What will you know if you go to Venezuela?

My cousin brought beautiful women from Venezuela. The girls there all say they are beauties and like to marry foreigners.

Afterwards, my cousins ??and I went to Venezuela. I want to go back with a beauty like my cousin. After I went there, I found that Venezuela was in a mess. Just like Beauty Cloud, it can’t even provide basic daily necessities.

To buy a bag of rice in Venezuela, you have to carry a sack, but you can fill the jar with 5 cents. They were poor and had only money. However, their money is dwindling every minute. To save energy, you must go to bed early. You may need to draw lots to buy something.

Life in Venezuela. Most of Venezuela's population is extremely poor, and half of the country's population still has abdominal problems. In 2019, the per capita minimum monthly salary is US$2, equivalent to approximately RMB 13. I just use the money to buy coke.

2. People from a country I have never seen are as crazy as Venezuelans. I'm getting ready to buy daily necessities. I queue up in front of the supermarket early every morning.

Venezuela’s domestic water and electricity are not guaranteed. Get up early every day to drink water and line up at the street corner to get water. Electricity is only available during specified hours each day.

Due to a temporary power shortage, in order to save energy, the government decided that employees in some departments would work two days a week, Monday and Tuesday, and rest for the remaining five days.

The worst part is that food and medicine are also very scarce. Can I buy paper towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo and other daily necessities?

3. Contrary to the domestic situation, Venezuela has more luxury goods such as champagne and perfume than popular goods, but they do not want to buy luxury goods. I want to put it on the shelf alone and buy cooking oil, flour, corn flour, toothpaste, soap and other daily necessities.

4. "Scarce value" is due to shortages of food, medicine and daily necessities and dependence on imports. These things are expensive. A carton of eggs can cost more than $15. You probably can't buy it.

But gas is cheap there. It costs less than a nickel to refill. The price of a can of Coke is equivalent to 42 tanks of gasoline. Because the oil resources there are very rich.

Venezuela is fighting for food every day. So far, some regions are considering "smart" approaches.

6. There are many homeless people on the streets of Venezuela. They are always looking for food near garbage dumps. As inflation intensifies, more and more ordinary people join the ranks of homeless people and make a living by picking up garbage.

7. Inflation in Venezuela is very serious. Supermarket products are all priced in the millions, so a 10,000-yuan ticket is considered a small denomination. One million large tickets have begun to circulate, and one million bolivars is equivalent to more than 3 yuan. If you exchanged 10,000 yen in "change" for a bag of rice, you would probably be carrying a sack of banknotes.

8. Watching children playing with a bundle of banknotes in Venezuela. Please don't be surprised. I'm afraid banknotes are not as expensive as paper. The value of banknotes in people's hands is decreasing every minute.

Venezuela commissioned a company to print billions of bolivars, but in the end Venezuela did not pay enough dollars.

9. It is best not to go out alone in Venezuela. Especially at night, the security situation is very bad. Please do not take valuables on the streets. No backpacks please.

10. Venezuela’s urban infrastructure is very imperfect or has been in disrepair for a long time. Just imagine where the basic necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation are not solved. Are you going to manage these public facilities? So you can see the water pipes on the street are leaking, the water is flowing smoothly, many traffic lights are out, and the street lights are on during the day. People looked at this and pretended not to see it.

11. Although the economic situation is getting worse, the local people are generally lazy. They do not want to contribute to changing the status quo, even though they are waiting to receive relief food. Probably because "from economy to luxury, from luxury to economy". Venezuelans were once very wealthy.

12. There are many Chinese in Venezuela, about 300,000. As Venezuela's economy deteriorates, more Chinese are returning home.

13. Due to the chaos in domestic life, some Venezuelans are flocking overseas, hoping to save their families by obtaining foreign currency.

14. Venezuela In the world of "Dual World of Ice and Fire", poor people cannot calm down even if they eat. Rich people not only have food and clothing, but also night parties. They held parties where they tasted wine, steak, lobster and cake, and played golf.

15. Venezuelans hate peacocks the most. No peacock pattern is visible there either. Because I think peacock is not an auspicious thing. On top of that, they hate "13" and "Friday."

They are passionate about fashion, but the lack of food and clothing in Venezuela will not affect their pursuit of beauty. The girls here are passionate about dressing up. There is a competition every September in Venezuela.

In Venezuela, people of mixed Indian and European descent account for 58% of the total population. Maybe it's because of blood relationship, especially because there are so many beautiful women. Miss Venezuela has had a very beautiful style in international beauty pageants in recent years. The daughter of Venezuela has won 60 international competitions. The most famous ones are the fifth Miss World, the sixth Miss International, the fifth Miss Universe and other honorary titles.

In Venezuela, parents want daughters. Let parents and children participate in various training classes to exercise their physical shape and temperament. I hope that one day I can change my destiny in a beauty pageant and improve my family's life.

However, not all girls are so good. There are still only a few people who choose beautiful women to change their destiny. Many daughters of Venezuela have chosen other ways. I want to get married. Due to poverty and unable to afford the high transportation costs, most of them married to Venezuela's neighboring country, Peru. According to statistics, Peru is the country with the most beautiful Venezuelans.

The tallest slum is in Caracas, Venezuela. It has the highest slum in the world. This is an abandoned 45-story skyscraper. People used to call it the "Tower of David".

This building was supposed to be a financial center. Shortly after its completion in 1990, it encountered a financial crisis and the project had to be halted. Slowly, more and more poor people lived there. At present, there are about 700 permanent households and a population of more than 3,000 people. There is a mixture of good and bad, and it has become a gathering place for many criminals.

You can’t imagine Venezuela’s “past life” and “present life”. Venezuela, which is in such chaos, was rated as "the happiest country in the world" many times before 2013. At that time, Venezuelan people had no worries about food and clothing.

Everyone enjoyed free education and medical care, and they could receive abundant living supplies every month after retirement. The earth-shaking changes in people's lives are caused by oil.

According to statistics, Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves, up to 300 billion barrels, 30 billion barrels more than Saudi Arabia.

With so much oil, Venezuela is indeed as rich as Saudi Arabia. Venezuela was once one of the high-income countries, with per capita GDP of 100 million US dollars in 2014.

However, the good times did not last long. Venezuela began to decline in 2015. The reasons are as follows:

The oil there has high viscosity and is distributed in deep layers, making it difficult and costly to extract. Venezuela produces about 2 million barrels of oil per day, and Saudi Arabia can produce up to 10 million barrels. It costs about $23 to extract a barrel of oil in Venezuela and only about $10 in Saudi Arabia.

Venezuela is located in South America, and its largest customer is actually a large country. As Venezuela's relationship with the giant country deteriorates, it is difficult for the oil it produces to enter the country's market. Venezuela has to sell oil to other countries, such as East Asian countries, but because the distance is too long, transportation costs increase and profits are greatly reduced.

Thirdly, international oil prices fell sharply in 2015, which made Venezuela, whose economy is highly dependent on oil exports, struggling and its economy almost collapsed. Venezuela has become one of the most inflationary countries in the world.

In 2020, Venezuela’s inflation rate reached 488,000% in September and 830,000% in October. Inflation has almost doubled in one month, meaning that something that cost 1 yuan last October is now worth 8,300 yuan.

When you buy a pair of shoes in Venezuela, you may need to make multiple transactions while swiping your card because some older card machines can't cover the inflated prices on the screen.

It can only be said that Venezuela’s economic structure is too simple, with the economy relying solely on oil exports and weak industrial and agricultural development. Once oil prices fall, domestic production capacity is limited, commodity supply will be in short supply, and the price of imported goods will be unaffordable for the public.

Improvement Measures In recent years, the Venezuelan government has also made continuous efforts to improve people's lives. For example, food boxes are distributed to the people, and food and housing subsidies are distributed to the people at the bottom.

Venezuela may still have some way to go before it can work its way out of the quagmire. I hope it can find industries other than oil resources and find a path that is truly suitable for its own development as soon as possible.

Conclusion Venezuela is a very chaotic country. It's hard to live there, but there are many beautiful women there who are warm and generous. Venezuela is a typical country with more women and fewer men. On the contrary, more than 30 million men in China are at risk of being single. If single men have the opportunity, they can go and have a look. If you can tolerate the life there, you'd better bring some daily necessities and medicines before going.
