Asado Night

The Manila Mafia in Uruguay got invited to some fun filled Asado Night(!!!) by the client. The invitation stated that the party would start at 8:00PM but being in Latin America for a good 6 months now we decided to arrive at the venue at around 10:00PM which apparently is still to early. :))

No sweat though as they were already preparing the different kinds of meat to be set in the parilla.

The fun lasted till 4:00AM for us but some still continued till the wee hour in the morning!

As usual, I'll stop writing and let the photos do the talking.

Patrimonio, Colonia

During my last two visit in Colonia, the best place to hang out was in the Restaurante de Patrimonio.  

Part of the reason is the loading dock that you can go to to take this awesome photo above.  

Puperia D Los Farioles, Colonia

Arriving in Colonia a few minutes before lunch, the first thing we set out for was look for something to eat!

After a few blocks of walking from the bus station to inner Colonia,  we  decided to eat at the first restaurant we saw. The "Puperia D Los Farioles".

El Torreòn, Colonia

The structure for El Torreòn is actually a tower (in tagalog, torre iyon. gets? :))).
Sadly I don't have any photo of the whole place. As I forgot and was a wee bit hungry at the time.

Note to self: Always take a picture of the outside venue.

Night and Day.

Woke up just in time to see two of God's wonderful creations. 

What better way to describe than by my version of haiku.

Uruguay vs Ghana Street Celebration

After a very unforgettable win of Uruguay against Ghana, Uruguay has won it's first match to stay in the world cup semis. So what better way to celebrate than to shout it out in the streets! 

A lot of dancing and celebrating! It was really a pretty awesome experience to jump and sing out loud even though I don't understand what I was singing. :))

Uruguay vs Corea del Sur Street Celebration

After smashing South Korea, Uruguay was able to enter the World Cup semi-finals leading to a country wide celebration, starting in the streets of Montevideo.

It has been several world cups since Uruguay has entered the semi finals so that made it more enjoyable for the Uruguayans.

Being the only Asian walking along the street parade, I was always asked if I was Korean and telling them 'no' was not enough for them to take a group picture with me. I feel like a celebrity until of course I see a facebook picture of me and a group of people with a caption of "Mejor suerte la próxima vez, coreano dude asiático".
