NON VERBAL COMMUNICATION
Uruguayans stand very close when conversing, both socially and in business.
People touch shoulders and hold arms while they talk to each other.
Never sit on or put your feet up on a ledge, desk or table.
The “ch-ch” sound is used to get someone's attention or to get a bus to stop.
The North American “O.K.” sign is extremely rude.
You may see people brush the backs of their hands under their chins to signal “I don't know.”

CUISINE
Torta de jamon y queso: a pie baked with layers of ham and melted cheese
Pancho: the typically Uruguayan hot dog: a bun called "pan de Viena" filled with a "Frankfurter" with mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise or "salsa golf" on top.
Gnocchi (known as "ñoquis") is traditionally eaten on the 29th day of each month. This was the day before payday, when people were at their poorest. Gnocchi made a cheap and hearty meal. On these occasions, some people leave a coin or a banknote under the plate to attract prosperity.
