Today was a rainy day in Montevideo and again I saw one of those things that really attract attention when one thinks of Uruguay as tourism and services.
Punta Carretas Shopping is one of the main commercial and tourist Montevideo, unique shopping in Uruguay that is connected directly to a formidable five-star hotel, the Sheraton Hotel. In addition, until recently there was the collection point and passenger arrivals Buquebús company, which now has independent offices located directly opposite the main entrance.
As it was rainy day, people in general who went to work, touring or shopping, especially tourists, seeking refuge inside the shopping. And when you try to leave it, the situation was the case comes to us. The luxury shopping has no roof or internal input for taxis or limos. Thus, despite the rain, who wants to take a taxi must go through the front door, walk 40 meters in the open to reach the taxi stand, and expect there to be some appropriate meter is "liberated" from the bus stop is at one corner. Tragicomedy is that taxis stopping virtually does not exist, is a stop with a roof, not even any seats, just one a tail there, and usually a young, sometimes an incredibly minor, intercom calls to taxi meters waiting in the corner.
really see people waiting in the rain to get a taxi is unfortunate and curious at least when high-spending tourists, who probably just spend a few dollars or euros in their purchases and now wait in the rain. Asked
at some point why the mall had not resolved that issue, because so much infrastructure available for other things. The explanation they gave me did not convince me and made reference to problems of municipal permits and so forth. Uruguay country
tourism and services. Especially when it rains.
