Which country would you rather live in: Costa Rica or Uruguay?

[Tooting Carmen]

I used to think that Uruguay was at least a little wealthier than Costa Rica, but the latest HDI has them ranked exactly the same. Both are beautiful and (relatively) well-educated and well-governed countries. However, in my case I'd probably go for CR, as it doesn't have the tainted history that Uruguay arguably does: while CR stayed a democracy during the 70's and 80's, Uruguay had one of Latin America's worst "dirty wars" under the civic-military regime of Juan Bordaberry, to the point where at one point it had the most political prisoners per capita in the world!

Es algo menos progre y aunque los exmiembros ticos lo nieguen tengo algo más en común con ellos.

Ticos all the way (aunque sea con la nariz tapada).

How come?

How come?

Closer to home, and to my eyes, far less decadent right now. Plus, the Ticos I have met in person struck me, to a man, as a more mestizoid, less annoying, and overall happier version of Puerto Ricans.

Creo que sí exploras el país podrías validar que es una versión algo más europea de Panamá y Honduras

So what have most Uruguayans you've met been like then? And what do you mean that Uruguay is 'decadent'?
