I grew up in Caracas, Venezuela. It is the capital of my country. This city never sleep, there are a million of people living in the same point. You need to have two jobs for survive, it is one of the reason because this city does not sleep. The traffic is terrible all the time, and the politic is terrible, we have a lot of corruption, burglars, delinquency, poorly, etc. But what makes my city beautiful is "the people", does not matter what is happening, how poor we are, how crazy is our government, or how critical are the circumstances, anyway, WE ARE HAPPY!!Is easy to stop in the meddle of your day, since wherever you are and to see the enormous mountain “El Avila”because this is located around of the city.
This mountain is green all year. Despite of that there are many cars in the city, the air is constantly cleaning because this beautiful mountain. You can go to the top of the mountain in car, walking or in Telemetry, here you will see the city in one side and in the other the Caribbean Sea.
I am extremely proud of my city and its people,tell me if you will go there someday, I will give you all information necessary for you meet the best places in the beautiful Caracas.
Carolina,
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about the people in Venezuela that keeps them positive in spirit, while many external factors around them are negative? You know this could make a very interesting book. You have shared so much insight with us in class about the situation (past and present) of Venezuela and its people. Is Caracus the size of New York City?
Maybe the reason is the culture, we are all the time in parties, everything that happens is a reason for celebrate, everything is a joke, and when the terrible things happen, we go to celebrate for to be alive. We have had terrible days because the government, but the next day we tray to forget it and keep smiling. We never lost the hope of see our country in a better politic situation. Before this government we were bag, but after it, we are significantly worse.
