We met a couple, he from Venezuela, she from Peru, but they live in Germany. He told us he couldn’t exchange Venezuelan currency at the border because the Ven. economy sucks. Peru, however, is “at the center of the four strongest economies in South America,” she told us, “Chile, Peru, Brazil, and Colombia. So Peruvian currency is very welcome.” In Venezuela you can buy US dollars from the government when traveling abroad ($1,000 for a neighboring country; $2500 for Europe), but that doesn’t get you too far.
I love these mini-conversations we have.
