Today i will try to explain you, the reader, the day to day from a Venezueland. As you know in you news channel, social network or something else, Venezuela are involved in a delicated political situation but... the post you read, are real? i will try to explain you my day to day from here, my bed in Venezuela.
First of all we need to catch some food to survive the whole month but, in my case, im getting like 30-35USD per month doing programming things for a company (its like 700.000BsF.) plus of it, i have recentrly bought a mining hardware so i can get extra 30 USD per month.
Im getting out my home to find something but no, the food are regulated and i see a long tail to get 2 "Harina Pan" for 0.50$. Wen i getting close to my turn... the "Harina" gone, so i need to go another site for some food again... past 2-3 hours i decide to buy imported food that are really expensive, the same 2 "Harina" now are 2$ and that just are for 3 days of food, plus i need to buy chesse (like 1$ per KG) and some whater (like 0.50$ per 5LT). I expend 15$ for a week of food. Good! now i have 45$ and going to pay services.
First service are electricity, like 0.2$ per month, next internet (+ mobile) there are expensive, 5$ per both services. Whater and cleaning services are like 1$ per both. 6.2$ are gone, 12 MD and im hungry so i decide to buy a pizza. 0.5$ plus a coca-cola 0.2$. Next, im comming to my house in the public transport but i know there are full of passagers:
but i need back! so i start walking to my home praying to no get stealed of the rest of my money or get killed for no reason.
After 1 hour i get back to my home, my wife are some preocupated because i no respond the cellphone, we can use the cellphone while we are walinkg, we can get stoled it.
I put some TV but... no, there are a national "information program" showing "how the govern do all the good things and EEUU are doing wrong things". I shut down the TV and come to PC but.. oh! the internet are really slow (i have 4mb down 0.5mb up) so i just try to put some music to relax. After 2 hourse all are turning dark: the electricity was gone with no reason.
4 PM and just we are seeing our faces each other, thinking about the world or something else... now are 7pm and the electricity back so we can continue doing our home - works.
After see the news -see killed or murdered people are normal on it- we dispose to sleep. thinking: Now we have 40$ for the rest of 3 weeks, praying for our healt and thinking: really is it Venezuela?
People from all the world: Venezuela have a good people with a bad govern, we have a bad economy but with some effort we can survive. We need to work hard and stay safe, awai from the bad people. But...
We can have freedom again, in some moment... in some day of some year... but they will back to us.
Don't trust 100% the news.
If you have any question about Venezuela, political situtation, economical, food, etc, feel free to put it and i will answered it!
Cheers,
