I am a normal woman who likes to learn and improve myself.
I believe that I am not the best, but I can do my best.
I love to travel to different countries and I love meeting new people.
I really enjoy exercising. I believe that people are so amazing.
Surround yourself with people who see your value and who make the effort to remind you of it.
Open your eyes to the opportunities around you and realise that opportunities are also learning experiences.
Last January, my friends and I were going to Holiday and we had time went to Chuy Brazil.
Chuy is a city in the extreme east of Uruguay, in the Rocha Department, 340 kilometres (211 mi) northeast of Montevideo.It lies on the border with Brazil, separated from its Brazilian sister town of Chui only by a shared avenue that serves as the border, and by the Arroyo Chuy to the east. Chuy's population is currently 9,675 residents as of 2011.
CROSSING BORDERS: URUGUAY TO BRAZIL
This post outlines the transport, route and costs to cross the border between Uruguay and Brazil at Chuy. If you're done travelling the coast of Uruguay and want to reach Porto Alegre or Florianópolis in Brazil, then this is for you. If you're reading this in Montevideo, with no plans to travel further along the cost of Uruguay, then we'd advise you to look up the direct buses from there to Brazil.
Hello, everyone, who reads my blog. I am a Thai woman who is living in Uruguay and this article, I would like to show you about Candombe.
This is video of small candombe.
This is the first time for me to see the real Candombe which makes me wonder and would like to know about it. I was searching for information, What Candombe is and why people love to see it.
In Montevideo, the Candombe starts every Summer in February for whole month.
I had been watching it with friends.
It was a lovely time for me. In the candombe, people were smiling and dancing.
Everyone was having fun along friends and family
The Candombe was a big show whice a lot of people were coming so we needed to buy tickets for our seats in advance. The shows held for two days.
If you couldn't find any ticket you still can see the small candombe whice in your neighborhood during February.
I enjoyed seeing people smiling and dancing, that made my feet moving and dancing along.
Candombe is a rhythm from Africa that has been an important part of Uruguayan culture for more than two hundred years.
Uruguay, with a population of approximately 3.2 million inhabitants, is a small country located in South America, whose neighboring countries are Brazil (162 million) to the east and Argentina (34 million) to the west.
This rhythm came to Uruguay from Africa thanks to the black slaves, and still beats in the streets, in the corridors and in the carnivals of this charming little country.
To understand how this rhythm, deeply rooted in Uruguayan culture, evolved, it is necessary to turn the pages of African and South American history to see how this contagious rhythm anchored in the coasts of Montevideo.
The texts that follow are fragments taken from books and articles about candombe, as well as opinions of some characters who have lived it very closely.

Montevideo, capital of Uruguay was founded by the Spaniards in a process begun in 1724 and completed in 1730.
In 1750 the introduction of African slaves began. At the beginning of the 19th century, the population of African origin in Montevideo surely exceeded 50% of the inhabitants.
The origin of this population was not a homogenous Africa, but a multiethnic and culturally very varied Africa. The majority being 71% of the Bantu area, East Africa and Equatorial Africa, while the rest was of non-Bantu origin, from West Africa: Guinea, Senegal, Gambia, Sierra Leone and Costa de Oro (now Ghana).
The Candombe is the survival of the African ancestral Bantu root brought by the blacks who arrived at the Río de la Plata.
The term, is generic for all the dances of blacks: synonym then, of black dance, evocation of the ritual of the race.
His musical spirit reflects the yearnings of the unfortunate slaves, who were suddenly transplanted to South America, to be sold and subjected to hard work.
They were sorrowful souls, keeping incurable nostalgia for the native lot. In colonial times, newly arrived Africans called their drums with the name of tangó.
With this word they also called the place where blacks performed their candomberas dances, which were also called with this term.
With the word Tangó the place was designated, the instrument and by extension the dance of the blacks.

In Montevideo, the Uruguay of the Sunday nights, the drums of the South Quarter meet in the light of the fire at an intersection of the historic black neighborhood, in a quiet corner of South America.
The flames dance in the powerful light of a bonfire that is lit to warm the drums. Rows of drummers parade down the street in a confusion of muscle, sweat and sound, filling the night with a rhythm from Africa, known as Candombe.
.....
The corner ritual of the street is part of the forgotten chapter of the African Diaspora.
The drums tell the story of the profound impact that African culture has had in Uruguay and elsewhere in Latin America.
In fact, Afro-Uruguayans celebrate a fragment of history, which is often ignored.
Hola a todos, soy de Tailandia y vivo en Montevideo, hoy les mostraré mi vecindario donde vivo ahora.
Vivo en el área de Pocitos y en esta área, hay una playa de pocitos donde a la mayoría de la gente le gusta caminar en invierno o nadar en verano.
Esta es la playa del río, así que el agua no es azul, pero a esta gente a la que le encanta ir, ¿hay alguna razón por la cual?
Déjame decirte por qué amo esta área, aquí están mis razones a continuación.
Hermosa playa limpia
Esta playa sigue mejorando año tras año. Limpio y cuidado. Ideal para caminar o relajarse junto al río. Mi única recomendación es que quizás haya demasiados perros que, según los signos, no deberían estar allí.
Hermoso y seguro
Nos encantó nuestra experiencia disfrutando de esta playa en Montevideo. Es limpio y seguro y completo durante los fines de semana. Disfrutamos de paseos y ver a las familias divirtiéndose.
Gran vista para correr!
Corrí por la acera de la playa. Es animado, tranquilo y súper familiar. Puede apreciar muchas épocas residenciales a lo largo de la costa y puede detenerse para un bocado rápido o largo.
Gran parte de Montevideo
Esta es una de las 3 mejores zonas de Montevideo. Seguro, limpio (aparte de cosas de perros en las aceras, prácticamente en todas partes, nadie se da cuenta después de sus perros: uno se acostumbra), muchos restaurantes agradables, cerca de las playas, modernos y amables. Si eres norteamericano, sentirás inmediatamente un vínculo con Pocitos y Punta Carretas.
Ubicación Ubicación is good location
Maravillosa ubicación ... pequeños cafés fantásticos dispersos por la calle principal, maravilloso paseo para caminar, andar en bicicleta, correr, calles tranquilas, barrio seguro y limpio
Al final, si vienes a visitar Montevideo, no olvides caminar hasta la playa de Pocitos para disfrutar de tu tiempo en este país.
