Travel Blogs from Merida
Home to the best guesthouse in the entire world!!

Venezuela
... just about everybody owns a car there, which makes sense as the price of gas is only about $1 for 90 liters or 24 gallons, depending which measurement system you fancy. I saw one guy filling up his car and when he was done, he pulled out the nozzle and gas was still pouring out all over the ground. Obvious environmentalists, but that’s besides the point.
