s like being there
I love the footage and the interaction.
Your gonna have to sleep with the Spanish lessons on at night lol. The Portuguese is on all the time
I like this quality of your video in comparison to the rest of your video. It looks very professiona!
So cool man. Let me know if you need anything in Montevideo, I'm a local here - whatever you need, hit me up! Enjoy your stay.
What are the spots that a young man like him should visit?
Good video, was debating on Uruguay right after Argentina but eeeh maybe Chile instead . It looks chill but definitely expensive and more of a sleeper country like Paraguay. Correction: Santiago is right there with Montevideo , gonna go on a cut 😂
The colour of the water is because it’s not the ocean, it’s a river. The River Plate, it’s not dirty 😅
The Atlantic ocean in Uruguay starts in Punta del Este
Seems like a nice warm vibe in that city; great camerawork.
Keep at it auston we watching,looking,and listening so God bless you brother stay up 👍.
I just discovered your channel. I’m an Uruguayan that lives in England. You should go and experience candombe, it’s a dance from Uruguay. You can found it in barrio Sur or Palermo in the evening.
Is not the ocean is a river...thats why the Brown colour...and you can Take a bath perfectly
What you do is not easy. Salute.
I like where you are now it seems more lively 😊❤
Uruguay is probably the most expensive of all the South American countries, but it's banking system is top notch(sometimes referred to as the Switzerland of South America). Uruguay is small; about the same population as Chicago. Ironically, it's not expensive to eat out. There world renowned for their beef. There is a patch of Uruguay near the border of Brazil where they speak Portuguese. It's crazy. On one side of the street it's Uruguay and the other side is Brazil. Also, it's quite progressive. Abortion is legal. Cannabis is legal. Prostitution is legal. Start a business there and you'll pay 5% tax for a certain period of time and no more than 12% after that. They are the largest exporter of software in Latin America and the 4th largest in the world(I think). It's an interesting, quiet place.
Yes, Yes, Yes show us more interaction with the locals while shopping and eating out really ads a more travel touch to get mire of a feel of how it’s like to travel to these places and what to expect when we interact with them.
Water being dark doesn’t always mean it’s dirty most of the time it has to do with the color of the floor. Especially if we’re talking about ocean water
it´s river water...
@@caritos2927 I’m not saying it’s not dirty, idk but it still could be the floor.
@@GHCMargaritawell, fuck the water AND the floor cuz im not swimming in that lol. But that’s cool knowledge because I absolutely didn’t know that.
@@GHCMargarita It's suspended sediment (sand, silt and clay) transported all the way down from Brazil by Paraná and Uruguay rivers.
Nice video. I will be heading to Uruguay soon when I’m in Argentina for 4 months. Making my rounds through South America for a year. Another dope city to check out in Uruguay is Punta del este. It’s very close and worth the trip.
Enjoy!
Brave black man walking with a banana... 🫣
The music and the plot ran smooothly👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Great vlog! Very informative!
The 'ocean' you mentioned is not the Atlantic Ocean. It's the River Plate. Río de la Plata. Of course, being a river, it's not blue nor green.
You seem more relaxed in Uruguay. I think you will like it in Uruguay.
It's funny you showed a few books about German Military Leaders. Uruguay was a spot The Nazis planned to attack and takeover. Still a lot of influence in construction when you look closely at the buildings. Thanks for sharing this country, I am adding this one to the bucket list for next year.
I too, noticed that it , looked kinda of like he was Europe.
@marcuck9123The germans wanted to take Uruguay but in ww1.
@marcuck9123 th-cam.com/video/aVtbai71lOY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L9DWiVzGif_I3NPm
I like this walk through video show a lot of the city and the people 👍
The shower, you can take it after a sweaty sunbath. Welcome to uruguay! The open water is not sea/ocean, it is a big river, Rio de la Plata river, the ocean starts in punta del este.
Bro I like the walk and talks it’s cool 👍
Interactions are great content. Enjoy a fun trip. 👍
That is not the ocean, the same with buenos aires, those cities share the biggest river in the world, its a river that's why it has that color
Some coffee shop stops would be dope.
Nice mix of classical and modern.
Can you go on a hike!? Everywhere you go, I would love to see some of the beautiful nature from a real hike
The ocean is not dirty. The Río de la Plata is an estuary, where the Uruguay and Paraná rivers flow into the sea so what you see is brackish muddy river water but it is not polluted and is generally safe for bathing.
I like the context where you interact with the locals.
Auston, what is the sound track at beginning of video? Very pleasant melody.
2:36 damn thats american prices lol
Hi my friend the water in the coast of Montevido is not ocean water it is a river called Rio de la Plata that's why it looks brown. That rivers divides Montevido from Buenos Aires. Another think in Uruguay whites aannd blacks are not separate like in US or UK in Uruguay we are all Uruguayans and when you ask for skin color the people will look at you kinda confused because we don't do that separation in here we are all the same.
Mate!!! man you have to try it and it is delicious!
🇺🇾🙏💕
The lagends greetings from Nairobi
Great video
Also, they have a celebration of african culture called Candombe where they play drums and dance in the streets in Barrio Sur.
Fun fact: min 2:10 is NOT Ocean it’s the widest river in the world the Rio de la plata or river plate in English.
Great job Auston 🍻🍻
Link to the accommodation?
Nice recording interactions.
I’m from Uruguay hahaha and the girl replied “you’ll see many blacks from other places such as Cuba”. She was innocent but she didn’t link Uruguay with blacks and probably didn’t understand exactly what he wanted or meant.
In that neighborhood there are a lot of blacks ao no wonder he says it’s more mixed here.
Awesome vlog!
The architecture looks very dope
No insultes nosotros no criticamos al tuyo
I like this airbnb can i get the link please ?
The best part is Punta Del Este. Go there. Trust me.
Peace and Blessings
