If you are looking for a relaxed safe country that has a sophisticated population in climate similar to California, Uruguay has a lot to offer.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisplatina for the history of Uruguay from the beginning to today.

Today Uruguay offers a visitor or foreign resident an opportunity to live an outdoor lifestyle while being close to culture in a stable democratically elected government. Uruguay is often referred to as the Switzerland of South America for good reason. Uruguay is a small homogeneous country that has strong  European influences in it's values, culture, and look of the people.

- The country sits on top of the largest underground fresh water supply in the world thus water is clean and healthy right out of the tap.
- There are ATM machines conveniently located throughout the country that can access any ATM account in the world. These ATM's dispense Uruguayan pesos and as well as US dollars.

- There are half a dozen very good private bilingual schools from K to 12th grade in the capital of Montevideo as well as Punta De Este. Fresh locally grown produce is wonderful.

- Grain fed non-hormone beef and chicken is world famous.

- Art and music are very important in the country.

- Sports range from tennis and golf to surfing and horseback riding.  

Uruguay is also a great base in which to explore the rest of South America as it is located in the center of South America. Buenos Aires, a sophisticated city of 12 million people, is only a a 2 hour ferry ride or a 30 minute plane flight away. Within a 2 hour flight by air one can be in Rio de Janiero or skiing in Chile or exploring wild Patagonia in Chile/ Argentina. There are literally hundreds of exciting destinations to discover in this part of South America.
