montevideo is the second safest capital (after Tokyo), and within the 30 safest cities the world over. this doesn't seem to stop some of the population from living in a permanent state of fear. locksmiths abound. security guards are rampant. houses and cars are alarmed. alarms go off all the time.
of an evening you can hear the wind rustling the leaves of the plain trees, the hum of the sleepy traffic, the metallic bang as the recycling guys let the lid to the dumpster fall shut, and the chirping of car alarms startled into life by the mearest commotion nearby...
