South from Texas: Ep. 3 - Commuting "Al Aire" (Medellin)

In this episode we visit the Colombian city of Medellin, where hundreds of thousands of residents live in neighborhoods situated on steep mountain sides. The city needed a way to connect these "barrios" to the public transportation infrastructure, and the result was the Metrocable, a unique solution that gives much of the city's labor force a chance to take flight every day on their way to and from work.

@EndNuclearAgenda21 By UR, do you mean Uruguay? Yes, I did one (Episode 2 - The Drums of "Candombe"), and there is another one on the way for Season 1 from another city. In fact, I am in Uruguay right now as I write this. :o)

Great stuff! It's neat to see how other people live. The ad that pops up over the video says "Get A Colombian WIfe." I bet you'll get a lot of clicks on it!

@hoohoohoblin - Gee, I only got a "Facebook Friends" ad. :o(

Actually that's not the sort of ad I'd like to see them running on these videos, but anyway, thanks for checking it out and stay tuned. There's more to come.
