Caracas

[BKKguru]

Political situations like this have a habit of deteriorating into fighting at lightning speed. It is not inconceivable that a tourist could be the target of an extra judicial killing; even more likely, the opposition may yet resort to serious violence. That being said, I would love to be in Caracas at this point consorting with the chicas. But, as an American, I could not enter Caracas without illegally entering the country. It is a bit difficult to get a visa right now.

Its hard to see how anyone could be worse than Chavas was, but Maduro has proven himself up to the task. Americans should take heed. Getting rid of Trump will bring us Mike Pence.

Venezuela has reached a climax. You will see a change in the next 90 days or less.

However, it is going to be a LONG road to recovery for Venezuela.
Also, 50% of the white collar (i.e. college graduates) Venezuelans will NOT return. This is my personal opinion.

1000's of people per day travel from the airport to Caracas without issue. It doesn't take luck. Despite what you may read and see on the news, business is being conducted in Venezuela. Trade, commerce, tourism happens everyday without incident. Clearly there are problems. Protests, food shortages for the poor, massive inflation, political issues to name a few but, far from a war zone. Protests and crime are confined to certain areas. You will not be kidnapped, robbed or shot traveling around Venezuela if you use basic common sense.

So many differing opinions and comments from even boots on the ground people, like your experiences, about current conditions in the country. We have the Richard Branson concert in Cucuta this weekend then I just saw Roger Waters (ie Pink Floyd) today on youtube bashing the concert, we have the Colombian and US at the borders ready to either invade or bring in aid or whatever, to say the least it will be very interesting how this thing plays out.

Just my observation.

You would be nuts to go anywhere in Venezuela now.

They are on the verge of Civil War and the crime rate is off the charts.

Just getting out of the airport and to central Caracas will take a lot of luck.

I have been all over the world but I have not been to Venezuela. OK, lets say I go to Carasus. I stay at a nice hotel. For the things I buy can I pay with dollars (which I would prefer) or is itm necessary to have my dollars conversated to Bolivar? Can I pay for pussy in dollars?

Take a look at the map, and Cucuta (Norte de Santander) shows the highest influx.

Interesting demographics and migration of the venies.

Actually there are a lot more in Bogota and Cartagena than in Medellin.

True that about many more venies in Cart and BGT than in Medellin.

As others report the venies are not into the FB thing, not in any numbers right now anyway.

The venies in Medellin are sweet BUT after spending too much time in the bars and on the streets in centro I have found that most of them, not all mind you, but the majority are simply into the drink bars and are satisfied with the couple dozen of COP that the bars pay them each night to sit and drink with bar patrons, uhhhhhhh there are a few that IO would love to bang, real sweethearts.

Just my 2 cents.

I have a friend (an American expat) who lives full time in Medellin. He has told me multiple times recently that the city is flooded with young girls from Venezuela who are working in the casas or offering their services through Facebook. It doesn't make sense to visit highly unstable Venezuela for mongering when you can visit stable Colombia and get the same pussy.

If democracy wins maybe Venezuela will have a stable currency and a somewhat normal situation, or like east Germany after the Berlin- wall fell, like a "Venezuelan summer" for some time. Maybe not super expensive anymore, but nor dangerous, more like Colombia / Medellin.

There are now very much Venezuelan girls on dating sites, but those who answer simply answer to try to get some cash from you, like (pestering) prepagos from Colombia or stressful Dominicans. But those who can go to Venezuela must do it when Maduro has fallen. It's like a paradise, just like Medellin.

I'm in Medellin right now and I know zero Venezuelans on FB at the moment. Possibly FB isn't working its magic yet on my contact list. From my experience Venezuelan girls are very sweet and highly competitive in terms of attitude and looks with the native Medellin girls. I've went to Centro a couple times and while my sample size is very small right now, I've only met with Colombianas thus far.

Yeah. We Venezuelans are in the middle of a big push to remove Maduro from power, probably the most legit and well planned so far. Yesterday Maduro announced that he was breaking diplomatic relationships with the USA and that the embassy must vacate the premises in 72 hours, so the next days should be interesting.
