Both countries, I have no problem with the attitude at all.

Thing is why i still like DR women more....plain and simple...Their attitude!
Most Venezulanas seem to have something like "soy la Reina...y quero que tratarme como eso" (=I am the Queen and i want to be treated like one)and always think they are the last coca cola in the desert....wereas there is always a FULL minibar 50 meters further away!!!!
Nothing turns me off more then a pretty woman with a spoild rotten attitude....

It is a shame that this dictator of theirs is pushing these people out of Venezuela ... but ... really no worries about all the hot chicas leaving Venezuela.
Most everyone may want to leave for the US but obviously the vast majority will not be able to.
There will be plenty of light skin, dark skin and in between to be met n Venezuela ... plenty! Probably more desperate nowfor your gringo $$.
Have to say also, the morenas from Venezuela are far more beautiful than those in the DR ... IMHO ... I lovem'!!
Suerte!

VZ turning in a second Cuba
I agree completely./..venzuela is turning in somekind of Cuba rapidly.
Sooner or later it is inevitable to invade and put things back to order before the Narcos take over and extend Colombia to the East!
Somebody has to stop mister Chavez!! They didn't stop Hitler/Stalin back in the 1930's...and we all knew what happend!!

Say Hasta la vista to all those bonitas
For all you VZ lovers out there. Looks like people are running out of the country. That includes the hotties you see all over. Good news is many are going to the US so you will have all the hotties in your back yard.

Here is the story
As Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez further tightens control of the South American country's economy, wealthy Venezuelans who once thought they could live with his socialist edicts are turning to their backup plan — flight to the United States, particularly Florida.
Venezuelans have long gobbled up condos and pre-construction deals in Florida as investments, but the latest buyers want homes where they can live and business properties that will help them earn a green card.
"First the people who come are the businessmen in the highest circles, then the losing politicians, then the military and then the professionals," said Miami-based immigration attorney Oscar Levin. "You're beginning to see the (Venezuelan) professionals."
This latest and largest potential group of emigrants say they fear the effect Chavez's socialist policies will have on the economy and on proposed educational reforms that could mirror the ideologically imbued education of Chavez ally and mentor, Cuba's
Fidel Castro.
"There is so much insecurity, political insecurity, economic insecurity," said Venezuelan Miguel Medina, a business executive who moved to the Miami in August. "You don't know if a contract you signed today will be honored by the government in the future....This was definitely my plan B, but it was time to do the plan B."
Between 2000 — a year after Chavez took office — and 2005, the number of Venezuelans living in the U.S. doubled to about 160,000, according to the latest U.S. Census numbers. Nearly half live in Florida.
But those numbers are deceptive.
In 2005, 10,645 Venezuelans received their green cards allowing them to live in the United States, almost doubling the 6,222 who received them in 2004, according to the latest Department of
Homeland Security statistics. And another 400,000 Venezuelans came to the United States in 2005 on business and tourism visas. It is unclear how many stayed.
Colombia, with nearly twice Venezuela's roughly 27 million residents, sent the same number that year.
Anecdotal evidence suggests even more are seeking to come here since Chavez's recent nationalization of Venezuela's largest telecommunications company and the electricity sector. The Venezuelan Congress also recently gave him special powers to decree laws for 18 months, and Chavez is threatening to expropriate supermarkets, stores and other businesses caught hoarding food or speculating on prices.
Medina said six family members visited him in the last two months seeking ways to relocate to the U.S. Unlike previous cycles, those seeking to leave and bring their money to the U.S. now are coming from around Venezuela, not just from Caracas, said Medina, an account executive for the credit group ExpoCredit.
Meanwhile Ralph Gomez, who heads the Miami area Tower Investments group and has long specialized in real estate for South American clients, said he's received more than two dozen calls since the year began from people interested in coming to the U.S. Other agents report a similar spike.
Upper-class Venezuelans and their money flowed out of the country after Chavez was elected in 1998 and again when he quashed an unsuccessful coup against his government in 2002, but many professionals still hoped the climate would remain friendly to business. Then came the latest nationalizations. Chavez still pledges to maintain a business-friendly climate, and analysts say the government has paid fair market prices to nationalize the electric and phone companies.
Yet, with 17 percent inflation pushing the Bolivar to more than 4,000 per dollar on the black market, compared to the official rate of 2,150 Bolivars per dollar, many Venezuelans are looking to move their businesses to the U.S. or to set up a new one here.
Those who can afford it often opt for business visas that require a minimum of a $500,000 investment in a company that creates jobs in an underdeveloped area in the U.S.
About 33,000 Venezuelans received some kind of work visa to come to the U.S. in 2005 — nearly a quarter of all such visas for South Americans — compared to about 17,000 in 1999.
Those who come are received with open arms in Miami, where their money is welcome and the Cuban exile community views Chavez as the next Fidel Castro. As of 2004, Venezuelans tied with Germans and Canadians as the second biggest group of foreigners purchasing homes in Florida, according to the National Association of Realtors. Only the British bought more Florida homes.
But moving to the U.S., even for the wealthy, isn't simple. Medina moved his family to the Miami three years ago, but it took him until last summer to tie up financial ends, obtain a visa and a job in Florida.
"I would travel back and forth when I could," he said. "It was hard, but I know I am among the lucky ones."
And while Venezuelan emigrants cite the political and economic instability of the country as their main reasons for leaving, many also talk of rampant and random violence.
Marbelia Font, 47, and her husband landed in Miami in September from Caracas to close on a newly built investment property. They thought their two daughters would enjoy the brief vacation.
But when two friends were fatally shot back home in Venezuela, Marbelia and her 13- and 8-year-old daughters stayed. Her husband returned to Venezuela, hoping to earn a visa by moving his manufacturing and construction business to the U.S. Font said he has struggled to obtain necessary legal documents from the Chavez government.
She now lives in the half-furnished home they'd planned to rent in Doral, just west of Miami. It is decorated only with a picture of her husband and the girls. She and her daughters struggle with loneliness, and she is unable to work as she waits for the family's visas to come through.
"It is so hard because the girls were very close to their father, and now they only see him once every three months," she said.

I concur Master Yoda . . .
I can understand peoples reluctance to travel there, after all foreign investment is leaving the country as fast as possible due to Chavez, and his frequent rhetoric against America is getting old, Fast. Many Cubans I talk to can not understand how people can support him they see him as Castro Jr. Originally Posted by Master Yoda

1 USD = 2,147.30 VEB
Let's compare to the Argentine Peso
100.00 ARS Argentina Pesos = 32.1932 USD United States Dollars
1 USD = 3.10625 ARS

I was in CCS and paid about $65 US for pretty good service in my hotel room at Paseo Las Mercedes. Caled about 20 numbers ( for 2 hours) before I got an answer. Saw a lot of other great looking babes going up the elevator. Guy on a motorcycle pulled onto the sidewalk and stopped right where I was standing. By the time he got the bike stopped , I was across the street. Never felt safe at all in this country. But call in service at the hotel is good and reasonable. No sense in going back to this country when other places are just as good and less dangerous.

They say that a picture says 1,000 words.....so here's 4,000 words on Caracas from my 5mpix camera.
The Autopista (expressway) thru the northwest section of the city and the Las Mercedes section, with its high-rise buildings and malls..........

02-02-07 19:39 #119Yes, go. Use common sense precautions, and fear NO PLACE. That has been my attitude for 5 straight years now, and its served me well. Originally Posted by Mr Enternational

Common sense stuff and then relax and enjoy! Venezuelanas are beautiful, gfe and sexy. You eyes will have a heart attack as you walk the streets and malls of CCS!
Caracas has two distinct personalities. It is a city where the filthy rich and desperately poor are squeezed into a burgeoning town of 4 million. The Las Mercedes section of the city is safe (but expensive) has great restaurants and high-end malls that you probably won't be able to afford. (lol).....but....
..the northwest sprawling slums are some of the worst on the planet this side of São Paulo in Brazil.
As I've said many times on this board the safety concern for us mongers is primarilly related to street punks and crimes of opportunity. It is for this reason that I probably felt less safe in places like Guatemala and Honduras than I ever did in Colombia. Venezuela can be tense at times.

Should I Go?
There are two women who I met online and have been talking to for quite some time who have invited me to come stay with them for a few days in Venezuela. One is 38 years old, in law school, no kids and lives in Caracas. The other is 34 years old, a school teacher, 4 year old daughter and lives on Margarita Island.
I had a friend who went to Valencia last month to meet a girl from the internet. He didn't mention any problems and had many photos of fun times with her and her family. He does not speak Spanish although he said that she spoke English.
I have never had any problems in Bogota or Cali or any other city on earth that I heard was supposed to be so dangerous. But I guess there is a first time for everything. What are the chances of my first time being in Venezuela?

Your right ford,
I have been holding back off travelling of Venezuela because I hear how bad the attitude of the women is. I mean out of the 13 people I have all but one guy said the same thing.
But most importantly VZ is very dangerous and could get worse at any moment. The woman that now teaches me spanish is from Venezuela and as soon as she sees the words "Estados Unidos" or even if there is mention the US in the textbook I get a 30 min lecture of how the US is stealing from Latin America and, how rich the country is and how the US is enslaving her people. Sometimes I have to stop her so I can get on with the f**king lesson.
Anyways this is a mongering board so I will avoid politics. Just though I'd let my fellow mongers know.
May the force be with you

Master Yoda - Venezuela IS a dictatorship. Has been for several years. It is a democracy in name only.
Johan - IMO you are %100 correct. Colombia is considerably safer than Venezuela is now - in terms of street crime including express secuestros and such. I felt much safer in Bogata, Medellin than I did in Caracas.

Apparently Chavez now has full use of power over Venezuela. I smell a dictatorship coming don't you?
