    How do you reconcile this if you are a local earning local salary? Its insane the price increase. Is it really $35.000 for a steak sandwich, because the exchange are is more or less 1 = 1000.

    Friend flew down last week and me and him have been bitching about the price changes. He messaged me the other day showing the prices of a restaurant he went to last time he was here and the price was double. He travels quite a bit and now second guessing if he should go to Asia or Europe agian.

    Funny you mentioned strikes. I was looking at flights to Caracas. There were gaps where no flights we available. For the available flights, I would have to fly to Madrid then back to Caracas. This might be because of my destination but flight options sucks.

    Question for renters.

    Could you explain what is a "Carta documento"? Is there a template? Is this simply a document stating my issues that need to be fixed and notarized?
