I've been to about ten days in Venezuela, and my impressions have been so varied that I do not know where to begin to describe them. I think that having been so long outside of Venezuela allows me to see our customs alien to the surprise of foreign eyes, and simultaneously with the familiarity of native lands. So, rather than an extended post, I prefer to brief comments on what I've seen in these tropical lands.
- girls Bailen the silicone / because they are two silicone. This verse of the song "Silicon Valley" of the Venezuelan group Fauna Crepuscular indicates some of the things that are obvious when walking through the streets of Venezuela: the popularity of silicone boobs. Are everywhere. The worst, or most interesting, is that even the mannequins in the shops along this trend appear to outputs of the imagination of an illustrator of erotic comics. Santeria
- fashion. In recent years the fashion Santeria is strongly in these lands, which has brought a lot of people have joined the ranks of this "cult? o religion? and has made the market react accordingly: in stores (at least in Maracay, where is my wife) are observed windows with mannequins dressed all in white people thinking that begins in the secrets of the Yoruba cult. Trend reflected in the clothes sold by the peddlers of the center, where white is king.
- infernal traffic. I did not know to what extent the traffic both in Caracas and Maracay had become so hellish to this day I've been driving. Certainly, having a car is nice but the fact there are no suitable alternatives to a particular car makes this land lines at a near to hell. We
- fat. That was the conclusion I reached after walk about several malls, including men, while in Italy I set off by my weight, in this land of grace I on average. Even this fact is more pronounced in married men. I saw some little guys they needed to have a moon orbiting around them. Certainly, I have seen fat women, and their presence was confirmed by various women's apparel stores offering plus sizes have seen. Apparently confirmation came when I saw a program called Venevision "sweating" , where participants coprometÃan to lose weight (did not see in more detail, because I like the Venezuelan television.)
- Any government. The weight of the state is remarkably large in Venezuela, and I'm realizing now, despite coming from Italy, with a mammoth state. It seems that whatever you want to do in this country pass through the toll in the state. Confusion
- monetary . As the redenomination has been quite chucuta, old notes and coins coexist with the new, creating great confusion, particularly with the coins, it is easy to forget that a strong bolivar 10 cents equals a 100 Bs and if we add the shortage of low denomination coins, you get used to receive returned incomplete. By the way, thanks to this similarity, you're looking at the coins for a long time to see if they really gave you what it is.
This Some of the things I've seen so far, of course, touch me expand this later, for now, here I am in Venezuela. Venezuela
