Montevideo is so amazingly safe. Tonight I was walking back from a restaurant where I was having a mucho grande cerveza with a friend when I saw something I have never seen in any US city.
On the corner of a small street, in bad light, there was a guy counting his money. He was not looking around, or checking his back. None of his friends were near by protecting him. Just one guy concentrating on how much money he had, while being oblivious to the world.
That is until I tried to get a picture of him. The initial flash caught him off guard. He was rightly suspicious of a mutant tall guy speaking a strange language and wanting to take his picture. But it took a bright light to wake him up to the fact that there might be other people around.
Based on this and other observations, Montevideo is considered a safe place by the people who live here.
