Product Description
From the Author
The author, Kitt Baguley (kittbaguley@hotmail.com)
NO SHOCKS IN VENEZUELA
When I arrived in Venezuela I was fresh from the windswept streets of autumnal London. Caracas was my first experience of South America and the first time I had lived abroad. I spoke almost no Spanish and knew next to nothing about my adopted home. I was immediately enthralled by Venezuela but also aware that there were many things I needed to know that I only later gained through hard-earned experience.
Culture Shock! Venezuela has been written as a mix of hard facts and my own experience to give a picture of what life in Venezuela is like for the Western newcomer. I spent two years researching via the Internet, books, friends and family in Venezuela to provide as accurate a picture as I could of this diverse and little-known country. The book is deliberately broad in scope to cover a variety of aspects of your new life. Chapters include doing business in Venezuela, Venezuelan customs, a guide to Venezuelan Spanish, Venezuelan society and leisure pursuits as well as background information on the politics, history and geography of the country.

A good grasp of Venezuela and Venezuelans is a vitally important factor in spending a successful and stress-free length of time in this fascinating country. By seeing Venezuela through the eyes of someone who had to adapt to the country, you can prepare yourself for the new and avoid many of the potential confusions and awkward situations that could otherwise occur.
