The robbery is a problema that we have in our country ¨Venezulea¨, I doubt that in another country you can get assaulted so many times like here in this country.
I bet in Europe you don´t have this problem, because it´s unlikely that you suffer a robbery situation, in those countries the security is very important and for the government the people is their main interest.
In Venezuela the people or the political that wants to govern only thinks therse´s a good chance to rule a country without thinking in the people they govern.
It doesn´t seem posible that living in a rich country there are so many poor families and the insecurity is killing us day by day.
It´s historical origin is because the tradition tells that on the shore of the Maracaibo lake a litlle plank appeared and an old lady found it, which took to her house. In the elapsed days, on November 18 of 1709, the old lady heared some blows on the wall of her house where the litlle plank was hanging. At first, she ignored this noise, but they bécame louder and persistent, she decided to approach to the noisy place and she saw that on the plank the Chinquinquira Virgin appeared and a shiny light came from her. In the presence of this phenomenon, the old lady went out to the street and started to shout: Miracle, Miracle! Since then a monument of the Chiquinquira Virgen was builted in the exact place of the lady´s house, which was located in front of the Basilica. Here in Maracaibo we love this fair, I still don´t know anyone that doesn´t like it, because there´s too much celabration, we have parties everywhere to suit all tastes, even in churchs we have celabration, even though the people take out the monument of the virgin of the Basilica and walk her to some places of the city.
Dawn in thebasilica Some people have their own celebration, they have parties or dinners with their family and freinds, and that is their way to venerate the Chiquinquira Virgin. We have a lots of custums , we start to decorate our house with a lots of lights, we have family reunions and eat ¨Hallacas¨ this is our typical food and all this together is the beginning of Chritsmas too. We have lot´s of activities, on the weekends we can go dancing or visiting freinds and relatives. In Maracaibo there is an Avenue which name is Bella Vista, that the Mayor´s office of Maracaibo city decorates, it´s really beautiful and everyboby enjoys it, and all this begins with the Virgin of Chiquinquira Fair. This fair has a big religious significance to us, because I think there is no Maracaibo citizen that doesn´t believe in Chiquinquira, everybody says that she does miracles, and thats very true. There is a commercial significance too, in this Bella Vista Avenue and in all the city, in Malls and in stores, and even in front of the churches you can buy a little monument of the virgin, mostly the tourist, this is one of the main souvenir of our state.

When I was twenty four years old, I was very poor and I needed money,one day I decided to a rob a bank,
Break in and get all the money to solve my problems, so I commited the robbery, but I didn`t get lucky because the police.
Catched me and made a lots of questions, they ask me if I had an alibi to save me, but I didn't and they knew I commited a crime , I made a confession and they arrested a criminal.
´´ That was me´´. So now I'm thirty four years old, I'm free, and now I know there is a law that we have to respect.
The food is very important for our culture because it´s something that represents us as venezuelan, we have different types of typical dishes like the ¨Pabellon Criollo¨or ¨Venezuelan Pabellon¨, it´s one of the most representative typical dishes of our kitchen. Full of colors and a variety of flavors, it possibly evokes the unoin of the ethnic group that integrates our town, it has the unique and warm aroma.
The Pabellon is a dish that has joined us along our history, it has grown with us, with little variations in different region of Venezuela, but always keeping the unique and pure essences of the national dish par excellence, it´s representative of the latin american cuisine, it is difficult to specify the origin but at the end of century XIX it was recognized in Caracas.
It is composed of White rice, Shredded Beef (carne mechada), black beans and slices of ripe plantain, which are fried, all arranged in a dish standing out it´s color, aroma and flavor. A balance is created in this dish in all it´s components, as well as in it´s color, as in it´s flavor, each one is an important part of the venezuelan culture.
Also, in some cities, they like to add other ingredients, like in Caracas, they add egg. The Pabellon is a very special dish for our culture, sometimes in parties, reunions and celebrations it is given as a main dish and we, as venezuelan love this dish because it is delicious.
