Total Uruguay Expat Meeting

On Sunday (yesterday) I went to my first expat meeting sponsored by the Total Uruguay website. It was nice to meet fellow foreigners in Montevideo who weren't actually studying abroad, but retiring here or simply just setting up house for a while. It was a nice change of pace. They meet ever Sunday as they have for almost 5 years now at an Italian restaurant in Pocitos. It was kind of weird going as I'm not living here long-term yet not exactly passing through either. They accepted me either way and even joked about what exactly is an "expat"? They really are a nice group of people and a great reason to wake up a little early on Sundays. I'd definitely recommend it and hopefully I'll be able to go again before I leave.
