I was waiting to check into the hotel in Punta del Este when I noticed this interesting decor in the lobby. It looks like a tree made from long tapestry of paper coming out of typewriters!! Felt very jealous that they have so many typewriters!!

Did you know that typewriters were originally created to write page number in books?

Uruguay!

The first time I had heard about this country was when I was in third grade. My father had brought home the very first issue of “Anandamela” (a Bengali publication for kids). A few issues later, there was this whole article about the FIFA Soccer Cup.

I had learnt that the very first FIFA Cup was held in this country. And the host country became the champions that year, beating their next-door neighbor in the finals. [As an aside, believe it or not, the USA came third! This is in 1930!]

That is pretty much all I ever learned about the country.

That problem should be fixed by tomorrow morning!!
