Answer 2

No. We use the same voltage than in the US.

The power goes out depending where you go. I'm in Caracas and the power doesn't have that problem here.

Answer 3

Hi!  I actually live in venezuela right now.  I've been here for almost a year now and i can honestly tell u that u shouldn't need an adapter for the outlets.  They use basically the same outlets that we use in the states.  U may have a problem if u have something with a "3 prong" plug though.  Most of the outlets here are only "2 prong".  But u can remedy this by just purchasing a few adapters at Wal-Mart or something.  They'll probably cost u a dollar or 2.  Also invest in a good "surge-proctector".  The power goes out here pretty often (like once a week at times), and that could really damage ur electrical devices.  If u have any more questions feel free to email me and i'll answer them as best i can.  Good luck!!

Not all electrical appliances can be converted, and you have to be VERY careful about that... or you'll blow up your appliances.

The voltage is what you can convert... in the US, everything runs on 110V. Now if you have a computer, it comes with a little black box that goes between your computer and the outlet, right? That's a converter. So you can put a converter at the end of that plug, and you'll be able to use it in Venezuela.

Now for an electrical shaver, or a blender, it's a different story. You most likely won't be able to use these items.
