Venezuela is a charming spot on earth. However, Venezuelans - just like Cubans - are only interested in enjoying life and when it comes to chose a leader, they blunder. Share with them music, arts, booze, good food, nature, love, and you got the best partners. I love-hate them. I lived there the best and the worst parts of my life.
Presently, if you think you could take life in Cuba, by all means, go to Venezuela. But take it into account that Chavez is highly suspicious of anything that has to do with English speaking countries and he is in his country all-powerful. I love Venezuela. I grew up there since I was 13 and left for Israel when 30. I love Venezuelans, but I can't take them... when it comes to serious matters, they look at you with a smile, a cup in their hand and they ask you "...who, me?". Sorry partners...this is a gross generalization, of course, but I left there heartbroken in 1964 and returned to give it a try in 2001...no much had changed. All along half a century, they went from a rightist military government to a leftist military government : the streets are still dirty, the same poor is still poor, the same rich is still rich, the booze is still cheap and my heart is still aching.
Your choice, pal... |
