Must be interesting times in Caracas. The communists live on the west side of town, where the official government buildings are. The middle and upper classes live on the east side of town, where the pictures of the rebellion appear to be from. And there's an east-west subway line that runs between the two sides of town -- you can go in there, ride the subway train and come out in the opposing side of town!
