Here's a very interesting eight minute youtube made by a friend who lives and works in Caracas, Venezuela. He bikes to work every day and just a couple of days ago decided to record his journey for posterity.
In the video you get English language comments popping up that explain more, too. A great way of experiencing what the better side of town called Caracas really looks like. You also get to see just how bad the famous traffic jams are (yep, they're bad).
Final note: If you're surprised about the high level of development in the city and the total lack of Wartburgs and Trabants on the street you've been watching too much Fox News.
