What $115 will buy you in Venezuela....

[Expat1 971]

^^^^^ Stole this for later

A guy was sent a 100 Euro note in Venezuela.. Dollars and Euros are in such short supply in Venezuela that their value has become amazing. Combined with the heavy government control on prices it is crazy how far that money will go.. He decided to splurge and live like a king for a month. He put an ad on craigslist to sell the 100 Euro note and this is what he got in Bolivars:

So what did his 100 Euros (about 115 Dollars) get him in Venezuela?

- An apartment for an entire month $13.70

- A night at five star a luxury hotel $9.93

- A plane ticket to visit another area of Venezuela $9.00

- The lease of a restored 1956 Cadillac to drive back $3.40

- 34 crates (238 bottles) of bear $12.34

- Three grams of Cocaine $5.72

- Twenty Grams of Weed $8.00

- Dinner at five top rated restaurants $10.26 (that's for all five meals and drinks combined)

- two hour massages and acupuncture at the finest parlor in town $2.86 (went three times)

- Filled the tank of 32 cars (everyone in his building) $3.00 (gas is under a penny a gallon)
