Welcome to Venezuela, and have a nice... arraagh!
Killer Fact! 68.7% of visitors to Caracas are dragged from their taxis and scalped within 3 miles of the airport perimeter. Gotta say, though, I lived there for two years and no one stole so much as a tea bag from me; whereas in England scarcely a day goes by when one doesn't get burgled, mugged or punched on the ear.
