The Safest City: Calgary
These months I've been studying in Calgary and I'm enjoying my life here because I can do many things that in other countries is a risky to do. For example, everyday when I take the C-Train I use my laptop or Ipad freely without fear that someone steals. In contrast, it's impossible to do that in Caracas because there are many thefts on any public transit systems. Simple things, such as walking around the downtown using my smartphone while in my city had been victim of mugging. In Calgary I see as many people remotely turn on your car or if they will go to a supermarket for a few minutes left on his car turn on in front it. This for me is a joke because in my country people leave their cars always with any security device active and still they say that they not know if when return the car will be there. Still worse than when they are in the car could be victim of carjacking because the trauma of these types of thefts is strong. In addition, I always read the news and in this city the crime rate is incredibly low while Caracas is one of the most dangerous cities in the world. In fact, it's not a good example to compare these two cities because the difference in safety is great. However I have visited many other cities of this continent and from my experience I have come to the conclusion that Calgary is the safest city I've known.

The Chinita's Fair
The best days of year in Maracaibo are the days of The Chinita's Fair, these day are in November. Many people funny celebrate the day of their Virgin with many religious and recreational activities, as visit to Church, or go to some event in honor to Chinita. There are a lot thing to do, like as go to baseball game, bullfights, Latin concerts, Gaitas concerts and taste different dish of typically food from Maracaibo. The traditional Chinita's game where play the local baseball team called "Aguilas del Zulia" (in English means Zulia's Eagles). The hot afternoon of Bull where many people go to the enjoy the Bullfighs. The best bullfighter win the Chinita's gold rosary. The last two days are the best; the tradition is stay awake for the finally party that start the 17 of November with many Gaitas concert in different place of the city including one in front the Chinita's church; and all ends the next day, the 18 of November that is Chinita's day. It's fantastic, magic, religious and always rainy (always rain this day), they say that virgin always cry in her day. If you want to know Maracaibo, its traditions and food; I recommend you that come to the Chinita's Fair, one of the best fair of Venezuela. I promise you that I'll spend the better because the people from Maracaibo is very friendly. For all these good things, I say to the world that come to Maracaibo for Chinita's Fair; here all is cute and funny!!.

The Best City to Live in Venezuela.
I've lived in the three biggest cities in Venezuela. These cities are Caracas, Maracaibo y Valencia. For me Valencia is the best city to live in Venezuela. First, the crime rate in Valencia is lower than Caracas and Maracaibo. Live in a security city is a good reason to choose a place to live. Second, Valencia is a city less crowded than Caracas and very similar in population to Maracaibo. In Caracas the traffic is always stuck all day on weekdays, Maracaibo and Valencia have this problem only in peak hours. Third, enjoy the free time in the best beaches of Venezuela and one of the best of the Caribbean sea, Los Cayos that is a group of small islands located in Morrocoy National Park. In my case I love the beach and Sun. When I lived in Maracaibo I spent 6 hours to Morrocoy by car and from Caracas I spent 4 hours, but from Valencia to Morrocoy just spent 45 minutes o you can go to Isla Larga just 25 minutes. For all these reasons, I think that Valencia is the best city to live in Venezuela.
