The Ultimate Uruguay Discovery
Date: 10/23/2009 Author: Len GalvinBoy, are you mad. The Live and Invest Overseas Seminar held a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas was our biggest event ever. We got the chance to meet more readers than at any other seminar we've put on.
Everyone we talked to said the same thing: Why didn't IL tell me how great Uruguay is?
It's all Lee Harrison's fault. He lives in Uruguay—when he was done talking about his adopted homeland, readers wanted more.
Lee talked about the excellent infrastructure and affordable health care ($39 a month for a plan in one of upscale Punta del Este’s private hospitals).
The cultural norms in Uruguay are what you'd expect coming from Europe or North America. The quality of service is the same. Honesty is important. While other countries in Latin America mistake inefficiency for being laid back, Lee says Uruguay is truly efficient and relaxed.
As soon as you apply for residency, you get a special card that immediately gives you all the benefits of residency (like access to healthcare) while your application is processed.
It's easy for North Americans to blend in. Uruguayans are a mix of all complexions, eye colors, and heights, so no-one can play "spot the gringo".
But what really got readers excited were the photos. As Lee spoke, he showed pictures of everyday life in Uruguay. Photos of yachts and boulevards. Businessmen in suits striding along wide clean pavements and bustling sidewalk cafés. Big city French-style architecture and long stretches of golden beach.
We thought we had been telling you about Uruguay…the First World country with the Third World prices. But after the first few disgruntled readers let us have it, we realized our mistake. This little country deserves a lot more attention than we've been giving it. We're sorry. And we're going to make it up to you in a big way.
That's why we're calling the coming week the Ultimate Uruguay Discovery Week.
Our man in Uruguay kicks it off tomorrow with a $35,000 house pick in his favorite big city. Stay tuned.
As part of our apology, we've created the Ultimate Uruguay Discovery Kit, which includes the brand new edition of the Uruguay Owner's Manual (worth $69). You also get three free bonuses: the special reports Top Lifestyle Picks in Uruguay (worth $19) and Uruguay's Best Kept Real Estate Secret Revealed (worth $49)…and the Ultimate Uruguay Audio Collection (worth $49).
Total value: $186. Price of the Ultimate Uruguay Discovery Kit: $69. This is the best Uruguay deal we've ever offered…but it only lasts for the next 5 days. Order yours now.
