A Strange Uruguayan Encounter and a Police Detainment Arrived by Boat...

I had to go through Uruguay to get from Argentina to Brazil... was the only way by boat? So I bought a ticket and was waiting for the boat when a woman next to me started talking to me, saying she'd never seen a Korean before... She said she was from Uruguay, had been traveling in Mexico for 2 years, and was returning home... When I told her I was also going to Uruguay... she said, 'Then do you want to come to my house?' When had she ever seen me...? Of course, without thinking anything of it, I said 'Sure~' and followed her to a small rural village in Uruguay... After a humble welcome and watching her smoke a cigarette, I went out to wander around the pretty village alone, and while taking pictures of the house, police cars approached from afar... They asked where I was from, and I said Korea... They asked why I was taking pictures, and I said because it was pretty... I mentioned I was staying at a friend's house for a bit, but the police said they couldn't believe me and wanted to check it out... So I ended up riding in the police car to my friend's house, where my friend explained I wasn't a bad person... Because it was such a rural area, the Uruguayan residents were wary of foreigners, seeing one for the first time... The adventure concluded the next day with drinking mate and sightseeing on a deserted sandy beach.
