This is my final video in this memorable 9-part series in Venezuela. I am so sad to leave this country - it’s my favorite in all of Latin America and I know that I’ll be back someday soon!
You may have noticed that many of the videos in my Venezuela series have revolved around the unfortunate economical situation (etc) -- but in this video, I wanted to share with you the other side of the story... The high class!
I was shocked to find out that Caracas has an ULTRA WEALTHY inner bubble, with expensive restaurants, swanky bars, high end shopping and exclusive golf clubs. My friend Emmanuel (@DosLocosDeViaje) and I spent my last day in town exploring the luxury life, and it was a blast!
If you’re still reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart for tuning into this series. Thank you for all of your comments, questions and thoughts. It’s a great opportunity to tell stories in a country as misconceived as Venezuela, and it's a true pleasure to open your eyes to real life, real people and real situations happening on these streets. As for now, I’m making a stop home (Arizona) before heading on a road trip around IRAQ Proper - stay tuned for more amazing stories!

Guys thanks so much for watching my Venezuela videos!!!! I'm heading next to Iraq for a 2.5 week road trip starting and ending in Baghdad. Follow my trip in real time on IG Stories! instagram.com/drewbinsky
Bro this video open my eyes on Venezuela. I actually might go there to check it out. Before this I was not keen because you see no food and no gas but wow video is awesome! Love your work
I'm 21, and I'm finally in a place where I feel like I can travel on my own and my first goal is to visit all 50 states! I can't wait to see the world and maybe one day I'll have a flag from every country hanging on my wall 🌎 your videos are inspiring and made me realize I just need to take the leap on hop on a plane !
Why does this have 8 likes AHHAAHHAHA
Where are we going next
That's great bro!! Happy journey
as an Indonesian, the fact that there's a random ad of indonesia in a random place in caracas made my day! 😂 Nice one Mr. Ambassador
Lmao
Wkwkwk
We do love the rich! But put an orangutan as an ambassador..it shows we are with the venezuelan people !LOL
Haha I see them also in London!😍
we are everywherr
It’s great to see a different side of Venezuela. However, it’s also sad that so many people don’t have access to supermarkets like what you showed in this video, nor can they afford most of the items in it. When people are living below the poverty rate, it doesn’t matter if there’s a stocked grocery store. They still can’t afford food.
Nor the $3 that Venezuelans pay for that cable car.
@Prayingmantis211 how do you stay rich with such inflation? If you had a lot of money in bolivars on your bank account you will be poor now, so these people must have dollar accounts or high amounts of other fluid assets, before the crisis started.
The poor and the middle class voted for this. I don’t know how far it will go in America but the Americans voted for this also
That's socialism for ya
@@dekippiesip In mexico, you can open a bank account with a subsidiary corp of citibank, and keep your deposits in "dollars" not "Pesos" - same thing is true in Venezuela - for those banks not owned by the Government
You know drew, what made this series so special was both these people were always there in your video and showed you around. Full of life and energy. A big thank you to both of them too.
Totally, having locals in his video really makes a difference ☺️
Yeah they were why the video was so good, they really are friendly and showed him a lot of things
My Wife and I have traveled Venezuela by Sailyacht from 1993 up to 2007 mostly during Hurricane Season. We have seen a lot of the Country like Margarita, Poto La Cruz, Porto Cabello, Merida, the Llanos etc.
We also witnessed the decline during Chaves´s Ruling and the overwhelming Crime happening around the Ports where we mainly stayed with our Yacht. Venezuela is one of the most beautiful Countrys in the World and its People are incredible! You have brought back wonderful Memorys, thank you for that.
THANKS.
Muchas gracias.
Every major city in Venezuela has some bubble places but Caracas itself is a bubble compared to other cities, specially the ones that are far away from Caracas (like Maracaibo, which is very deteriorated and you can feel the crisis a lot more but even there you can find alternative realities).
True 👍🏻
I live in a town which is 100km away from Maracaibo. I used to travel almost every weekend to the city of Maracaibo to hang out with my friends, go to the cinema, buy stuff, run errands, doctor’s visit or whatever, and that was a normal thing until 2015-2016 but right now it’s so hard, expensive and even dangerous (harsh road conditions and carjacking in the road). I finally went after almost a year to Maracaibo with my sisters to run some important errands and we spent $700 in just 3 days (including $175 in 120 liters of gasoline and $240 in a kinda deficient 4 star hotel for $80 per night). Not to mention that crisis in this town is waaaaay worst than Maracaibo. When I finally arrived to Maracaibo I felt what people from Maracaibo feel when they go to Caracas, so you can imagine how worst it is.
Lol, I edited an orthographic error and Drew’s like disappeared :(

No one:
Someone on the Ministry of Tourism of Indonesia: What if we put our advertisements on the Venezuela's cable cars?

@@vieriabdurrafi8933 what a phrase wonderful
As a Venezuelan, I can say your videos about Venezuelan are very accurate, well rounded and awesome. Thanks for the coverage and hope you enjoyed your time there!
Now what about the your country ??
Moral of the story: If you have money u can live happily no matter what the country is😆
No really true , the people that has money in Venezuela , just like Cuba , are connected to the state !! There is NO WAY You can be against the current government and have a expense running restaurant .... trust me ,, IMPOSIBLE ......
When people say you can’t buy happiness, you technically can buy things that make you happy.
@SputnikPancakes is that country good to live?
Always been the case!
Bro there is huge difference between moral and money.

There's nothing underneath to catch it if something happens! 🤔
@@lastofthe70schildren70 same
I spent almost a year in Quito, Ecuador and I experienced the same thing. Neighborhoods with huge houses, European cars that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, luxurious country clubs where rich kids get to ride horses that cost an insane amount of money, Japanese restaurants that charge at least 50-60 dollars per person and so on.
All that just a block away - or even less - from where people lived in tin shacks.
These countries give a whole new meaning to corruption.
Such a shame.
Sounds like where I live. West Palm Beach.
First, you cannot compare Ecuador with Venezuela. Ecuador is still a Capitalist country.
Quito also has Middle class people. Many of us, quiteños, belong to the middle class.
Corruption in Latin America exists, just like in any other country in the world.
We have *everything* in natural resources, but corruption does not let us be a develop economy.
Unfortunately, it happens in the entire world - no exceptions!
Personally, happy to belong to the Middle Class and proud to be Ecuadorian.
Can’t compare Venezuela with Ecuador. Ecuador is in a way better spot than Venezuela.
@@ran160 Thank you for speaking the truth.
According to the United Nations and World Bank, 85% of Venezuelans live in International Poverty (basically they're truly poor). That figure is around 10-25% in other countries in the region like Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Perú.
I've met shoeshiners in Guadalajara, Mexico that take home around $15 a day on a normal one ($300 MXN), and if they work let's say 25 days a month, then that's 7500 MXN ($375 a month). Was he doing super well? No, very working class pay in Mexico. But at least the guy has a shot, almost half the population in Venezuela is literally on the verge of starvation
@@fernandaconstante1294 Caracas has middle class people. The whole "everyone earns $5 a month" is insanely inaccurate
in my country: *sorry ma'am/sir we have no enough change*

@Musa Ahmad I'm in the UK, there are rich people living in mansions and people in the streets. Probably the same everywhere. It's sad and it shouldn't be like that, but the rich controls alot

"wealth never disappears, it simply moves around"
Good point.
No, wealth dissapears if you don't work with the Gov, My dad had a business in Venezuela and the government took it, this asshole that Drew was hanging with was clearly with the government, disgusting to see a smile on his face spending 100$ stolen from the people of my country, absolutely obnoxious

i'm loving these longer videos. the venezuela series has been amazing!
Good to know 😌
@@drewbinsky yes
@@drewbinsky Yes please continue making them
Under dictatorships, those at the top make themselves rich. Instead of entrepreneurs and business people making lots of money, it's the government officials who have an "in" with the regime.
Exactely
The only rich people are the ones with political friends..
Well, it’s the ‘business people’ who are having an ‘in’ the regime and exploiting the poorest class
Thats true in most countries
@@RandomGuy-rc6vd but in authoritarian-socialist systems the businesspeople HAVE to have connections with the government to get rich. The small business owners like the baker & shopkeepers in Drew’s previous videos have NO CHANCE to grow bigger.
Exactly, that is a dictatorship at its best.
So you started making bigger videos.... I like them, better than the short ones
Good to know that 😌👍🏻

All good things come to an end
10:23 , Drew I swear I can always can feel your pain when you find yourself in a scenario where a business or person will so obviously rip you off just because you’re a foreigner, especially after you’ve played the game for so long
Born and raised in CCS (‘80-90s) I see these videos and wonder... where is everyone??? (I know the answer, but it’s astonishing to be able to literally see the results of mass exodus)

6-7 years ago you could buy a lot with $1. Like you could go to a fancy restaurant with $5 or less, the situation was already pretty bad by that time but if you had US dollars in your pocket you could live like a king with $200 or less. Right now, due to hyperinflation you need at least $1000 or more to buy the same things that you could buy with a 100-200 USD years ago.
Sound like the golden age is over, land of beautiful women and living like a king with a few hundred dollars lol
@@oscarbear7498 those are the consequences of socialism.
that’s not how hyperinflation works
hyperinflation affects the domestic currency
@@rooksman64 no, it does affect the USD internal purchasing capacity as well. This doesn’t mean that there is inflation expressed in USD, but rather in bolívares.
Before the hyperinflation, the devaluation of the domestic currency was higher and more aggressive than inflation. This means that even when the prices expressed in the domestic currency were increasing rapidly, the USD increased more aggressively against the bolívar, which caused the USD purchase capacity to increase against domestic prices.
Once hyperinflation started, people started to use the USD as a purchase method, hyperinflation became way more aggressive than the demand of dollars, and prices started to increase in USD as well. So yes, hyperinflation affects the purchase of power of all the instruments of exchange used in society. This doesn’t mean that there is internal inflation of USD caused by the local government, that is impossible since there is no way that the local government can ever print a single dollar, but rather hyperinflation caused by excessive printing of the domestic currency that is making the prices to rise faster and more aggressively than the exchange rate between the VEF and USD.
@@arthuroantonio dude obviously purchasing power of foreign currency increases but that does not mean things become more expensive for the foreign currency
Great content dude. I really learned a lot about Venezuela. Seems like an amazing place going through a lot of heartbreak, trying to make the best of an impossible situation. Thank you for your honest journalism.
This is reminds me SO much of Zimbabwe! It’s literally like how things are over there where only the few enjoy the luxuries. The rich and the very poor, with a disappearing / none existent middle class.😏

Back in the day (e.g. 1940s-1960s), Venezuela got substantial immigration from Spain, Italy, Portugal, and elsewhere. It was richer in those days than now.

@@drewbinsky You're Welcome😁!
Seeing that random ad to travel to Indonesia while in Caracas unlocked a memory for me. While I was studying abroad in Japan during college in 2017 I distinctly remember boarding a train in Kyoto and one of the ads in the train car was from the "Pure Michigan" campaign that was ran a few years back for tourism in the state. Definitely caught me off guard and had a laugh at that!
Mind blowing that a two drinks and a sushi for 2 was $100.00 ? insane!!!
I think they probably overcharged them possibly.
This is literally the best series you've done.
Thank you for entertaining us during these shit times.

Hey, can I ask you when was the last time you went home?🤗 but you should go for sure🥰
Well just like what the old saying goes..."there's no place like home".
Kind of sad that the “ultra rich” lifestyle in Venezuela is accessible for most middle class Americans
Thank you socialism for making this possible! 🤣
not quite... I was middle normal class in Venezuela yet we lived in a spacious 3 bedroom apartment and (this might be a littler higher) we had access to a "club" which was a facility with pools, restaurants, party rooms, etc. that many go for a weekend getaway inside the city. When I emigrated to North America, I realized that THOSE things (among others) are exclusively available to wealthy people... You see how middle class in USA or Canada live and most live in 1 bedrooms apartments and those clubs are only for very millionaire people, while the rest has to go to community parks (which is totally fine, but just in terms of comparison). Even things that you take for granted in my home country like In-suite Washing/Dryer machine, are considered "luxury" items exclusive for Condos... Of course, on the other hand, it's the trade off you make for living in a more stable country with opportunities of work, etc... Just pointing out that that was something that really struck me when I moved.
@@antonk5414 middle class in the United States don’t live in one bedroom apartments. The mean salary of an American is around $55000, median is lower but regardless, I can assure you many Americans have access to pools and restaurants. My original point was most middle class Americans CERTAINLY have access to all the restaurants Drew found. Likewise, that “nice” sushi restaurant, that had a terrible concept and design, could be found in every mall in the metropolitan area of any major city in the United States.
@@g3toutth3way I agree on that restaurant point... It's common to find that in US. Yeah access to pools and restaurants for sure, just not those "private" clubs complexes is what I meant. However, on 55k salary, depends which city you live, how expensive it is and if you're a family and have a higher income between the two. I live in Toronto (which is almost as expensive as NYC) on a 55k salary (converted from CAD) and I can assure you that 60% people live in apartments/condos that cost around 2000$ a month (which is almost half of a paycheck) cause they can't afford more, unless you live with a partner or roomate. And houses are 1 million dollar and up... Of course, if you talk about smaller cities and towns... I guess with that salary or a combined income you could afford much bigger places.

I'm Venezuelan, when I lived there 15 years ago, nightclubs required you to buy a full bottle of alcohol up front, the price was 5-10 times that of the retail price in liquor stores, I asked one of the owners once why it was so expensive he just said "This keeps the monkeys out" which is the derogatory term for poor people in Venezuela.

Having you on my team of subscribers makes a huge difference...
Keep Traveling.
Great work Drew. I lived in Venezuela from 2004-2006. If you ever get a chance to go to Puerto la Cruz there are some amazing places to see. Las Villas is the nicest neighborhood in Venezuela that I saw.
11:05 this happened today in Italy and 3 people died with a fallen cable car. 😭
Rip to those people 🙏🏽
Well a couple decades ago.. Venezuela was the 3rd richest nation in the world.
Venezuela’s spirit is strong. The fact that there is a upper class and restaurants that cost the same if not more than here in the United states shows that the country wants to prosper and won’t go down so easily. Venezuelan people perform well under pressure. They are quick on their feet and keep a cool head. If we had this problem in the States we wouldn’t last at all. We have to remember this was one of the worlds most succesful countries when it comes to this part of the world. Beautiful place and amazing people.
Yes. Hace mucho tiempo cuando yo veía el alto consumo de comida, bebidas etc de nosotros, los venezolanos, me preguntaba sí viniese un sistema comunista, nosotros lo aceptaríamos. La respuesta es NO.
Por diversas razones, yo creo que ya es poco probable que los Castrocomunistas implementen su modelo cubano aquí en Venezuela. Pero, seguro que tenemos problemas pero no nos rendiremos ni dejaremos de criticar al gobierno Castrocomunista nunca.
Durante la pandemia fallecieron aproximadamente 400 médicos y enfermeras TODOS VENEZOLANOS..y UD. Sabe cuánto era su salario? Entre 3 y 30 dólares mensuales. (3-30$/month)..They have been working without salary.

Love this! All you ever hear about Venezuela is inflation inflation, poor country and all. Nobody seems to know there is much more to it! I have Venezuelan friends and they’re lovely people. Great video Drew!
Some are definitely more equal than others.
When you open a video fast but don't know what to comment 👀
This feels like a totally different experience then the rest of the country
I think Drew caught a little buzz at the end!😂😂😂😂😂 GREAT VIDEO!
Oh My goodness. Took the cable car to Hotel Humboldt frequently in my youth. 70s -80s .Learned to ice skate there. Sometime we would hike to the hotel from the highway.
The “alternate” side of Venezuela that profit from the suffering of the poor, all while managing to further inflate the economy👍
Correct
Borderline traitors IMO.
@@anentiresleeveoforeos2087 I really like drew too I think he typically gives an unbiased view of the places he visits but this was pushing it
@@TriuneWorshipper drew is a Jewish man with well off parents and he got all the opportunities. Next time he visits Caracas he needs to speak with corruption
which country does not have this?????
Thanks for showing us the rich side and the poor side.. That's the way it suppose to be.. Most bloggers come to Africa to show the poor side only, leaving out the luxurious part.. That sends a wrong message.
Half information is a wrong information
"the water is on fire!"-Drew, 2021
I have been a fan of Drew and I am always interested on what's happening in Venezuela. I can't find any other videos that focus on Venezuela during this pandemic and current economic situation. I really enjoyed all the videos you made about Venezuela. Keep safe on all your travels. from PH.
Durante la pandemia fallecieron aproximadamente 400 médicos y enfermeras TODOS VENEZOLANOS. Su salario mensual: 3 -30$ .
El personal venezolano sigue atendiendo sus pacientes, sin sueldo prácticamente.
Es más, la asignación para cada médico cubano es superior al del personal venezolano.
3:07 "My mouth is wet like a dog" that one killed me😂
I’m from United States and I want to got to Venezuela so badly
Dont
You need a visa which is a pain in the ass. Good luck
I'm from Venezuela and I want to go to the U.S. so badly 🤣🤣🤣
Such a beautiful country with a lot of potential, without its corrupt government, it would be one of the wealthiest country in the world
