Hi, I'm from Uruguay. I just wanted to say the Río de la Plata isn't dirty, the entrance to the Rio de la plata is sandy. Both Uruguay and Argentina have sandy coasts and sand is brought by the Uruguay river stream. In colonial times the Río de la Plata was a way into the heart of south america, and Montevideo was the only place suitable to have a dock for big ships. I hope you are enjoying your stay!
I am from Colombia. Espera. ¿Que hago hablando ingles? Todos sabemos que Uruguay es un crak. ¿Como se explica que siendo mucho mas pequeño y de menor poblacion que Argentina saque tan buenos jugadores? Imagina si fuera un pais con mayor poblacion. Una locura seria.
I really like this format, the camera work is awesome, the music in background is good too. Travel vlogging is an excellent way to gather information and become an advisor or consultant to lead tours. There's much more to this than you think. 80k plus subs is an excellent earmark for your growth.
true! i remember my first time getting a haircut in poland i was extremely nervous (being the only black guy) koodos to austin on going solo he gets my respect!
Hi Austin... Welcome to Uruguay. First of all, congratulations on your channel. I've been following you during your visit to Buenos Aires, and now you've come to my country. I lived in Buenos Aires for 12 years. In our country, we have three major cultural influences: murga, candombe, and tango. Candombe comes from the Afro culture of our country, and usually on weekends in Montevideo, people gather in neighborhoods like Ciudad Vieja, Palermo, and others to play candombe. In February, there's an event called "Las llamadas," where hundreds of people with their groups play the drum. I recommend visiting the neighborhoods of Pocitos and Carrasco-they are very beautiful. The beaches are clearer towards the east, although it's nothing like the Caribbean. If you have time, I also recommend Punta del Este, the exclusive resort of Uruguay, where tourists from all over the world come. I live there. You're welcome, and if you need anything....Don't hesitate to get in touch with me. Good luck! And it doesn't just seem like Dr. Dre; it is Dr. Dre
Es fácil .... Hace poco alguien hizo un vídeo y bueno Brasil está cerca y se iban a Uruguay a invertir por ende ellos empezaron a hablar más ese idioma No me acuerdo cual vídeo era pero Ami me sorprendió v: también me da igual
AH be tripping me out when he asks the locals of spanish speaking countries if they speak portuguese. lol

And then STILL speaking to them in Portuguese AFTER THEY SAY NO!! Thermonuclear cringe!!! I might sue for emotional distress. I'm still a fan though so we'll see...
It's not a big deal if he asks someone if they can speak Portuguese, you never know there may be some who can speak a little seeing that there may be people from Brazil which is the largest country in South America residing there, one never knows, it's good to ask anyway that's what travelling is about and not confined to your own little box 😉

@richieredw9218 Ohhh I get it. Asking only to then ignore their responses and continue speaking to them in Portuguese makes perfect sense. Thanks for clearing that up 👍🏽
I’m loving Uruguay so far. It looks peaceful and feels nostalgic seeing you walking around interacting with the locals. Hope to see more of what the city has to offer. Great work!
Auston, the ocean is not dirty ... the thing is that this bay is really wide, almost 80 km from Montevideo to Punta Pidras in Argentina. This produce a movement of water that sometimes wins the river (the water is brown) and sometimes win the ocean (the water is blue). Have a nice trip !
Hello Auston, I just discovered your channel today, and I really like the vibe of your videos. As others have mentioned in the comments, candombe is a very important part of Uruguayan culture, especially in Montevideo. Although the Afro-descendant population in Uruguay is just above 10%, their cultural impact is significant. I recommend exploring Barrio Sur and Palermo, where the Afro-Uruguayan presence is more prominent. Greetings!
Genéticamente en resumen si mezclás un español con un italiano te da un uruguayo 😁. En Uruguay el 90% de la población es descendiente de inmigrantes europeos (el porcentaje más alto de América, le sigue Canadá con 73%, Argentina 67% y EEUU 66%). Uruguay en el total país tiene entorno de 90% de descendientes de europeos (entre 88 y 92% según que estudio se tome como base) y es el mayor porcentaje por lejos de Latinoamérica. En el caso de los uruguayos con mayoría de ascendientes españoles el porcentaje en el total país es de 40 y algo por ciento (algunos datos hablan del 51%), las regiones que más aportaron fueron las Islas Canarias, Galicia, País Vasco y Catalunia en ese orden. Además Uruguay en el total país después de Italia tiene el mayor porcentaje de descendientes de italianos en el mundo 40%. Siempre mirando datos del total del país. (Googlear inmigración italiana en el Uruguay). La mayoría de los descendientes de italianos en Uruguay son de las regiones de Campania, Lombardía, Liguria y Basilicata en ese orden. Pero a modo de resumen casi todos los uruguayos (un 90%) somos la mezcla de españoles con italianos (aunque también hay un porcentaje no menor, en un segundo escalón, de franceses y alemanes, también, en un tercer escalón de importancia portugueses, britanicos (ingleses y escoceses), irlandeses, suizos, etc, en el 8 o 10% restante hay mitad mulatos (mezcla de blanco con negro) y mitad mestizos (mezcla de blanco con indígena)
@@dizzydaniel1484 jajjaj bien que no conocés el litoral, especialmente el departamento de Colonia, pero el litoral en general, yo personalmente de memoria me acuerdo de haber tenido compañeros de clase de apellidos británicos como Clark, Campbell, Kidd, Clement, Long, Lawlor, Waterstone y más, además aclaré que casi todos somos mezcla de españoles con italianos, y después nombré escalones, los británicos los nombré por allá abajo y suecos nunca nombré, aunque también hay, pero pocos
Hey man! Really cool video. You may want to check out a local type of music called "Candombe", it's an important part of Uruguayan/black culture. Some days you can see them play on the street in different parts of the city.
You really did your thing with this video. I love the upgrade camera, audio is crisp, added more cinematography. The knowledge and content always been there. Keep going! Also, keep doing what you do bro, constructive criticism is great but I in particular do not want you to burnout. So keep doing what your soul tells you to do.
Nice video brother. I wouldn't to ask them if they speak portuguese because if your portuguese was good enough, you would be able to speak decent spanish. Spanish speaker knows that portuguese speaker can understand them pretty well. In fact they will struggle to understand portuguese because it is faster and more compressed language compared to spanish slower and clearer. The point is: it is easier for us portuguese to speak spanish than spanish speak portuguese. when you ask them if they speak portuguese, they will be left wonder if it isn't easier for you to speak spanish, and judge you as less cleaver person.
There is a concept of "black" and blackness. They recognize admixture which is why she said "brown or tanned" like us. Had it been floyd, she would have said, "Negro or black." It does not mean "dark" it means brown or tanned.@@user-eo1we6qd2s
Welcome to Uruguay. I want to make some comments to clarify some of your concepts. Rio de la Plata IS NOT an ocean, it is an ESTUARY. The brown water is not because it s "dirty" but because two rivers flow into it, Rio Paraná from Argentina, and Rio Uruguay between both countries, Argentina and Uruguay. A few miles east, the Estuary itself will flow into the Atlantic Ocean. In there the water is blue (In Punta del Este area) The shower you have on your roof it is probably for very hot days after grilling, I am sure you´ll be hot enough to use it. You are in a neighbourhood, La Aduana, where most of black Uruguayan from Mdeo, live. Right now, there are many more because we also have lots of Cubans, Dominicans, and blacks from some other places, even some from African countries. Black population in Uruguay used to be around 4%. We had some famous soccer players through history which were black. We probably have some in the National Team, right now. I don't know, because most of them are new young kids. The first famous black Uruguayan, was part of the team that won the soccer Olympics in 1924 and 1928, nowadays considered World Championship and also in 1930 he won the First World Cup. His name was José Leandro Andrade, he was from my town, Salto. French named him "la merveille noire." His nephew won the 1950 World Cup. You should also ask about Candombe, which is the most important music from Black Uruguayan. About the mate you bought, if it is the classical mate (made of a gourd) it needs to be "cured" before first use. I wish you could find an Uruguayan who can explain you how. If it is made of any other material... you just need a "bombilla" the straw, and the yerba mate. But even to start mate, it would be nice if you talk to someone because there is a whole traditional form to do it then it lasts longer.

Thank you very much for the information. I am thinking about moving to Uruguay and want to learn as much as possible about the country.
ILOVE the music in this video. I love it like Uruguay. That's a great country and people are so nice. I was three times in that country. My brother got married with a beautiful girl from Montevideo. I knew Palermo neighborhood in Montevideo and I think there are a lot of black people (I hope you undertand my writting). All the best, hugs.
I really liked the format of this vlog, it was perfect. What I wish to see is the nightlife as well as your interaction with a beautiful young female tour guide that shows you more about the culture and things tourists do not find on their own.
Sup! I'm a first born American of Uruguayan parents. The water you are seeing is not dirty. It's an estuary and the fresh water meets the salt water in that area. Go to Punta del Este that is away from the river that divides Uruguay from Argentina and it is waaay bluer... I still enjoyed the vid though 🤗 just had to kick some knowledge ❤ also if you go farther up north, most Uruguayans speak both Spanish and Portuguese
Austin, these are the kinds of videos I like the best. We get to see the locals and the architect of the city and it doesn't hurt if some of the locals are pretty.😀 Keep up the good work.👍🏾
The water is not dirty, is brown because that’s not the ocean, is a river. The widest river in the world that divides us from Argentina. If you want blue water you have to go to Punta Del Este where the Atlantic Ocean begins.
The water is brown because that is not the ocean. That is the river plate that empties into the ocean. Also it is not dirty. The brown color is from the sediment from the river.
You do realize I just now started making race topics videos in the last 4 countries right??? 4 out of 18. BECAUSE I am black and most of my subscribers are as well. Therefore, this is an important aspect
@@AustonHolleman You know people will try to correct you based on limited information and how they think the world should be. Just keep doing your thing.
@AustonHolleman… I agree with Dan… There’s no need to focus on race in any of your videos… even if most of your subs are black. I’m sure that you’ve traveled enough in the past year to notice that these don’t matter nearly as much as some people (esp from the USA) think. Good vid 👍
@@tclass99 White Americans will ask how well will they blend in visiting places with mostly darker skin areas of a foreign country and guess what........that's a legit question or concern. The majority of the human race date within their own race so of course race topics is a legit question.
@RichBoy… I have white friends and colleagues and I have never once heard them ask about race when traveling… even when it’s to predominantly black countries like Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, St. Lucia, etc. They’ll sometimes be concerned if they’re going to country where they don’t speak the language but that’s it.
hello. welcome to the country. I am Uruguayan and "the ocean" is not "dirty" as you say at minute 2:04. It is not the ocean, it is "the Silver River" which is not really a river, it is an estuary and that is why it is brown. We have oceanic beaches but to the east of the country.
Uruguay is probably the most expensive of all the South American countries, but it's banking system is top notch(sometimes referred to as the Switzerland of South America). Uruguay is small; about the same population as Chicago. Ironically, it's not expensive to eat out. There world renowned for their beef. There is a patch of Uruguay near the border of Brazil where they speak Portuguese. It's crazy. On one side of the street it's Uruguay and the other side is Brazil. Also, it's quite progressive. Abortion is legal. Cannabis is legal. Prostitution is legal. Start a business there and you'll pay 5% tax for a certain period of time and no more than 12% after that. They are the largest exporter of software in Latin America and the 4th largest in the world(I think). It's an interesting, quiet place.
Nice vid but stop asking native Spanish speakers if they speak Portuguese. If you really need to communicate something to them, there’s google translate for that. Also, you sound like a “walking fuck stick” entering those stores just to come back out and make some comment about women like you’re just walking around looking for 🐱.
Hi Austin! I'm glad you are in my beloved Uruguay, and in Montevideo! I've moved to NYC for YEARS. I'm glad you feel comfortable there. We are known for being friendly and hospitable. That apartment looks GREAT! It has an amazing roof top and you can also BBQ! Yes, Montevideo is where the black population is mostly, and yes, it is around 10% and they are mostly (if I'm not mistaken) in the neighborhoods named BARRIO SUR and PALERMO. As someone said in another comment, you should have the experience of listening to the sound of candombe. IT IS AMAZING. The Montevideo promenade is also an EXCELLENT walk that everyone enjoys. Especially the Pocitos promenade. The quarries of Parque Rodo. Pocitos (the neighborhood), as well as Buceo, Punta Gorda, Carrasco. You have to try our meat and achuras at El Mercado del Puerto (Ciudad Vieja). The famous Chivito. Maybe a good option for this is La Pasiva or El Chivito de Oro. Well...I could go on and on. I'm here if you want to ask me anything. Hug brother and ENJOY URUGUAY!!! Oh! And Marijuana is legal but is sold in SOME farmacies but you have to be a resident and be registered. Its not THAT easy like MANY people think
Auston's video productions are becoming top notch! Also impressed with his ability to make the effort to learn and speak Spanish and interact with the locals. Everything isn't just about 😼
Bro is walking through the city trying to find a black person so He can start a conversation about How racist the place is 😂😂😂😂😂 that is how you can tell He’s missing He’s hometown 😂😂😂 The ocean is very brown because is actually a river , fresh water. Nice video , just let your racism aside and enjoy your surroundings.
I love the car free street zones, i think every city should have one designed for pedestrians only just for shopping and chilling. I loved the video, quality, content and the music..more interaction needed, hopefully in the next video. (but i suppose you can't force it as it will come out weird when talking to strangers)
Nice video. I will be heading to Uruguay soon when I’m in Argentina for 4 months. Making my rounds through South America for a year. Another dope city to check out in Uruguay is Punta del este. It’s very close and worth the trip.
I feel really weird and unconfortable that you speak that much on the colour of skin. Effectively if you feel ok with our culture is because we dont have a conversation about it. We dont need it. What would happen if a white person was speaking about his colour of skin? It wouldnt be normal
The ocean is not dirty. The Río de la Plata is an estuary, where the Uruguay and Paraná rivers flow into the sea so what you see is brackish muddy river water but it is not polluted and is generally safe for bathing.
I'm really surprised you're aiming at the black population. Uruguay is not the USA where discrimination is so palpable, evident. We live together in perfect harmony and we do NOT judge people because of the color of their skin. Instead, we prioritize other qualities, such as being honest, a good person, generous, empathic. Welcome to a new reality.
Hi my friend the water in the coast of Montevido is not ocean water it is a river called Rio de la Plata that's why it looks brown. That rivers divides Montevido from Buenos Aires. Another think in Uruguay whites aannd blacks are not separate like in US or UK in Uruguay we are all Uruguayans and when you ask for skin color the people will look at you kinda confused because we don't do that separation in here we are all the same.
I wish you the best. I commend your efforts. And I hope you're enjoying yourself. Videos are looking good. Travel is "fun" usually, but it's really not easy. When I saw you go into a bookstore, I thought, "Oh! Great, he's going to get a Spanish phrase book." Nope. Looking at your 2023 as a whole, it seems your plan is more less to maybe use Africa and South America as your launch points/home bases. I'm just one guy with one opinion, but I would say it's time to get that 15 minutes a day on Spanish under your belt. At the very least. You have to know it will make your life better/easier/more successful. Would you consider maybe getting some of those translator earbuds? Just one opinion, I'm reluctant to offer it to you, but I also want the best for you.
15 minutes a day of Spanish? You may as well not learn at all. I tried that 15 min per day stuff and I would forget everything I learned. I need at least 1hr per day
@@AustonHolleman Auston, I'm glad to hear you're making the effort. I did say "at least" 15 min, so I'm hoping you'll put in time --as you see fit though. I don't know what a day looks like for you; filming, booking flights, booking accommodations, keeping in touch with friends, social media, editing, searching music. But I imagine it's a full plate. Can I squeeze in one last opinion? I think you're better off asking if people speak English over PT. It's so, so, so voiding their history. They can forgive an American not speaking Spanish, and even though YOU know it's not Brazil, that question implies "you're all the same down here." Even a friendly statement like "sorry, I just started Spanish, my 2nd language is PT, do you know that?" Please forgive my suggestion, but I feel it's an important consideration. I'm always pulling for you! And thank you for what you do.
@@nathancasey7712 Thanks, I try to ease tips on him. A lot of people are coming at him with "help," so I just try to present options--and not try to cram it down his throat. I did my big South America thing a LOOOOONG time ago, and had zero info and nothing even remotely like a youtube where I could get actual humans to interact as I traveled.
Yea bro. I liked this mini vlog. Them 4 hr joints be too long 😂 You should start every new trip with an introduction video like this. Gave me some inspiration to consider visiting there myself.
It's funny you showed a few books about German Military Leaders. Uruguay was a spot The Nazis planned to attack and takeover. Still a lot of influence in construction when you look closely at the buildings. Thanks for sharing this country, I am adding this one to the bucket list for next year.
First, this is not an ocean, its a river...Second, its not dirty, its natural color. And yes, you will find much more afro american there than Argentina. Nice country with friendly people.
I typically don’t enjoy your controversial videos but l must admit you made me fall in love with Uruguay beautiful country beautiful people love 💕 the women but not thoes in the night club 😊❤❤ just the everyday laid back women.
Welcome to Uruguay! I had to laugh when you asked the girl if there were many blacks, she was very confused. One thing you have to understand is, most of us don't care. The second thing is, in Uruguay, if you are mixed, you are considered white, opposite to the US. And we mix A LOT, so there is not really a separation between what you consider blacks and the rest of the population. So she was very confused, because she does not consider herself to be black and told you where you could find cubans, because they are newcomers and not mixed (yet). BTW, we use "negrito" like "honey" or "dear", no matter the color of your skin. I was really amused by this exchange, it was like the clash of two cultures...
The colour of the water is because it’s not the ocean, it’s a river. The River Plate, it’s not dirty 😅 The Atlantic ocean in Uruguay starts in Punta del Este
Water being dark doesn’t always mean it’s dirty most of the time it has to do with the color of the floor. Especially if we’re talking about ocean water
Uruguay seems like a hidden gem. More African presence and economy seems to be the most stable in South America. My interest has definitely been piqued.
Bro I’m Uruguayan ,, the water is brown because it is a river , it’s the widest river in the world ,,, you need to go further up towards Punta del este to get to the sea
Your Portuguese is really good. Have you been speaking it for a while? I hear that is some parts of Uruguay, especially near Brazil. a lot of people speak or at least understand Portuguese.
… I have to say that apartment is a cool place for the money and Montevideo is cool. The water that flows out to the ocean is brown because of the river sediments.
@AustonHolkeman There's something wrong with they information You got about Uruguay, our population is more than 90% white, since 1515 we're white caucasians. We have no natives, and Venezuelans are from Venezuela they're not Uruguayans. Africans here in Uruguay aren't a 10%, same in Argentina, the difference is they've been hiding for years african-argentinians.
I’m from Uruguay hahaha and the girl replied “you’ll see many blacks from other places such as Cuba”. She was innocent but she didn’t link Uruguay with blacks and probably didn’t understand exactly what he wanted or meant. In that neighborhood there are a lot of blacks ao no wonder he says it’s more mixed here.
Auston take this as constructive criticism. Learn some Spanish my boi 85% of South America speak Spanish. It only makes sense it’s not like you’re going. Back to Brazil anytime soon. You might as well learn Spanish.
What you mention dirty ocean is a river the wider river in the world RIO DE LA PLATA . Ocean stars in maldonado departament .to see beautifull water you must to go maldonado,rocha east coast.you will be inloved.
Don't be offended, but I saw a lot of white people... Italian or Spanish types... the streets were full of them... and they didn't look like tourists....they seem to have a very relaxed attitude....
Hello how are you? The water is brown there because in that part it is a river, to be more exact: that is the Río de la Plata (silver river), the widest river in the world. The Atlantic begins in Punta del Este
6 месяцев назад+1
Is not the ocean is a river...thats why the Brown colour...and you can Take a bath perfectly
Brother you look Cleaner, Happier and more Relaxed not to mention Healthier. I just remember your earlier videos. Tell me, do you feel that Spiritual Awakening or anything like that? Either way looks good on you. Grand Rising young Man. 😂
Hello first time in this channel. I was born in Uruguay. I have been living in the USA almost 50 years. My experience in Uruguay has never been about race. If you are white or you black it doesn’t matter if you are a good person. When I was a kid in school I never looked a classmate for his skin color. I was culture shock in the US when many people like you or dislike you according to the color of your skin. Americans are the one who differentiate. So please don’t try to make your trip about race. In Uruguay we appreciate, Candombe & Carnaval is part of our cultural which has African roots, as well as Tango and Folclore music.. my advice is to go and learn with a neutral heart. Uruguay is a very advanced cultural & socially..
The shower, you can take it after a sweaty sunbath. Welcome to uruguay! The open water is not sea/ocean, it is a big river, Rio de la Plata river, the ocean starts in punta del este.
Good video, was debating on Uruguay right after Argentina but eeeh maybe Chile instead . It looks chill but definitely expensive and more of a sleeper country like Paraguay. Correction: Santiago is right there with Montevideo , gonna go on a cut 😂
You missed out on that banana. Local tree ripened bananas are way better than the ones you get in North America. As a botanist that was hard to watch. 😂😢
Yes, Yes, Yes show us more interaction with the locals while shopping and eating out really ads a more travel touch to get mire of a feel of how it’s like to travel to these places and what to expect when we interact with them.
I know you speak portuguese, but bro you gotta learn a little more spanish! Get you a chick overthere, go to a restaurant or a cafe and let her teach you

Hi Austin... Welcome to Uruguay. First of all, congratulations on your channel. I've been following you during your visit to Buenos Aires, and now you've come to my country. I lived in Buenos Aires for 12 years. In our country, we have three major cultural influences: murga, candombe, and tango. Candombe comes from the Afro culture of our country, and usually on weekends in Montevideo, people gather in neighborhoods like Ciudad Vieja, Palermo, and others to play candombe. In February, there's an event called "Las llamadas," where hundreds of people with their groups play the drum. I recommend visiting the neighborhoods of Pocitos and Carrasco-they are very beautiful. The beaches are clearer towards the east, although it's nothing like the Caribbean. If you have time, I also recommend Punta del Este, the exclusive resort of Uruguay, where tourists from all over the world come. I live there. You're welcome, and if you need anything....Don't hesitate to get in touch with me. Good luck! And it doesn't just seem like Dr. Dre; it is Dr. Dre
Why keep asking if they speak Portuguese when most South American countries speak Spanish apart from Brazil which was a Portuguese colony.
Brazil is a black country. So I guess they just assume.
Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana don’t speak Spanish either…
@@MrJones936 well obviously the French colonists countries speak French others speak English and some speak Dutch
@@jasontaylor404 America and Americans don’t know much about the rest of the world,Even Fox News stated that everything south is Mexican.

Also, is not actually only ocean. It is a mix of river (sweet water) and ocean water.
Hello Auston, I just discovered your channel today, and I really like the vibe of your videos. As others have mentioned in the comments, candombe is a very important part of Uruguayan culture, especially in Montevideo. Although the Afro-descendant population in Uruguay is just above 10%, their cultural impact is significant. I recommend exploring Barrio Sur and Palermo, where the Afro-Uruguayan presence is more prominent. Greetings!
Genéticamente en resumen si mezclás un español con un italiano te da un uruguayo 😁. En Uruguay el 90% de la población es descendiente de inmigrantes europeos (el porcentaje más alto de América, le sigue Canadá con 73%, Argentina 67% y EEUU 66%). Uruguay en el total país tiene entorno de 90% de descendientes de europeos (entre 88 y 92% según que estudio se tome como base) y es el mayor porcentaje por lejos de Latinoamérica. En el caso de los uruguayos con mayoría de ascendientes españoles el porcentaje en el total país es de 40 y algo por ciento (algunos datos hablan del 51%), las regiones que más aportaron fueron las Islas Canarias, Galicia, País Vasco y Catalunia en ese orden. Además Uruguay en el total país después de Italia tiene el mayor porcentaje de descendientes de italianos en el mundo 40%. Siempre mirando datos del total del país. (Googlear inmigración italiana en el Uruguay). La mayoría de los descendientes de italianos en Uruguay son de las regiones de Campania, Lombardía, Liguria y Basilicata en ese orden. Pero a modo de resumen casi todos los uruguayos (un 90%) somos la mezcla de españoles con italianos (aunque también hay un porcentaje no menor, en un segundo escalón, de franceses y alemanes, también, en un tercer escalón de importancia portugueses, britanicos (ingleses y escoceses), irlandeses, suizos, etc, en el 8 o 10% restante hay mitad mulatos (mezcla de blanco con negro) y mitad mestizos (mezcla de blanco con indígena)
Barrio Sur is plenty of black people making sounds
@@dizzydaniel1484 jajjaj bien que no conocés el litoral, especialmente el departamento de Colonia, pero el litoral en general, yo personalmente de memoria me acuerdo de haber tenido compañeros de clase de apellidos británicos como Clark, Campbell, Kidd, Clement, Long, Lawlor, Waterstone y más, además aclaré que casi todos somos mezcla de españoles con italianos, y después nombré escalones, los británicos los nombré por allá abajo y suecos nunca nombré, aunque también hay, pero pocos
Hey man! Really cool video. You may want to check out a local type of music called "Candombe", it's an important part of Uruguayan/black culture.
Some days you can see them play on the street in different parts of the city.
Candombe is big time in Montevideo. I love it.
You really did your thing with this video. I love the upgrade camera, audio is crisp, added more cinematography. The knowledge and content always been there. Keep going!
Also, keep doing what you do bro, constructive criticism is great but I in particular do not want you to burnout. So keep doing what your soul tells you to do.
Much better.. geting out and about conversing with locals. Who wants to stare at you talking in a hotel room all week
I do what I feel is right in the moment
This what I’m talking about!! Great video!!! Interactions are the way to go!!
Nice video brother. I wouldn't to ask them if they speak portuguese because if your portuguese was good enough, you would be able to speak decent spanish. Spanish speaker knows that portuguese speaker can understand them pretty well. In fact they will struggle to understand portuguese because it is faster and more compressed language compared to spanish slower and clearer. The point is: it is easier for us portuguese to speak spanish than spanish speak portuguese. when you ask them if they speak portuguese, they will be left wonder if it isn't easier for you to speak spanish, and judge you as less cleaver person.
There're too many black people here in Uruguay! Not like in the Us but exist an important amount of black people here (around 4 or 6%)
You asked if there were a lot of blacks and she corrected you by saying, "Morocha" like us, meaning mixed like us.
There is a concept of "black" and blackness. They recognize admixture which is why she said "brown or tanned" like us. Had it been floyd, she would have said, "Negro or black." It does not mean "dark" it means brown or tanned.@@user-eo1we6qd2s
Welcome to Uruguay. I want to make some comments to clarify some of your concepts.
Rio de la Plata IS NOT an ocean, it is an ESTUARY. The brown water is not because it s "dirty" but because two rivers flow into it, Rio Paraná from Argentina, and Rio Uruguay between both countries, Argentina and Uruguay. A few miles east, the Estuary itself will flow into the Atlantic Ocean. In there the water is blue (In Punta del Este area)
The shower you have on your roof it is probably for very hot days after grilling, I am sure you´ll be hot enough to use it.
You are in a neighbourhood, La Aduana, where most of black Uruguayan from Mdeo, live. Right now, there are many more because we also have lots of Cubans, Dominicans, and blacks from some other places, even some from African countries. Black population in Uruguay used to be around 4%. We had some famous soccer players through history which were black. We probably have some in the National Team, right now. I don't know, because most of them are new young kids. The first famous black Uruguayan, was part of the team that won the soccer Olympics in 1924 and 1928, nowadays considered World Championship and also in 1930 he won the First World Cup. His name was José Leandro Andrade, he was from my town, Salto. French named him "la merveille noire." His nephew won the 1950 World Cup.
You should also ask about Candombe, which is the most important music from Black Uruguayan.
About the mate you bought, if it is the classical mate (made of a gourd) it needs to be "cured" before first use. I wish you could find an Uruguayan who can explain you how. If it is made of any other material... you just need a "bombilla" the straw, and the yerba mate. But even to start mate, it would be nice if you talk to someone because there is a whole traditional form to do it then it lasts longer.
Genéticamente en resumen si mezclás un español con un italiano te da un uruguayo 😁. En Uruguay el 90% de la población es descendiente de inmigrantes europeos (el porcentaje más alto de América, le sigue Canadá con 73%, Argentina 67% y EEUU 66%). Uruguay en el total país tiene entorno de 90% de descendientes de europeos (entre 88 y 92% según que estudio se tome como base) y es el mayor porcentaje por lejos de Latinoamérica. En el caso de los uruguayos con mayoría de ascendientes españoles el porcentaje en el total país es de 40 y algo por ciento (algunos datos hablan del 51%), las regiones que más aportaron fueron las Islas Canarias, Galicia, País Vasco y Catalunia en ese orden. Además Uruguay en el total país después de Italia tiene el mayor porcentaje de descendientes de italianos en el mundo 40%. Siempre mirando datos del total del país. (Googlear inmigración italiana en el Uruguay). La mayoría de los descendientes de italianos en Uruguay son de las regiones de Campania, Lombardía, Liguria y Basilicata en ese orden. Pero a modo de resumen casi todos los uruguayos (un 90%) somos la mezcla de españoles con italianos (aunque también hay un porcentaje no menor, en un segundo escalón, de franceses y alemanes, también, en un tercer escalón de importancia portugueses, britanicos (ingleses y escoceses), irlandeses, suizos, etc, en el 8 o 10% restante hay mitad mulatos (mezcla de blanco con negro) y mitad mestizos (mezcla de blanco con indígena)
Thank you very much for the information. I am thinking about moving to Uruguay and want to learn as much as possible about the country.
Yes!
Excelente clarification. Uruguay is a beautiful country. Best money spent.
ILOVE the music in this video. I love it like Uruguay. That's a great country and people are so nice. I was three times in that country. My brother got married with a beautiful girl from Montevideo.
I knew Palermo neighborhood in Montevideo and I think there are a lot of black people (I hope you undertand my writting).
All the best, hugs.
I really liked the format of this vlog, it was perfect. What I wish to see is the nightlife as well as your interaction with a beautiful young female tour guide that shows you more about the culture and things tourists do not find on their own.
Thanks! I’m on it
Sup! I'm a first born American of Uruguayan parents. The water you are seeing is not dirty. It's an estuary and the fresh water meets the salt water in that area. Go to Punta del Este that is away from the river that divides Uruguay from Argentina and it is waaay bluer... I still enjoyed the vid though 🤗 just had to kick some knowledge ❤ also if you go farther up north, most Uruguayans speak both Spanish and Portuguese
Seems very laid back,go into more stores and speak with the people.
Austin, these are the kinds of videos I like the best. We get to see the locals and the architect of the city and it doesn't hurt if some of the locals are pretty.😀 Keep up the good work.👍🏾
The water is not dirty, is brown because that’s not the ocean, is a river. The widest river in the world that divides us from Argentina. If you want blue water you have to go to Punta Del Este where the Atlantic Ocean begins.
Yo close to the end with "Here comes the Floyd" was Crazy as hell💀😂 This VLog was cool and I love the format
The water is brown because that is not the ocean. That is the river plate that empties into the ocean. Also it is not dirty. The brown color is from the sediment from the river.
The less you concentrate on the race of someone the more you will enjoy your travels
You do realize I just now started making race topics videos in the last 4 countries right???
4 out of 18. BECAUSE I am black and most of my subscribers are as well. Therefore, this is an important aspect
@@AustonHolleman You know people will try to correct you based on limited information and how they think the world should be. Just keep doing your thing.
@AustonHolleman… I agree with Dan… There’s no need to focus on race in any of your videos… even if most of your subs are black. I’m sure that you’ve traveled enough in the past year to notice that these don’t matter nearly as much as some people (esp from the USA) think.
Good vid 👍
@@tclass99 White Americans will ask how well will they blend in visiting places with mostly darker skin areas of a foreign country and guess what........that's a legit question or concern. The majority of the human race date within their own race so of course race topics is a legit question.
@RichBoy… I have white friends and colleagues and I have never once heard them ask about race when traveling… even when it’s to predominantly black countries like Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, St. Lucia, etc. They’ll sometimes be concerned if they’re going to country where they don’t speak the language but that’s it.
In Argentina drink mate 24/7 😅 like Uruguay
hello. welcome to the country.
I am Uruguayan and "the ocean" is not "dirty" as you say at minute 2:04. It is not the ocean, it is "the Silver River" which is not really a river, it is an estuary and that is why it is brown.
We have oceanic beaches but to the east of the country.
What you called an “Dirty Ocean” is actually a river.
Uruguay is probably the most expensive of all the South American countries, but it's banking system is top notch(sometimes referred to as the Switzerland of South America). Uruguay is small; about the same population as Chicago. Ironically, it's not expensive to eat out. There world renowned for their beef. There is a patch of Uruguay near the border of Brazil where they speak Portuguese. It's crazy. On one side of the street it's Uruguay and the other side is Brazil. Also, it's quite progressive. Abortion is legal. Cannabis is legal. Prostitution is legal. Start a business there and you'll pay 5% tax for a certain period of time and no more than 12% after that. They are the largest exporter of software in Latin America and the 4th largest in the world(I think). It's an interesting, quiet place.
Nice vid but stop asking native Spanish speakers if they speak Portuguese. If you really need to communicate something to them, there’s google translate for that. Also, you sound like a “walking fuck stick” entering those stores just to come back out and make some comment about women like you’re just walking around looking for 🐱.
Hi Austin!
I'm glad you are in my beloved Uruguay, and in Montevideo!
I've moved to NYC for YEARS. I'm glad you feel comfortable there. We are known for being friendly and hospitable. That apartment looks GREAT! It has an amazing roof top and you can also BBQ! Yes, Montevideo is where the black population is mostly, and yes, it is around 10% and they are mostly (if I'm not mistaken) in the neighborhoods named BARRIO SUR and PALERMO. As someone said in another comment, you should have the experience of listening to the sound of candombe. IT IS AMAZING. The Montevideo promenade is also an EXCELLENT walk that everyone enjoys. Especially the Pocitos promenade. The quarries of Parque Rodo. Pocitos (the neighborhood), as well as Buceo, Punta Gorda, Carrasco. You have to try our meat and achuras at El Mercado del Puerto (Ciudad Vieja). The famous Chivito. Maybe a good option for this is La Pasiva or El Chivito de Oro. Well...I could go on and on. I'm here if you want to ask me anything. Hug brother and ENJOY URUGUAY!!!
Oh! And Marijuana is legal but is sold in SOME farmacies but you have to be a resident and be registered. Its not THAT easy like MANY people think
Auston's video productions are becoming top notch! Also impressed with his ability to make the effort to learn and speak Spanish and interact with the locals. Everything isn't just about 😼
💯
But everything is about 🍑 bro
But everything is about 🍑 bro
Maldita obsesión yankee con los colores de piel. A quien le importa?!?!
Here go again with the afroamerican mentality 😂
Bro is walking through the city trying to find a black person so He can start a conversation about How racist the place is 😂😂😂😂😂 that is how you can tell He’s missing He’s hometown 😂😂😂
The ocean is very brown because is actually a river , fresh water.
Nice video , just let your racism aside and enjoy your surroundings.
That is not the ocean, the same with buenos aires, those cities share the biggest river in the world, its a river that's why it has that color
I love the car free street zones, i think every city should have one designed for pedestrians only just for shopping and chilling. I loved the video, quality, content and the music..more interaction needed, hopefully in the next video. (but i suppose you can't force it as it will come out weird when talking to strangers)
Nice video. I will be heading to Uruguay soon when I’m in Argentina for 4 months. Making my rounds through South America for a year. Another dope city to check out in Uruguay is Punta del este. It’s very close and worth the trip.
Enjoy!
I feel really weird and unconfortable that you speak that much on the colour of skin. Effectively if you feel ok with our culture is because we dont have a conversation about it. We dont need it. What would happen if a white person was speaking about his colour of skin? It wouldnt be normal
The 'ocean' you mentioned is not the Atlantic Ocean. It's the River Plate. Río de la Plata. Of course, being a river, it's not blue nor green.
For the Black Americans be "black" mind be like the afro americans and like their point of view. The race isn't important in latin America.
The ocean is not dirty. The Río de la Plata is an estuary, where the Uruguay and Paraná rivers flow into the sea so what you see is brackish muddy river water but it is not polluted and is generally safe for bathing.
I'm really surprised you're aiming at the black population. Uruguay is not the USA where discrimination is so palpable, evident. We live together in perfect harmony and we do NOT judge people because of the color of their skin. Instead, we prioritize other qualities, such as being honest, a good person, generous, empathic. Welcome to a new reality.
Hi my friend the water in the coast of Montevido is not ocean water it is a river called Rio de la Plata that's why it looks brown. That rivers divides Montevido from Buenos Aires. Another think in Uruguay whites aannd blacks are not separate like in US or UK in Uruguay we are all Uruguayans and when you ask for skin color the people will look at you kinda confused because we don't do that separation in here we are all the same.
Interacting with locals gives more depth to the video your production has always been top notch
Brave black man walking with a banana... 🫣
You seem more relaxed in Uruguay. I think you will like it in Uruguay.
I wish you the best. I commend your efforts. And I hope you're enjoying yourself. Videos are looking good. Travel is "fun" usually, but it's really not easy.
When I saw you go into a bookstore, I thought, "Oh! Great, he's going to get a Spanish phrase book." Nope. Looking at your 2023 as a whole, it seems your plan is more less to maybe use Africa and South America as your launch points/home bases.
I'm just one guy with one opinion, but I would say it's time to get that 15 minutes a day on Spanish under your belt. At the very least. You have to know it will make your life better/easier/more successful. Would you consider maybe getting some of those translator earbuds? Just one opinion, I'm reluctant to offer it to you, but I also want the best for you.
15 minutes a day of Spanish? You may as well not learn at all. I tried that 15 min per day stuff and I would forget everything I learned.
I need at least 1hr per day
@@AustonHolleman Auston, I'm glad to hear you're making the effort. I did say "at least" 15 min, so I'm hoping you'll put in time --as you see fit though. I don't know what a day looks like for you; filming, booking flights, booking accommodations, keeping in touch with friends, social media, editing, searching music. But I imagine it's a full plate.
Can I squeeze in one last opinion? I think you're better off asking if people speak English over PT. It's so, so, so voiding their history. They can forgive an American not speaking Spanish, and even though YOU know it's not Brazil, that question implies "you're all the same down here." Even a friendly statement like "sorry, I just started Spanish, my 2nd language is PT, do you know that?" Please forgive my suggestion, but I feel it's an important consideration. I'm always pulling for you! And thank you for what you do.
@@BobKnight-mm2zeVery good points. Also since he knows Portuguese it'll take a lot less effort to learn basic conversational Spanish
@@nathancasey7712 Thanks, I try to ease tips on him. A lot of people are coming at him with "help," so I just try to present options--and not try to cram it down his throat. I did my big South America thing a LOOOOONG time ago, and had zero info and nothing even remotely like a youtube where I could get actual humans to interact as I traveled.
Yea bro. I liked this mini vlog. Them 4 hr joints be too long 😂
You should start every new trip with an introduction video like this. Gave me some inspiration to consider visiting there myself.
That place is 2-3 time more expensive too but worth it
It's funny you showed a few books about German Military Leaders. Uruguay was a spot The Nazis planned to attack and takeover. Still a lot of influence in construction when you look closely at the buildings. Thanks for sharing this country, I am adding this one to the bucket list for next year.
I too, noticed that it , looked kinda of like he was Europe.
@marcuck9123The germans wanted to take Uruguay but in ww1.
@marcuck9123 ruclips.net/video/aVtbai71lOY/видео.htmlsi=L9DWiVzGif_I3NPm
First, this is not an ocean, its a river...Second, its not dirty, its natural color. And yes, you will find much more afro american there than Argentina.
Nice country with friendly people.
Uruguay is a cool place to visit but can be expensive 🎉
I typically don’t enjoy your controversial videos but l must admit you made me fall in love with Uruguay beautiful country beautiful people love 💕 the women but not thoes in the night club 😊❤❤ just the everyday laid back women.
Your gonna have to sleep with the Spanish lessons on at night lol. The Portuguese is on all the time
Welcome to Uruguay! I had to laugh when you asked the girl if there were many blacks, she was very confused. One thing you have to understand is, most of us don't care. The second thing is, in Uruguay, if you are mixed, you are considered white, opposite to the US. And we mix A LOT, so there is not really a separation between what you consider blacks and the rest of the population. So she was very confused, because she does not consider herself to be black and told you where you could find cubans, because they are newcomers and not mixed (yet). BTW, we use "negrito" like "honey" or "dear", no matter the color of your skin. I was really amused by this exchange, it was like the clash of two cultures...
That's Is the Río de la Plata, not the Atlantic Ocean...
The colour of the water is because it’s not the ocean, it’s a river. The River Plate, it’s not dirty 😅
The Atlantic ocean in Uruguay starts in Punta del Este
Can we leave Uruguay the way it is ? Contries dont have to be proving nothing imo
Water being dark doesn’t always mean it’s dirty most of the time it has to do with the color of the floor. Especially if we’re talking about ocean water
it´s river water...
@@caritos2927 I’m not saying it’s not dirty, idk but it still could be the floor.
@@GHCMargaritawell, fuck the water AND the floor cuz im not swimming in that lol. But that’s cool knowledge because I absolutely didn’t know that.
@@GHCMargarita It's suspended sediment (sand, silt and clay) transported all the way down from Brazil by Paraná and Uruguay rivers.
Enjoyed your video. Spent 22 days and did not even see or do enough in Uruguay Great country
Uruguay seems like a hidden gem. More African presence and economy seems to be the most stable in South America. My interest has definitely been piqued.
way too expensive there.
@@leemelvin6514 yeah well you pay for what you get. The reason its expensive is because its safe compared to most places in South America.
La comunidad africana aunque es mayor que en argentina, no pasa de un 15% de la población
Bro I’m Uruguayan ,, the water is brown because it is a river , it’s the widest river in the world ,,, you need to go further up towards Punta del este to get to the sea
gald he did his research before visiting
B.A is Rasist.. I have lived in both and bought home in Uruguay. Love it.❤❤
haha you have learn spanish man is quite similar tan portugues
Your Portuguese is really good. Have you been speaking it for a while? I hear that is some parts of Uruguay, especially near Brazil. a lot of people speak or at least understand Portuguese.
… I have to say that apartment is a cool place for the money and Montevideo is cool. The water that flows out to the ocean is brown because of the river sediments.
This is good content I actually get to see what’s it’s like being there
I love the footage and the interaction.
I like this walk through video show a lot of the city and the people 👍
@AustonHolkeman There's something wrong with they information You got about Uruguay, our population is more than 90% white, since 1515 we're white caucasians. We have no natives, and Venezuelans are from Venezuela they're not Uruguayans. Africans here in Uruguay aren't a 10%, same in Argentina, the difference is they've been hiding for years african-argentinians.
water is not dirty 🤣. It is brown because it is a river. Sometimes it is blue when the ocean pulls more water, it depends on the day
The best part is Punta Del Este. Go there. Trust me.
I’m from Uruguay hahaha and the girl replied “you’ll see many blacks from other places such as Cuba”. She was innocent but she didn’t link Uruguay with blacks and probably didn’t understand exactly what he wanted or meant.
In that neighborhood there are a lot of blacks ao no wonder he says it’s more mixed here.
Auston take this as constructive criticism. Learn some Spanish my boi 85% of South America speak Spanish. It only makes sense it’s not like you’re going. Back to Brazil anytime soon. You might as well learn Spanish.
What you mention dirty ocean is a river the wider river in the world RIO DE LA PLATA . Ocean stars in maldonado departament .to see beautifull water you must to go maldonado,rocha east coast.you will be inloved.
Don't be offended, but I saw a lot of white people... Italian or Spanish types... the streets were full of them... and they didn't look like tourists....they seem to have a very relaxed attitude....
Why would I be offended this isn’t my country lol
Hello how are you? The water is brown there because in that part it is a river, to be more exact: that is the Río de la Plata (silver river), the widest river in the world. The Atlantic begins in Punta del Este
Is not the ocean is a river...thats why the Brown colour...and you can Take a bath perfectly
Montay-vee-day-oh
Brother you look Cleaner, Happier and more Relaxed not to mention Healthier. I just remember your earlier videos. Tell me, do you feel that Spiritual Awakening or anything like that? Either way looks good on you. Grand Rising young Man. 😂
Hello first time in this channel. I was born in Uruguay. I have been living in the USA almost 50 years. My experience in Uruguay has never been about race. If you are white or you black it doesn’t matter if you are a good person. When I was a kid in school I never looked a classmate for his skin color. I was culture shock in the US when many people like you or dislike you according to the color of your skin. Americans are the one who differentiate. So please don’t try to make your trip about race. In Uruguay we appreciate, Candombe & Carnaval is part of our cultural which has African roots, as well as Tango and Folclore music.. my advice is to go and learn with a neutral heart. Uruguay is a very advanced cultural & socially..
The shower, you can take it after a sweaty sunbath. Welcome to uruguay! The open water is not sea/ocean, it is a big river, Rio de la Plata river, the ocean starts in punta del este.
The architecture looks very dope
No insultes nosotros no criticamos al tuyo
Argentina and Uruguay are two of the most white European countries in South America.
There known for their meat 🍖🍖🍖 steak prime cuts etc ‼️‼️‼️ good job keep talking to the people 👍🏾 W
Good video, was debating on Uruguay right after Argentina but eeeh maybe Chile instead . It looks chill but definitely expensive and more of a sleeper country like Paraguay. Correction: Santiago is right there with Montevideo , gonna go on a cut 😂
The culture looks peace. The Sista at the beauty saloon looks interesting! I wonder what her story is...
Just so you know The water u said was Dirty its not the Ocean it's the world's widest river
You missed out on that banana. Local tree ripened bananas are way better than the ones you get in North America. As a botanist that was hard to watch. 😂😢
Cross the border into Brazil.
That would be something if he went to Southern Brazil. That's the safest part too.
Yes, Yes, Yes show us more interaction with the locals while shopping and eating out really ads a more travel touch to get mire of a feel of how it’s like to travel to these places and what to expect when we interact with them.
1:59 Ocean is 100 kilometers from that placewhere you are. That's a river!
Fun fact: min 2:10 is NOT Ocean it’s the widest river in the world the Rio de la plata or river plate in English.
I know you speak portuguese, but bro you gotta learn a little more spanish! Get you a chick overthere, go to a restaurant or a cafe and let her teach you
It's not an ocean, it's a river. that is the reason for the color of the water
So cool man. Let me know if you need anything in Montevideo, I'm a local here - whatever you need, hit me up! Enjoy your stay.
What are the spots that a young man like him should visit?
Dont get drunk and fall off that bed
Auston, what is the sound track at beginning of video? Very pleasant melody.
