    You may wonder why this video took me so long to upload - The reason is that I have been having serious problems with the internet in Latin America, I have literally been trying to get the video up for the past 2 weeks with many fails even after sometimes reaching 67% over the space of 4 days and then crashing and having to restart over and over again, but here it is finally! This is something I only have to deal with for a short time period though, people in this area have to deal with it on a daily basis and internet is the least of their problems, I am lucky enough to simply jump on a plane and escape.

      Twenty years ago I went to work for a company that built cranes for a company that built automated warehouses and the client wanted a complete set of CAD files. It would have taken eight hours to transfer the zipped file via email (which would probably fail part way through) so instead they loaded everything on a laptop and had me drive about two hours to the clients HQ were we used cables to transfer the files which took the better part of a day. I feel your pain. We take our faster internet, FTP sites and huge thumb drives for granted these days. Not all of the world is so lucky.

    Really enjoying this series! I lived in Caracas and worked in Petare in the mid-90s. It was extremely dangerous even then, and hearing nearby gunfire was something that happened 20 to 30 times per day at least. Murders took place daily and it was a perpetual game of hide and seek with the malandros as you constantly had to vary your route and be unpredictable to avoid becoming a victim. Going into that area now takes legitimate manberries and I was very happy to see that the Venezuelan spirit is alive and well with people doing good things to help each other "salir pa'lante." Que viva Venezuela - and thank you for giving everyone a current view.

    I was born in the interior of the country near Ciudad Guayana, in Bolivar state. I'm 51 now and left the country in 1978 when I was 10. I've been back to visit three times but not since 1993 before Chavez took over. This is what I take from these videos: On the one hand it's great to see old familiar haunts in Caracas. It's been so long, so it's wonderful to see familiar areas of the city where our family used to frequent. On the other hand, the city looks deserted in comparison to what I remember. Less people milling about, definitely less traffic, noise, and even pollution. I see how the traffic flows easily now through the streets, yet when I was young the noise levels were so high from all the people and motor bikes, cars, buses and "carritos por puestos" (vans that transport people). Also, there used to be more street vendors everywhere, which surprises me since I'd figure people would be scrounging to earn a living however they could nowadays. And of course, the shops were always stocked with all kinds of items just as you'd see in any other country. The shops you've shown seem rather sterile where only the few who can afford to buy there bother entering. It wasn't like that before. Caracas used to be an extremely vibrant city, and even though there was ALWAYS a level of criminality like in so many other places in South America and across the world, it was never like you see it now in this video, where the people seem depressed and you never feel safe no matter where you go. On the plus side, there are many trees. The colonial architecture with the many plazas invites people to gather to while away the time, even if not as safe as before. And the less traffic means the streets and freeways flow much easier. Caracas used to be known for its horrible traffic jams. Maybe the metro subway system has helped with that. And of course, the views across the city remain spectacular as always. Pico Avila, which overlooks the valley, has always held a poetic place in the imagination of venzolanos and is a great place to take the teleferico (cable car) up to appreciate the views. Gracias for taking the time to visit my old country and showing us what you've found so far. Cuidate! / Keep safe....

    Indigo, Thanks for bringing different view of the current situation that normal news won't cover. As a Venezuelan person, it is sad to see how badly the country as turned in the last 23 years. I'm surprise that you haven't encounter yet a situation that you feel the fear of most citizen has about the crime that it is always around the areas. Just to see bikers around and people watching every move that you make, its just increase the paranoid level of possible dangerous situation. I believe you have an excellent tour guide that really knows his way around and he does the best to keep you safe. Let see if you can show us the current situation on the public hospitals and CDC, the people digging for "gold" inside the guaire river, etc. That will show the real suffering of the regular people of Venezuela. Because of course you have the upper class that may be able to find most of the things that they need and have the money to pay it, but the other side is the problem. Also what about the power outages, the super low internet speed, and the availability of getting cash or the parallel market that if you have US dollar you can pay with it.
