Colombia or Venezuela ?

Question

which country is better , in terms of social , and economic opportunities, i know they dont have ,the most opportunity compared to other places , but im asking because my family is colombian and they say Venezuela is better because in Venezuela at least they have a decent house , car and foods to eat and free Universities , they left Cali colombia because it sucked when it came to jobs,housing,and the colombian drugs and FARC made stuff miserable. Now colombia is a cool country but even though Venezuela is kinda down lately it is still better off than colombia , Also Venezuela has over 2 Million colmbians both legally and illegally that seeked refuge from Colombia.

Answer 1

Colombia is better. Period. Chavez is a socialist fool. If you are the kind of person that wants the governmentt to give you everything and dont want to work. Venezuela is for you. What University in Venezuela has the reputation of Universidad de los Andes? Even Chavez knows that one.. NONE. Colombia has better beaches (including los roques), more stuff to see and even with Las Farc, it is still safer than Venezuela. If you are a Marxist idealist who believes that socializing everything will end up any different that Cuba.. think again. Chavez will run Venezuela into the ground.. With every turn .. he becomes more like Castro.. and less like a real leader.  

Answer 2

All the facts that you mentioned are true man... There are more colombians in Venezuela than Venezuelans in Colombia.... You should go to Venezuela, the situation there is ok the only problem is the president but he wont be looking after you, hes just crazy and thinking about the socialism, but the people in Venezuela lives happy with him or without him...In fact in Colombia there is problems with the FARC too, so its your choice you picked the one you like more good luck..

Answer 3

I agree with the previous answer.  Colombia is way better off.  The economy in Venezuela is so volatile, one day it's booming, the next day it's in the toilet.  Bogota has really blossomed and its University is becoming very prominent.  I also think that cities like Cali and Medellin have become more gentrified as far as tourism, and that has driven out some of the drug influence.  (at least from what I've heard).  From a tourist stand point, I think Colombia is much more stable and I felt a lot safer there than in Venezuela.  Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
