My house, my neighbourhood

My neighbourhood is pretty calm.  There are plenty of greenry. We have a little park with some monkey bars, a see-saw and a playground slide for kids. The neighbourhood is pedestrian-friendly, the sidewalks are huge. Most of the houses are new but at the same time most of the houses are run-down.
Near my neighbourhood subway stations are scarce because there is not a subway in my town (under construction) but we do have a bus stop. 
Luckily, there is no litter nor garbage problems around my house. All the neighbours are clean and don't like the mess.

What errands do you do often?

Particularly, i clean my room every sunday in order to get rid of all the mess around my space.

I take my parents to the market and help them unload the bags when we're back in the house. Then, i go to the bank and pay the enrollment for the trimester at URBE, there's always a line. 

I go to the dentist once a year so that my teeth keep healthy. Finally, i'm taking french lessons every evening. These are basically my errands.

Family in Venezuela

The common venezuelan family is formed by 3 or 4 people. Nowadays parents prefer not to have more than 2 children because of the bad economic situation that vnezuelan population is going through. 
 In addition, when a man a woman decide to settle down, they still prefer to get married  after living together for a while. That's the reason why cohabiting is not a common practice.
At the same time, there is a huge growth of teenage pregnancy, so young families are becoming commoner as time goes by, In spite of  the cotranceptive methods broadcast on tv and the whole media. Most of the families still prefer to tie the knot. Families with 1 car per house are on the top.

Bank Robbery

As he needed money for a living he had to go and get it from somewhere. Thomas felt despair and planned a bank robbery so that he could bring his good life back again.
One morning he decided to execute his plan and he run away from his house with a huge green sack. He got to the bank and waited till the cops distracted. He waited so much that he had fallen asleep next to the main door. The bank was about to close and the cops had to make sure that nobody was inside the building, then they found thoma's body on the floor and they laughed at him as his plan failed. Thomas was handcuffed but we was released after a while as there was no proof of crime.
