Constellation visits El Guamache port, Nov. 30, 2005
Today was an interesting day at the port.
Some of the comments I hear from people prompt me to state these details about Margarita.
1. The language spoken in Margarita is Spanish.
2. The money is in denominations of bolivars. They do not use any money worth less than a bolivar. They have coins and paper money in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 1.000, 2.000, 5.000, 10,000, 20,000 and 50.000 bolivars.
3. Venders at the port accept US dollars but they cannot accept change for less than a dollar because the banks and money exchanges will not accept it.
4. Just because people speak a different language than you does not mean they are less intelligent or that they do not have feelings. Please treat people with respect. Your lack of manners and bad attitudes only helps to promote the "ugly american" label among foreigners.
Thanks for listening, chau
