Black Market

January 20th, 2010: I need to change money on the Black Market. It seems much more devious than it is. If I didnt exchange my US dollars by finding someone on the street or someone who knows someone who knows someone...Venezuela would be so expensive. For example, my battle against the sun cost me a mere $10.50 for a small bottle of sunscreen instead of $24.00 at the official exchange rate. It would have been cheaper to pull a five finger discount but my heavenly self is not ready to stoop that low.
