I stayed in a resort in Caracas as a child. Outside the resort area, I was astounded by the poverty I saw. It was beautiful country, with the mountain and ocean combo, always a favorite, but the people lived in crates.

Good one. Tragic. The stories out of there are scary. An 80-year-old woman was trampled to death for food.
