Uruguay is a small South American country; its name means "painted birds' river". Its capital is Montevideo, where I was born and live. Let me introduce you into my country...
Uruguay has an area of 176.000 km2, and a population of 3:300.000. Has no high mountains, but several hills, and beautiful beachs. Its main activities are agriculture, cows and sheeps brood, tourism and other services. Tha national sport is "fútbol" (soccer); we won the World Cup in 1930 and 1950, and it is said that each Uruguayan is a coach.
The country has an important cultural life, with some outstanding writers, painters, musicians and actors.
Uruguayan people like politics: I'm not wrong if I say politics is the second (or even first) national sport!!!
