A Country without Butter, toilet paper…
Perhaps you think this caption is a joke or a good strategy for you to pay attention to this entry, nevertheless unfortunately this title represents the Venezuelan reality: The shortage.
Three months ago I wrote an entry concerning this topic, well, as you can see the problem goes on and it seems that it will continue for a long time.
This afternoon I went to the supermarket and when I walked into the store, I could see various persons several people with butter in theirs hands, quickly I said to myself, " wow! “There is butter” it was exciting due because to the last time I saw butter was on in December, that is to say, five months ago.
At first the emotion to see the butter and to have it in my hands makes made me feel blissful and happy, amazing, but then, when I waited to pay for, I thought, Oh my God, this is horrible, because I realized out that I saw the butter not as a something simple or common butter, but rather a something valuable, something great, something difficult to find.
But this is not all, when I leaved to as I left the supermarket I walked to go home while I had the butter in my hands and suddenly in the streets people say were saying to me “Where did you find butter?” or “What luck!, you bought butter”. This really affected to me, because I felt as if I had a bag of money and not a mere butter.
Such a situation is unacceptable; the shortage is to the eye of people and this is one of several negative effects of economic and political problems that the country lives every day.
Is unacceptable that Venezuela right now will become in imported an importer of toilet paper in order to undermine solve the shortage situation.
Anyway, it is unacceptable that Venezuela is a country without butter, toilet paper, coffee, sugar, milk and at the same time is the country which has the largest oil reservoirs worldwide.
P.S: Left picture shows my basket with the butter and right picture shows a girl buying quit butther a lot of butter because she doesn't know when it come back again!

Here are some corrections for you, you have a fantastic 'chatty' style in your entry which is really enjoyable to read!! I didn't understand "the shortage is to the eye of people", perhaps you meant "The shortage is in the eyes of people"??
I am also truly shocked to read this!! But I hope you enjoy your butter :)
