Performing a factory reset may take some time, so make sure that you plug your device in to a power source before you start. If your phone becomes unresponsive at any point during these steps, you can restart it by holding down the <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Power</span> button for several seconds.</div>

It was created by Uruguayan artist Paez-Vilaró in a kind of mediterranean surrealistic architecture, making the whole place to look like a giant sculpture. He is the father of one of the survivors of the infamous plane crash on the Andes. It comprises an approximately 12 kms (7.5 mi) long stripe of beaches and landforms. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Punta Ballena is around 15kms from Punta del Este.

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Casapueblo is the house of Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró, located in Punta Ballena (Whale Point). It is a homage to the artist's son Carlitos Paez. Casapueblo is now a citadel-sculpture that includes a museum, an art gallery, and the Hotel Casapueblo.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">A few years ago Páez Vilaró added a hotel called Hotel Casapueblo or Club Hotel Casapueblo to the house, following the style of the original construction. It now includes a restaurant named Las Terrazas (The Terraces). It also offers you the recreational activities like horseback rides on the beach or through the woods, golf and tennis practice, aqua sports such as Jet Ski, Water Ski, Banana or Traditional Boat Trips (depends on the season).<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As I discussed earlier, you can rent a car to reach Casa Pueblo or can come by bus. The only problem is bus drops you till Punta Ballena and then you have to walk 2kms to reach CasaPueblo and again these 2kms to come out to reach main road (Punta Ballena) where you can board another bus.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />From Punta Ballena, you can get bus till Montevideo and from Montevideo to Colonia. I reached Colonia by <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_110634782" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">7:30pm</span></span> and I had to catch my ferry by <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_110634783" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">10pm</span></span>. I went to that mini subway (in front of bus stand in Colonia), had an amazing sandwich and beer to chill out and relax to end up my trip of Uruguay. Colonia port is hardly 500meters from there. I gulped the last sip of my beer, clicked last photo of Uruguay, packed my camera in bag and headed toward the port.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It’s a 1 hour journey from Colonia to Buenos Aires but you will reach at the same time you start from Colonia (remember the 1 hour time zone difference </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 10pt;">J</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">). You can also find a duty free shop over the ferry where you can buy something of your interest if you get. All currencies are acceptable there but only in cash. There is no POS machine where you can swipe your card.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Once we had covered all the major spots in Montevideo, we started our journey for Punta del Este.

You can rent a moped (scooter) or car at several places. You can go to the beaches, being a peninsula you have two coastlines, one of them is pretty quiet and calm (called "mansa"), and the other one is windy, with some surf spots (called "brava"). La Barra the Bikini Beach is famous because of the models and famous people that go there.

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Punta del Este has an island nearby, that is called the <b>Isla Gorriti</b>. It is protected because of its nature so there are no great buildings or anything like that. You can take a 20 minute ferry at the port that will drop you off at the island where you can enjoy the fun atmosphere, paradisaical beach, and good food at the restaurant. It is also possible to take private yachts, speedboats, or sailboats to the island and anchor by the shore. Renting a boat is nice in good weather. Isla de Lobos is another island that is also protected because of its sea lion population.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It is useful to know that if you choose to ride a bus, upon boarding you will pay either the driver or the assistant who sits on the right-hand side of the bus (door-side) a few seats from the entrance. There is a small device that will dispense your receipt, make sure you hold on to it for the duration of your ride as sometimes company supervisors board buses checking for these receipts (making sure no one is riding unauthorized). If you are unsure where to get off you can always ask the driver or assistant to let you know when your stop is coming up and they'll be happy to oblige. Just try to remain visible so they can tell you (though if the bus gets full and you've moved to the back they'll yell out the street name). It is also important to note that you do not need to have the exact fare as the driver or the assistant carry change.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

It was around 5kms (somewhere in downtown) from the bus terminal and cost me 170UYU pesos. Frankly speaking, I didn't like that hostel at all. That was the worst hostel I have stayed till date. The rooms were not in good condition and the location (downtown) added a negative point into it. The streets around were hostel were totally empty and scary in the night.</span><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As I mentioned in my earlier blog, I did a lot of research on the place before I visited.

For years Colonia was a smuggling port, evading the strict trade measures imposed in the Americas by the Spanish. Due to this situation, the city changed hands many times between the Portuguese and the Spanish. Even Brazil controlled it for a short while, until the new country of Uruguay declared independence in 1825.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">There are a 3 famous boat connections from Buenos Aires, Argentina throughout the day and these are - Buquebus, ColoniaExpress and Seacat.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

Buquebus runs 2 types of service, one faster and more expensive which takes around 1 hour (BsAs to COL), slower is cheaper and takes around 3 hours (BsAs to COL). I would recommend slow cruise only in case you have plenty of time. But the only problem I found was that it was bit costlier. It was costing me around 700ARS for round trip Buenos Aires to Colonia in Oct 2013 (for fast cruise).

The price was quite reasonable and reviews I read were also good. It costed me around 470ARS for round trip Buenos Aires to Colonia in Oct 2013. I didn’t bother about seats and comfortabality that much as it was just 1 hour journey. My overall experience was quite good and I will give 4 starts out of 5 (1 star less as they don’t allow to go out, at the deck – to capture Titanic style pose </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 10pt;">J</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> ).

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Once you arrive into Colonia del Sacramento, a calm environment, cobblestone streets, cafés and historical sites will greet you. You can visit the historical sites of Colonia in two hours by foot. Either take a walking tour with a local guide or walk around on your own with a map.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I would recommend to visit <b><u>tourism office</u></b> first, which right in front of the port of Colonia when you come out (near to bus stand). They provide you all the information you need and also map (which covers every inch and place). This service is free of cost and people are of very welcoming nature. Then you can make your plan according to time you wanna spend in Colonia.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You can hire transport as well if you want. There are plenty of services available outside the port. Where you can rent a car, motor or bicycle for whole day for hourly based. One of the very famous are Thrifty. I have attached the photo for reference. They charge you around 35USD for 1 day (rates can vary as per season). You will require your driving license and a credit card to hire.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The main attraction of Colonia is its historic center.</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Eight small museums can be visited with only one cheap entrance ticket which must be purchased in the Museo Municipal (50 Argentinian Pesos). Seven of these museums are in the town center itself but it must be said that although not costly the museums have little to recommend themselves - most only consist of one or two rooms of very uninspiring exhibits.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

The lighthouse is located between Plaza Mayor and Calle de San Pedro and was built on the foundations of the destroyed Francisco Javier Convent. The 88.5 feet structure though not tall compared to many lighthouses of the world, but offers a view of Colonia del Sacramento, the Rio de la Plata and the skyline of Buenos Aires. From here you can get a 360 degree unobstructed view of the whole area surrounding Colonia del Sacramento. The best time to visit this place is right before sunset.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

It is like the subway where you can customize your sandwich with whatever you want. They have a wide variety of items like chicken/ham/beef, tomato/sweetcorn/capsicum/<wbr></wbr>onion, sausages etc etc…<u></u></span></div>

Almost all currency are welcome at official rate except ARS. For instance, when I visited (Nov 2013), official rate was 3.6UYU/ARS but we got deal as 1.9UYU/ARS. But we still thought it as a good deal as ARS is not acceptable in many counties. Most of the people (restaurants) accept ARS too but exchange rate can vary. But still I would recommend you to get some money convert to UYU (on port or bus stand).<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><b><u>Language </u></b>: Spanish is the official language of Uruguay but I could find few people who speaks English there. I won’t say many but still ratio was better than in Argentina. My hand is bit tight in Spanish but 1 year experience in Argentina taught me well to handle such type of conditions. Still I would recommend to carry a pocket or mobile dictionary of Spanish if you don’t speak Spanish.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I needed a vacation and was thinking for the place to rejoice. I asked my question to Google baba and He suggested me plenty of places near to Buenos Aires (where I am living currently) like Tigre, Salta, Jujuy, Mar del Plata, Puerto Madryn, El Calafate, Uruguay…etc etc. I had already visited few places out of these and so next challenge was to sort the place on climatic conditions. Which places is best option to visit for now. I prepared a chart for my sorted options and found Uruguay the best option. But the only problem was to wait for at least 15 days in this case because of Visa processing.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I visited Uruguay embassy in Buenos Aires (Location – Las Heras 1907) to get my Visa. Mostly people speak Spanish here but for my good, the person knew English too. It took hardly half an hour to submit my Visa application. The embassy person told me that they will call me once my application gets approve which takes 2 weeks in general. And around 2 weeks later, I got a call and they asked me to come to embassy to get the VISA. You need to go with your passport and one photograph. Just as an additional information, Visa is free (for 60-90 days) for Indian passport holders.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It’s my habit to read and search about place I am going to visit. And this time I had plenty of time for research. During those 2 weeks of Visa processing I could do nothing except the planning. I prepared small notes on the famous places which I will have to visit. I visited Hostelling International office here in Florida street for more information about Colonia and they helped me a lot to plan my trip. I also booked my hostels through them in Uruguay.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

And when I woke up at noon on the Saturday, I had a painful headache. I had absolutely no memory of what all I had done after 10pm of Friday. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It was because of a girl, as is in most of the cases for a boy. And I can’t name her as my EX, even. The relationship was quite complicated.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Back to the that day, I never thought I would wake up with a blackout. I cursed myself for all the love that I nourished for her. I finally got up from my bed and rushed to the washroom, and drenched my face with cold water, assuming it will have a soothing affect. Even that couldn’t make me relax and was of no help . I searched for some disprin in my medicine bag. With a heavy struggle for 5 mins I found 2 tablets and mixed both of them in water and gulped in fraction. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">After 5 mins, I was back to normal. A strong coffee is always the best thing to start off a day even if it’s an afternoon that the day starts at. I found my way to the kitchen. Back to the bed and sipping the hot coffee, I tried remembering about the previous night. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Two things I was sure of – one that I had gulped down a whole bottle of rum and the second that I remembered nothing after that. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">My habit generally is to share the deep rotten thoughts with someone after a drink. But last night there was no one with whom I would have shared all those thoughts boggling in my mind.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I could not conclude what all crap I had done the previous night.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The phone, I searched for the phone all around to check if I made any calls. It was there on one corner of the table at the verge of falling down. I picked it up carefully and was surprised to find it switched off. I thought it could be because of low battery but when I switched it on it had 70% of remaining battery, which was even more surprising for me.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I checked for dialed list in case I made any call to someone. But there was no call in dial or receive list after 7:30pm. The last call was to MOM just to make sure she doesn’t call back in the night. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12.0pt;">J</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I was running out of options to know what had happened in the last 16 hours. Inspired by the <i>Sherlock Holmes</i>, I tried looking for some clue at the crime scene, my room. But ended up with nothing. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Finally I decided to give up as my abdominal muscles were tired up with roughness of alcohol and begged me for some food. I was not in position to cook something by myself so found it better to order from somewhere. It generally takes 20-30 minutes for them to deliver, so I had my bath instead of waiting. After I received my order, finally I had a belly full of brunch.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">To pass the time , I thought of watching some movie. My lappy was in the hibernate mode and as I entered my password, a song started playing from between as per playlist played last night. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I noticed there was also one untitled word document . And the first 2 words of that document attracted my attention and I had no choice but to read on. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><br />

Just rock your room with Rammstein, Porcupine, Metallica, Pink Floyd’s music.</span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><br />

Fuck your love for that bitch. She doesn’t even think about you. She doesn’t care for you. Did she fucking care to show any concern to you even for once after break up? Instead she found puppet for herself so easily. Probably she will be sharing her bed with that bastard right now when you are thinking about her and crying like a 2 month old child cries for milk. </span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She called you that day, cried for 2 secs and you were like what, sorry for her.

can speak so much about her than herself. Reading faces was an art people tried to master <br />
and so is the reading of nature by DP. <br />
IF you are a GUY – then you will agree with me that we spend half the time on FB just <br />
browsing some random girl’s profile. After storming a 100 odd profiles we would have <br />
zeroed down to a few to send a request.<br />
Now the Big Question </span></div><ul style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">On what basis they filter the profiles?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">What exactly they look into just profile?</span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And here I was at the outset of my research – visited and created few secret groups…in <br />
short I was spying the whole FB for critical information on what makes a Female profile <br />
vulnerable for FRIEND REQUEST !!!</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><ul style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: small;"> The profile with a very beautiful and catchy girl’s picture as DP with more than 1200 friends, it’s a fake profile for sure…so just enjoy these pictures and move on to next tab.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"> The profile with some celebrity as DP with normal range of friends say (150-250), should be a genuine profile where girl is of shy or silent character. Or may not be good looking…better close the tab.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"> The profile with puffed cheek child or Barbie doll as DP, she is in her teenage and still needs time to grow up…better move on to next tab.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">The profile with genuine child’s picture as DP, she is married and it’s her child. No need to waste your time…switch to another tab.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">The profile picture as some guy standing/sitting by her side with hands over her shoulder or waist, better close this tab…she is already booked.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">The profile having more than 2 people as DP (usually count as 3) has two sub-categories</span></li>
</ul><ol style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;"><ol><li><span style="font-size: small;">All the persons in DP are girls, she is party loving but might be ugliest one among all…look for other pictures if she has shared…rest decision is in your hand, if you are ready to take risk…go ahead and send request.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">There is one guy and 2 girls or something like this in DP; she is friendly and party loving…browse her profile’s wall and can think about this girl.</span></li>
</ol></ol><ul style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">The profile with DP taken from some side, normally of just her face, she is probably fat and trying to cover this by showing only her face…try to find about her from other information if shared.</span></li>
</ul><div><ul style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-size: small;"> The profile with DP from some angle (probably whole body); she is not as good looking as she is looking in that photo and trying to cover using some angle.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">The profile with DP having some color affects (usually B&W or saturation); she may have some dark circles, pimples or scars on face and trying to cover under those effects.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">The profile picture taken from a far away having alone girl, definitely a genuine profile, just zoom out and try to figure out more from other given information if sharable.</span></li>
