Are you looking for a great haberdashery store?

I have found an excellent haberdashery (merceria) called Merceria el Tigre. This merceria has the best selection I have ever found in an Uruguayan merceria - I even managed to find items that I thought were not possible to find in Uruguay. I would recommend a visit to this merceria.

Are you looking for delicious Indian snacks in Montevideo?

Look no further, Snackaholics is offering the most delicious Indian snacks right here in Montevideo!  I ordered the samosa and onion kachori and they are so tasty.  You will have to pick your food because Snackaholics doesn't offer delivery, but it is totally worth it.  We ordered medium spice and they were just right for us (too spicy for our kids though).  I would recommend you try Snackaholics!

Have you seen the new red light/speed cameras in Uruguay?

There are new red light cameras on Avenida Italia and speed cameras on Avenida Italia, Rambla, Avenida Giannattasio and the IB.  A great initiative for Uruguay - whether it is to make the government more money or to actually increase safety on the roads.  Let's see whether the cameras make a difference to the crazy driving in Uruguay!!!
