Caracas

[QUOTE=Quagmire1974;2278036]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.[/QUOTE]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.

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.

[QUOTE=Combo;2279059]Actually there are a lot more in Bogota and Cartagena than in Medellin.[/QUOTE]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.

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

[QUOTE=Hotrod10;2277688]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?[/QUOTE]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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[QUOTE=MaraCucho;2277937]Back in August 2017 the government decriminalized the use of foreign currency for transactions, and thus nowadays it's possible to openly pay (and ask for payment) in dollars. In fact, I know a few shops that give their prices in dollars, since it is much more stable and they don't have to update the prices daily (or even a few times a day) as they do while dealing in Bolivares. So, yeah, it's perfectly possible to pay for everything in dollars. In some places you probably will need to speak with the management, but most will be more than happy to not touch devaluated bolivares. The drawback is that you have to be carefu on exchange rate involved, as you may find the occasional "vivito" that tries to charge you using the official rate instead of the black market rate. Also, bear in mind that 5 star hotels by law have to charge international prices in Dollars to non-venezuelans.[/QUOTE]Quick questions:

1) Is it not true that if you offer US $ to a girl she will up-charge you massively? And I mean factor of >5 massively? I guess it might sound better to her to offer for whatever $100,000 Boliviar than 16 US bucks.

2) Any idea of interpreting prices posted on escort sites? I see things like $1. 800(.000???) or $80.000 for what should be the same service. Huge discrepancy. I think I am not interpreting right. I know how to figure out Colombian prices. It's like either $150,000 where the $ means COP, or $150 where you have to add "000". Nobody ever quotes in actual US $. But in Venezuela BsF I am finding it very difficult to decipher.

Thanks.
