Darn, that's way too close to our Little nation

And yes Anglolatino, I know you don't believe that I'm Uruguayan, but I really, really don't care what you believe or stop believing.

Really.

As someone that actually lives in Uruguay, do you think this is too close to your little nation? So close it might benefit from it?

Can't see much employment, investment or technology transfer coming from the area directly west of Uruguay at the moment.

Who said you had to believe me?

They were your own words. Sort of silly if I have to make you believe your OWN words.

You are the ONLY person that doesn't need to believe me.
You are the ONLY person I am NOT trying to convince.

But keep it up. All these posts will make wonderful quotes sometime in the future.

You really are missing the whole point.

It's not too close under any event.

The problem of benefitting from it is the fact you need to speak very good Portuguese (and technical Portuguese at that) and I have yet to meet anyone who can do that.

Two of the families we know very well indeed have a young person each who is either learning Portuguese or who intends to learn it later in the year.

The young man is doing it to find a job because he does not want to go to AR to find work (like his father had to) but is finding it difficult to come to grips with.

The other, a young lady, can already speak Espanol, English, Italian, German and is currently on a six month Field Scholarship to learn French in Canada and then intends to learn Portuguese (she says leaving the hardest until last). She is a very clever and charming young lady.

Two very talented young people both from parents who have professions and are themselves well educated.

I suspect that Brasil will have enough educated professional engineers to fill the requirement.

Travel to the North and you'll find plenty of Uruguayans speaking fluent Portuguese.

Your knowledge of Uruguay is quite limited indeed...

Oh dear, is that so?

Funnily enough I already knew that, but as you are the fount of all knowledge, tell me how many will be aeronautical engineers, Ph.D mathematicians, and from UYU Universities?

Get real for once.
