you're right, I haven't seen any of my friends shot dead. but dont sit there and act like I've had a sheltered life. By the time I was 10 I had knives pulled on me regularly and people shouting at me in a language I didn't know. I got in fights with kids twice me age where if I lost, who knows what would have happened. Me and my friends were practically chased out of Venezuela because of Chavez's actions to take over Venezuela and extablish and anti-america platform (which little is being done to prevent right now).
Violence or not, I grew up in 3rd world countries. I am friends with several people that are still living in Venezuela and get treated like shit because they look somewhat american. I dont remember the countries because I was 10 when I moved away from Indonesia, and I spent alot of time in more than 14 countries
Sure kid. Whatever.
If you can't even remember what countries they were, why should we take it for granted that these things happened as you say?
You are not a seasoned traveler because you tagged along with daddy. And I am friends with a lot of people worldwide, but I don't trust everything they say, or feel. That's part pf the experience I'm talking about. You don't have it, because you still have this happy little image that friends couldn't possibly be distorting the image of "persecution" they are giving you.
Oh, and by the way.......No one cares about Venezuela. It doesn't relate to any current major struggles in the world, so stop bringing it up. No one cares, but Venezuelans.
