As there was a massive shortage of cash in the last days of the BsF, it was not much of a problem. Nobody had really big amounts. Those few who had some cash, just spent it. I still have about two...

The 100.000 Bills of the old BsF are still legal tender. From time to time I see people paying their gas with it. They are of no other use, you would need 2.000 of them to pay a cup of coffee.

Yes, it is possible, at least it was in the last days. Now the rate has dropped a little. The latest offer I had today was 110 by transfer. I personally don't go on these offers, because rumour says...

The supply of the new notes is very limited. People are still standing in long lines in front of the ATMs to get 10 or 15 Soberano out of it. There are a quite lot of new old 100.000 BsF notes around...

There will be some notes that Maduro can show to his "Journalists". But that's about it. Most probably the old notes will stay in circulation until three days after eternity.

I wish it would be only word of mouth or some alarming tweets. It's a somebody I actually know in person, he paid bribes to get his mother out of jail. It's an effective business strategy of the...

The Sebin, the Venezuelan Intelligence Service has started to check on bank accounts, they are looking for unusual high amounts of Bolivar that are transferred into bank accounts. For example when a...

From me, you get a simple "No" as an answer. It's not worth going there. I would never tell "Go to Caracas, the girls are cheap, everything is cheap, but complicated". I am one of the few remaining...

Basically there are two ways:

1. You give dollars in cash to someone in Venezuela and they put the money in a Venezuelan Bank account.

2. You transfer the money to an account in the US or...

I had girls that asked for ridiculous amounts, like 50 US $ per hour. I laughed at them and told them off. But even the serious girls will ask for more dollars than the parallel rate. Probably around...

My thoughts:

When you pay peanuts, you get monkeys working for you. I am pretty sure, you will find somebody who fucks you for a bag of Rice. But I doubt that you want to fuck this person. And it...

As of today, it is accessible in Venezuela. At least via Cantv and Intercable. I have not tried it with the mobile connections from Digital and Movistar.

But as usual: This is today, and it might...

I would rather pay a rent for the card, and have the money transferred from my own contacts. On this way you can make sure o get the best rate. And with companies like AirTM ist no problem. Or just...

Just to give you an example, today I exchanged Euro to Bolivar via Transfer. The published Rate by Dolartoday is 850.165,55; AirTM states 858.453,21. I got 950.000. If I looked further, I might have...

To make my Point clear: I did not travel to Caracas, I relocated here. My security measures have to work every day, not just once.

Yes, I might be able to buy some milk with dollars, but there are...

If you found the food bad, you must have been in the wrong places. There are great restaurants of all types in the City. The Steaks are superb, but you can get very good Sushi, Lebanese, excellent...

It grinds your gears? I guess you have to live with it. Because it's the reality how cost expats from the companies and embassies that are left think about life here. But this is not a Caracas thing,...

I just cam back from an average date with an average girl for an average Price.

L. Her Name is Shannel, or Shanell, she doesn't know herself. I got her contact from another girl I meet from time...

Okay, here is my Report. Maybe it's not really a Report, but more of a rundown on the Situation in Caracas.

I am a European expat, living in Caracas since June 2017. I did not come here because I...

The problem is: There are no good neighborhoods in Caracas anymore. Violent crimes happen in all parts of the City. Yes, you are more likely to get robbed in Sabana Grande than in La Castellana, but...
