Mvd boasts two expat groupings holding regular gatherings. Does anybody know of any expat groups or activity elsewhere -- even if only a website? UY is a famousĀ expat haven, and I've been digging for this info as deeply as one can from 5,000 miles away, but so far there's never a hint about expat doings in (for instance) Colonia or Salto.
Let's make this a general ongoing subject. Whatever you've found (or find), please note it here. Thanks, gang.
I came across a facebook page for ex-pats in Punta del Este too, just b4, but sorry I didn't take down the actual name - if you are interested in that, do a search on facebook and hopefully you will find it! It was something like "Punta del este expats", in other words, fairly obvious if you do come across it!
