This is my final video in this memorable 9-part series in Venezuela. I am so sad to leave this country - it’s my favorite in all of Latin America and I know that I’ll be back someday soon!
You may have noticed that many of the videos in my Venezuela series have revolved around the unfortunate economical situation (etc) -- but in this video, I wanted to share with you the other side of the story... The high class!
I was shocked to find out that Caracas has an ULTRA WEALTHY inner bubble, with expensive restaurants, swanky bars, high end shopping and exclusive golf clubs. My friend Emmanuel (@DosLocosDeViaje) and I spent my last day in town exploring the luxury life, and it was a blast!
If you’re still reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart for tuning into this series. Thank you for all of your comments, questions and thoughts. It’s a great opportunity to tell stories in a country as misconceived as Venezuela, and it's a true pleasure to open your eyes to real life, real people and real situations happening on these streets. As for now, I’m making a stop home (Arizona) before heading on a road trip around IRAQ Proper - stay tuned for more amazing stories!

It’s great to see a different side of Venezuela. However, it’s also sad that so many people don’t have access to supermarkets like what you showed in this video, nor can they afford most of the items in it. When people are living below the poverty rate, it doesn’t matter if there’s a stocked grocery store. They still can’t afford food.

Every major city in Venezuela has some bubble places but Caracas itself is a bubble compared to other cities, specially the ones that are far away from Caracas (like Maracaibo, which is very deteriorated and you can feel the crisis a lot more but even there you can find alternative realities).

@paradisopaul 3 жыл бұрын
I live in a town which is 100km away from Maracaibo. I used to travel almost every weekend to the city of Maracaibo to hang out with my friends, go to the cinema, buy stuff, run errands, doctor’s visit or whatever, and that was a normal thing until 2015-2016 but right now it’s so hard, expensive and even dangerous (harsh road conditions and carjacking in the road). I finally went after almost a year to Maracaibo with my sisters to run some important errands and we spent $700 in just 3 days (including $175 in 120 liters of gasoline and $240 in a kinda deficient 4 star hotel for $80 per night). Not to mention that crisis in this town is waaaaay worst than Maracaibo. When I finally arrived to Maracaibo I felt what people from Maracaibo feel when they go to Caracas, so you can imagine how worst it is.

Venezuela is one of the most beautiful Countrys in the World and its People are incredible! You have brought back wonderful Memorys, thank you for that.

I spent almost a year in Quito, Ecuador and I experienced the same thing. Neighborhoods with huge houses, European cars that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, luxurious country clubs where rich kids get to ride horses that cost an insane amount of money, Japanese restaurants that charge at least 50-60 dollars per person and so on. All that just a block away - or even less - from where people lived in tin shacks. These countries give a whole new meaning to corruption. Such a shame.

First, you cannot compare Ecuador with Venezuela. Ecuador is still a Capitalist country. Quito also has Middle class people. Many of us, quiteños, belong to the middle class. Corruption in Latin America exists, just like in any other country in the world. We have *everything* in natural resources, but corruption does not let us be a develop economy. Unfortunately, it happens in the entire world - no exceptions! Personally, happy to belong to the Middle Class and proud to be Ecuadorian.

@@ran160 Thank you for speaking the truth. According to the United Nations and World Bank, 85% of Venezuelans live in International Poverty (basically they're truly poor). That figure is around 10-25% in other countries in the region like Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Perú. I've met shoeshiners in Guadalajara, Mexico that take home around $15 a day on a normal one ($300 MXN), and if they work let's say 25 days a month, then that's 7500 MXN ($375 a month). Was he doing super well? No, very working class pay in Mexico. But at least the guy has a shot, almost half the population in Venezuela is literally on the verge of starvation

Like you could go to a fancy restaurant with $5 or less, the situation was already pretty bad by that time but if you had US dollars in your pocket you could live like a king with $200 or less. Right now, due to hyperinflation you need at least $1000 or more to buy the same things that you could buy with a 100-200 USD years ago.

@arthuroantonio 2 жыл бұрын
@@rooksman64 no, it does affect the USD internal purchasing capacity as well. This doesn’t mean that there is inflation expressed in USD, but rather in bolívares. Before the hyperinflation, the devaluation of the domestic currency was higher and more aggressive than inflation. This means that even when the prices expressed in the domestic currency were increasing rapidly, the USD increased more aggressively against the bolívar, which caused the USD purchase capacity to increase against domestic prices. Once hyperinflation started, people started to use the USD as a purchase method, hyperinflation became way more aggressive than the demand of dollars, and prices started to increase in USD as well. So yes, hyperinflation affects the purchase of power of all the instruments of exchange used in society. This doesn’t mean that there is internal inflation of USD caused by the local government, that is impossible since there is no way that the local government can ever print a single dollar, but rather hyperinflation caused by excessive printing of the domestic currency that is making the prices to rise faster and more aggressively than the exchange rate between the VEF and USD.

Seeing that random ad to travel to Indonesia while in Caracas unlocked a memory for me. While I was studying abroad in Japan during college in 2017 I distinctly remember boarding a train in Kyoto and one of the ads in the train car was from the "Pure Michigan" campaign that was ran a few years back for tourism in the state. Definitely caught me off guard and had a laugh at that!

Great work Drew. I lived in Venezuela from 2004-2006. If you ever get a chance to go to Puerto la Cruz there are some amazing places to see. Las Villas is the nicest neighborhood in Venezuela that I saw.

not quite... I was middle normal class in Venezuela yet we lived in a spacious 3 bedroom apartment and (this might be a littler higher) we had access to a "club" which was a facility with pools, restaurants, party rooms, etc. that many go for a weekend getaway inside the city. When I emigrated to North America, I realized that THOSE things (among others) are exclusively available to wealthy people... You see how middle class in USA or Canada live and most live in 1 bedrooms apartments and those clubs are only for very millionaire people, while the rest has to go to community parks (which is totally fine, but just in terms of comparison). Even things that you take for granted in my home country like In-suite Washing/Dryer machine, are considered "luxury" items exclusive for Condos... Of course, on the other hand, it's the trade off you make for living in a more stable country with opportunities of work, etc... Just pointing out that that was something that really struck me when I moved.

@@antonk5414 middle class in the United States don’t live in one bedroom apartments. The mean salary of an American is around $55000, median is lower but regardless, I can assure you many Americans have access to pools and restaurants. My original point was most middle class Americans CERTAINLY have access to all the restaurants Drew found. Likewise, that “nice” sushi restaurant, that had a terrible concept and design, could be found in every mall in the metropolitan area of any major city in the United States.
@antonk5414 3 жыл бұрын
@@g3toutth3way I agree on that restaurant point... It's common to find that in US. Yeah access to pools and restaurants for sure, just not those "private" clubs complexes is what I meant. However, on 55k salary, depends which city you live, how expensive it is and if you're a family and have a higher income between the two. I live in Toronto (which is almost as expensive as NYC) on a 55k salary (converted from CAD) and I can assure you that 60% people live in apartments/condos that cost around 2000$ a month (which is almost half of a paycheck) cause they can't afford more, unless you live with a partner or roomate. And houses are 1 million dollar and up... Of course, if you talk about smaller cities and towns... I guess with that salary or a combined income you could afford much bigger places.
