During this past month that i've been in montevideo there are a lot of interesting things i've discovered; the people on the streets are one of the things i find the most interesting. Not only in montevideo, but in every city in the world; people are the heart of the city, town or whatever; and what makes it special; it's fascinating; ive always enjoyed just watching people going by; and during these past years, i've started to go a little bit further by talking to random people on the streets or in any public environment.
So; about people in montevideo; seriously, there are lots and lots of beautiful people. You walk and it's rare that you walk more than one street without noticing somebody good-looking. What makes uruguayans more beautiful, is not only their outer beauty but also their inner beauty; they are all so kind and welcoming and respectful; also very warm and helpful. Very modest and humble people; great virtues. Of course not everyone is like that, but a vast majority is. I think it's the best thing Uruguay has; its people.
Anyway, the people i've had the most contact with, besides my bf is the people of my neighbourhood; and also my classmates. I was told this neighbourhood is called "Palermo"... i thought it was downtown; anyway, it is very very close to be downtown where i'm at anyway... but i like the people from my neighbourhood. It's calmed, quiet; but at the same time it's very welcoming and i simply love living here; like, there's everything i need just around the corner. Not exactly just around the corner but quite near... I can walk to get everything i need and go to pretty much everywhere and everything is near and with easy access. I rarely have to take the bus to go to get something else; just the doctor i guess; besides that, i get pretty much everything in the neighbourhood or the nearest hoods.... Next to the apartment building there's some club of some "department" (the uruguayan equivalent of a state, or province) and the people from there are pretty cool. The doormen are very very warm.. like they always tell me "hi neighbor, how's it going?"
sometimes i even talk to the doorman lol.. some random short conversations... they're pretty cool. My classmates are really cool too... more serious to approach to the newbies, like shy i guess... very different from mexico; but once you get to talk to them, they are all pretty cool people... really nice.
Like I said before, not everyone is as cool as it seems or respectful. Like today; i went to some new supermarket (not really new, but at least new for me, cause i've never been to that one before... bf told me about it so i just went to get on some stuff i needed) and ewww... some perverted man, probably mid-40's walks by and says "beautiful"... but you know, with a perverted voice... like eww what's the problem with guys and men saying perverted shit to women on the streets or in other public places'!!!! I hate it... I hate the fact that when i walk i get perverted looks and/or comments. So anyways, like always... i just didnt pay attention and walked away... to get some stuff... then i went to get something else and the man then comes again and says something else and
i just walked away again.... suddenly my cellphone rings, as if i get a text message, so i take it out of the purse to check who was it, and without noticing the man was at my side and tells me "do you want me to phone you?" and 
that was getting very very creepy... i felt stalked and i say; "no; leave me alone!" and went away.... but he didnt; just for a moment and then he goes and follows me wherever the fuck i went! i just walked randomly to get the man away and it was soooo creepy; fucking stalker.... then i thought i lost him and said; well, i'll pay and get the fuck out of here.... and he was also at the cashier and he still stalked me... god! i was so scared... left the line to pay and went away, to somewhere else... i waited for hours inside the supermarket, where there were some guards and lots of people till i felt more safe and then payed, checked if he was there; he wasnt and then i left. Seriously; that's by far one of the creepiest moments i've gone through...i've been followed home, i've felt threatened before; but i felt like... dirty and disgusting after this... like, seriously; that sort of harrasment and stalking is even worse that the possibility of being kidnapped. Other than that... montevidean people are really cool.
