Despite a lot of recent, negative publicity surrounding Venezuela's political and economic crises, there are many wonderful things about this country and its capital city of Caracas. Join our host, Victor Diaz, as he shows us one of its iconic sites, Plaza Francia and its obelisk.

This time, Victor takes us on a tour of Caracas's most impressive shopping center, the Centro Comercial Ciudad Tamanaco [Tamanaco City Shopping Center]. Built in nineteen seventy-six to showcase Caracas as one of Latin American's most avant-garde cities, the complex experienced its heyday in the seventies and eighties but still retains its spendor today.

From Caracas, Venezuela, a longtime portrayer of Santa Claus at Christmastime shares with us how he originally fell into the job and what it means to him.

Our friend Victor Diaz from Caracas, Venezuela, introduces us to Judith Zuniaga, the director of the the Suma Deportes [Suma Sports] club, who tells us about its unique approach to the sport of swimming.

From Caracas, Venezuela, Víctor Díaz introduces us to a very special guest: Tony Carrasco, a sports reporter and former player from Venezuela's national soccer team, who will explain to us about some of the sport's English-derived vocabulary.

Víctor Díaz takes us to a beautiful little town called Galipán, located forty minutes away from Venezuela's capital city of Caracas.
