I frequently travel to Venezuela. Chavez now rules with an iron fist. The political atmosphere in government offices is reminiscent of pre-war Germany. Supervisors live in fear of losing their jobs while party "red shirts" young party member have carte blanche. Gasoline is cheap $.17/gallon but decent hotels ie.

A newspaper article I read while there said that just about every beach tested was polluted and trash along the roads is a real problem. Additionally, we met a couple from Europe who were held up at gun point at the beaches in Caracas -- a spot known for this sort of thing -- and we had everything we owned stolen from our vehicle in downtown Caracas.

Unfortunately, I am reading the October 13, 2007 a little late but for this person that writes the review of their experience in Caracas is very far from the truth and biased I believe against these region since he particularly mentioned South American countries. I don't know what country you are from, but read on....................... First of all, Chavez has never been a General, he's not that smart and although I think he's not good for this country, he was elected democratically. That there ... Read Full Review | Report This
