Had a chick stay with me last year and she's about to come back to the US to escape for a few month vacation again. Shit was bad last year when she was here but even worse now. Talk to her almost daily so I hear all the stories murders over cell phones, robberies, electric shut offs, internet sucks, no food in stores etc... She left me some of their money as a souvenir cause basically worthless. She's had to trade food for medicine etc... so more of a barter/black market economy cause nobody has shit. Based on months of stories I've heard may be pretty but I wouldn't go visit her there as probably get robbed. So dollar may go far there but what's the point if internet/electricity is spotty and safety is a concern and having dollars doesn't make shit ya need magically import. Her whole neighborhood got robbed last week, home invasion style and they laughed in the security cameras while doing it.
