Long Way Down - 3 - 6

[ajriches93]

@CommonRaven God you utter such nonsense.

[astrophelnoelle]

I adore how they support UNICEF so much on this trip, and what UNICEF is working to do.

[hellomynameismuppet]

has anyone else noticed how Russ and David swap the order of their names from episode to episode? I'd love to see the discussion that led to THAT.

[hellomynameismuppet]

I'm continually impressed by Claudio's work throughout this. You can tell he's climbed up to the top of a cliff to get a shot and then it's shown for only a second. But that level of effort in every single shot means the editors must have had so much to work with. Claudio I salute you.

[Steve84081]

@hellomynameismuppet

Yeah I think Claudio must have worked his butt off with filming. And he still had to do the ride. Great work Claudio... and ya can still ride the Bike to keep up with Ewan and Chalie. Yeah I think Claudio deserves a salute.

[LesRadley100]

Little donkey is so cute! <3

[ClericUK]

I love the way this program doesnt just focus on the history/culture of the countries they visit but also the people who make it what it is today. I take my hat off.

[LucieLeader]

Never mind you Toyota Prius. I am going Donkey Power! xD freakin hilarious.

[bfmv580]

This is perfect. The cinematography, the editing, the production, the music is amazing, this really is the benchmark for the film industry. The only thing that comes close is Long Way Round.

[Khayman780404]

I NEED to go to Ethiopia......my god it is beautiful. The joy I feel from seeing Ewan and Charley do this trip and the envy of not being able to go myself is immense.

Thnx for posting Kowax

[rothery86]

"Crazy no!"

[BeepBall]

CLAUDIO IS SO GAY!

[sportsfreak730]

how did they go from russia to ethopia

[georgeb123]

@sportsfreak730 you went from long way round to long way down

[kmystak]

Who cares about PRIUS?... - Donkey Power!!!

[mardamek1]

@kmystak Amen to that. I was going to write the same thing, but then I saw your comment and cracked up. The interesting thing is that I love donkeys, too, much more than horses...

[kmystak]

@mardamek1  ;)

[CaptainHollister]

I lol'd when Ewan said "...and he's got a huge cock - that's my kind of donkey" :-p

[bfmv580]

I had a read about Eritrea, as I was interested in why they couldn't shoot that way. Eritrea and Ethiopia seem to have a hostile relationship and have threatened war etc. Also It seems the American government, more specificity Hilary Clinton, accused Eritrea of supplying weapons to terrorist militant groups.

[bennocelt]

@bfmv580

isnt America the biggest supplier of mines? anyway know they voted against a world wide ban - hows that for terrorism

[anigamor]

@bennocelt The United States is eliminating all presistant and undetectable mines from it's inventory, except those needed on the North Korean border. Also they are eliminating all presistant mines except anti-vehicle, that are in service right now. The US is going to use mines that have remote detonators to destroy them after combat. The United States wont sign an any mine treaty because it would not be able to protect peoples it is allied with and it would not be able to protect it's bases.

[bennocelt]

@anigamor

protect its allies? like israel one of the biggest markets for weapons, etc and what about its illegal occupation of Palestine?

protect its bases? Could try something like peaceful diplomacy for a change rather than bombing all the brown peoples of the world time and time again

[ElTyranto]

everything looks like scotland ^^

[Benjaminderfisch]

no dislike!!

[marvy999]

feelin a lot wiser after having seen this, thanks for posting

[Monicaplay123]

Did they refer to the hash as "tjald"?

Cause thats like a danish '70s word for.. Well, hash d:

[Monicaplay123]

We forget to credit Claudio - He's done an amazing job!

[echo037]

Ewan will reference Star Wars in every episode

[Monicaplay123]

@echo037 Well, I guess he's proud of it.

[nelesje2]

The solution for climate change: DONKEY POWER!!

[deliriousweare]

@chopper0 right, and maybe that s the reason why people arent intrested in the continent - cause its somehow just associated with bad stuff. (more than other continents or countries) - thank there are documentaries like this.

[Frag280]

never mind toyoota prius, i'm going donkey power!

[ultrabrilliant]

I would love to see these guys ride through rural Japan and China.

[isuckatguitar100]

@ultrabrilliant Yeah, or even something like travelling to India via middle east/Pakistan, then up through Nepal, Tibet and China, and then down through southeast asia. Especially Vietnam, its full of motorbikes, they'd feel right at home! Not sure if thats possible without going through Iraq though...

[TheVlogSister]

I'M GOING DONKEY POWER!

[NorthWriter]

Haha...a random old hulk of a Russian BDRM-2 missile car at 1:09. Only in Africa, man...

[Scruffyman81]

Donkeys are safer than a Prius.

[paintballknight12]

3:28 LMFAO

[slantyrock]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!

[TMMaddict]

Rofling at Ewan's donkey comment. That showoff. xD

[Downcharge]

and a huge cock, my kind of donkey rofl

[DefconBravo]

Anyone know this song?

[KNM1488]

I never realized ethiopia was suchs a nice place with the canyons and all that, really great place to see.

[mjfan123085]

many of the ancient homonid fossils are found around that area. this is where humans came from. that is our home. millions of years ago.

[viniciusb]

@KNM1488 That's because the media, which is controlled by the government, and in turn is controlled by corporations, don't want you to see places they may want to bomb in the future. I was watching Russian Today they other day, and I was caught by surprise when I saw, for the first time, people going about their Sunday in downtown in some city in Iran the same way as we do. You will not see that on CNN, I guarantee you.

[bfmv580]

Poor goats having there heads thrown around for no reason

[Downcharge]

yeah noticed that aswell;/ , poor goats

[KaiTSykes]

did they take 2 trips? one to new york and one to cape town??

[fitch12345]

Yes their first trip was from London all the way around the world to New York then the second is from London all the way down to Cape town. Also right now in the summer of 2009 they are doing the third season of Long Way Up from cape town all the way up to Los Angeles, CA. Last time I check they were still filming.

[wallabingbangbo]

Yeah they did one called Long Way Round first which was from London to New York going around the world, then they did this one.

[TheScotsblade]

Aye.

[sorasgirl22]

Aww

Ewan got so emotional :(

he's a really great guy :)

[klassetompa]

What song at 1:58 ? beautiful!!!

[BRPirates]

wow this really makes you realize that you shouldn't take anything for granted.

what ewan and charley did was amazing, they've been so inspiring

[liverpoolfan3333]

"Donkey Power!" XD

[jack005crybaby]

beautiful nice sunrise! what a fantastic thing to see while waking up!

[ngentotsemua]

i didn't know donkeys were that cute ^_^

i love donkeys now! :D

[tulipchic34]

You can tell Ewan is an animal lover.  Such a nice bloke.

[Thaijutsumaster]

They actually have a cd with music from the series on itunes

[ronkanoff]

THis is one of the best travel videos ever

[klassetompa]

Please, anyone know what the guitar song is at 2:00 ?

[Exhorrder]

Try the long way down website, you should find it there pretty easily

[DigitalGlo]

Its Geoffrey Oryema - Makombo, a ugandan musician, great tune.

[tecna64]

yeah, its so relaxing to hear african music
