Comparing apples to coconuts

Mahalo Chicos,

Fairly recently I stopped in for my once a month feet check up appointment, I love my high heels!” Anyway, in the States a price for a basic check-up with very little “work done” can be anywhere in the price range of $45.00 and up per hour.

Here (Montevideo, Uruguay)  I pay a basic fee of 350 Uruguayan Pesos ($1.00=21.00 pesos) which is about $16.66. A steal! What does one get with for their money? Firstly,  the doctor checks your feet to ensure its healthy. Secondly, you get a thorough cleaning and removing of any unwanted feet yuckiness. All the necessary medicines, creams, and high heel aids to last another month or so.

I hate comparing apples to coconuts because the “way of living” in the States is completely different from Uruguay. But I’d have to say the level and quality of service for a foot appointment is fairly similar up to even.

Ciao,

Odeliza Jacoba
