分集介绍

　Amsterdam & Ho Chi Minh City

In this Episode our Taxi Driver Bea wants to show us what makes the Dutch so laid back, but at a guess it is not the bicycle made for two that we daringly try to navigate through the city.

Amsterdam, famous for its tulips, hosts the biggest flower show and it is here we witness the strange phenomenon of a car driving itself up one of the only hills in Holland!

Next we're off to Ho Chi Minh City, with our driver Vo Ba. The underground tunnels once used by the Viet Cong to launch surprise attacks on the Americans are now a tourist attraction but they serve as a reminder of a gruesome war.

We were lucky enough to be in Ho Chi Minh City on Liberation Day, which celebrates the day the North Vietnamese freed Saigon from the Americans.

　Hobart & Anchorage

It’s north to Alaska and the biggest city of the biggest state in the USA.

We start our larger than life tour at Chilkoot Charlie’s. The legendary bar’s best customer is a bit of a legend himself, not just for his six toes on one foot, but because in the summer months, cabbie Larry Reed is a full-fledged, albeit part-time gold miner who knows 27 blackbears by name at his cabin in the woods.

Larry explains how the city got its name, spots the first seagull (a harbinger of spring), and takes us to meet the unofficial mascot of Anchorage, a pet reindeer named Star.

In these parts, reindeer is game, and though our traveller is game for reindeer sausage, Christmas will never be the same.

Next we're off with our cabbie Maree Abbot to Hobart, Tasmania, an island state off the south eastern tip of Australia where we meet some orphaned kangaroos and wombats, and experience the most intriguing attraction, a Tasmanian Devil.

　【开罗和北京】Cairo & Beijing

Cairo was founded in the 10th century, and it’s been the capital of Egypt ever since. It's the land of pharaohs, pyramids and 16 million people.

In this episode former cabbie Hassan welcomes us into his home and after a mint tea he takes us to a soccer match. After a break for Muslim prayers, we stop for Sheesha water pipes of tobacco that taste like apples baked on a bonfire.

In the Nile, the longest river in the world, we catch the world’s smallest fish and then we're off to the pyramids.

Beijing is our next stop where we meet cabbie Kong. We visit Kong’s home and meet his father, who has his first encounter with a westerner. We are then taught how to perfect the dumpling, before consuming enough to feed a small army.

Kong then leads us on an expedition up the Great Wall of China.

　Beppu & Barbados

This sleepy coastal town in southwest Japan is one of the world’s most active geothermal sites, where boiling water steams from the ground (there are nearly 3,000 hot springs all over town).

Mr. Kakuta our cabbie takes us on Japan’s first wooden roller coaster and we experience a variety of refreshing, therapeutic and otherwise tantalizing ways to let heat in, toxins out.

The first is a sand bath where we’re buried up to our heads in over 40 degree Celsius sand and then we get to soak in hot outdoor mud.

Next stop is the Hihokan Sex Museum, where Mr. Kakuta assures us there is a distinct barrier between nudity and sexuality in Japan!

We next arrive in the western-most islands of the West Indies, Barbados, just in time for a conga line celebration.

From there it’s a laid-back exploration of Bajan life and history, guided by Derrick, a third generation taxi driver.

We take a break from the sun, surf and spectacular scenery to explore the Harrison’s Caves.

　Palermo & Albuquerque

Nestling on the north coast of Sicily, this city by the sea has been influenced by many great civilizations, which perhaps explains why it’s like one giant intersection with no one directing traffic.

Our cabbie Enrico Mazzela takes us to a fishing port, Pilgrim’s Mountain, the Sanctuary of Saint Rosalie, and the Catacombs of Capuchini.

We’re sure the thousands of mummified remains in this ancestral home of the Godfather is just a coincidence.

Enrico enlists his friends in our tour: one careers through the city on her motorized vespa with our traveller hanging on for dear life, and the other gives us a primer on Sicilian wines.

Next we're off to Albuquerque. Even though new freeways have replaced America’s famous Route 66, they still cross the wild west at Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The Aztec Motel is a reminder of the city’s bustling past, and our taxi driver Troy shows us other examples of free-spirited south western architecture. We also visit the National Atomic and Tinkertown Museums.

　Rio de Janeiro & Nashville

In this episode our cabbie Marcello Candal takes us to one of Rio’s poorest areas, we visit the favelas (slums) and meet an artist whose life work is tiling a stairway with gold.

We scale those heights as a prelude to the tram ride up Sugarloaf Mountain and a spectacular view of an amazing city.

Next we're off to Nashville with our cabbie Richard Platt. Deep in the American south lies Nashville Music City USA. Like hundreds of thousands of others before us, we make the pilgrimage to Ryman Auditorium, home to the Grand 0l’ Opry radio show.

Here we stand on the spot where country music legend Hank Williams did six encores. Close by is the world famous Tootsie’s, whose popularity soared mostly because of its proximity to Ryman’s, where you couldn’t smoke or buy a drink.

Here we watch an up-and coming act pursue his dream.

　St Petersburg & Santiago

In the 20th century, it was known as both Petrograd and Leningrad, but just over a decade ago, this 300-year old city started by Peter the Great as a fortress reverted to its original name.

Today this sprawling, cosmopolitan city of St Petersburg is the cultural capital of Russia and cabbie Gennady Victorovich Chensov is going to show us around.

While literary giants like Dostoevsky and Nabokov wrote here, most of its architectural marvels echo of gun shots and cannon blasts.

Partway through our $100 ride, we leave the Lada for a riverboat cruise, fewer bumps, and definitely more secure than our flight in a Kruschev-era helicopter.

Caviar and a Russian sauna lead to a toast to the resilience and beauty of this Venice of the North.

Next we're off to Santiago, the jewel of South America, a city of poets and soldiers. In this episode our cabbie Alwin takes us to the Concha y Toro winery and we taste the traditional Chilean Pisco Sour.

　Taipei & Liverpool

Jih Hsiang Lin aka Shaun our cabbie spent his teenage years in the United States which would account for his unusual Texan accent. He also has an appetite to go with it, so we are never far away from the next meal.

We visit the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall and reminisce about the Generalissimo’s role in battling Communism. Then we imitate the guards; apparently they can go a whole shift without blinking! That’s dedication for you.

Next is a dance with cheerleaders and then it’s off for a night on the town and, oh yes, a bowl of snake soup!

Next stop Liverpool, the birthplace of the Beatles where we first visit the famous Grapes Pub where the Fab Four used to hang out. Here we meet Ronnie Hendry our cabbie, who shows us the real Penny Lane and Strawberry Field.

We climb to the top of the Liver Building for a great view of the city and take a closer look at the statues of mythical liver birds which adorn the top.

　【峇里岛和圣约翰】Bali & St Johns

Between the continents of Asia and Australia, the Indonesian island of Bali is a deeply religious and mystical land. The day of our journey is auspicious indeed as it’s Buddha’s birthday and there is a full moon.

Traditional Balinese dancing is precise, and the costumes are spectacular. We are treated to a morality tale, and later a beautiful interpretation of an epic love story.

Our driver Made takes us to his home, and the only item that isn't blue appears to be his monkey.

After a journey which also includes a palm reading, bartering, basking water buffalo and a cock fight (without the carnage), we watch the sunset, join in evening prayers and give thanks for the day.

Next we're off to St John's with our cabbie Tom Hollett. This $100 ride begins at dawn on Cape Spear, Newfoundland the most easterly point in North America.

We're next off to Historic Signal Hill and at packrat Juanita’s we experience a museum of maritime memorabilia.

　Bucharest & Chennai

In this episode we meet up with our cabbie Octavian in Bucharest, Romania’s capital city. He guides us past former dictator Ceaucescu’s indulgent House of the People, then to the old church where bells were rung to celebrate the malevolent leader’s death.

Once again consulting his oracle, Tavi reluctantly agrees to take us to the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, aka Count Dracula.

Along the way we meet the King of the Gypsies and Tavi makes beautiful music with a synthesiser-playing petrol pump attendant.

Next we're off to Chennai. Under the British it was called Madras. After a too close for comfort encounter with a snake charmer, we visit Marina Beach and watch the fishermen brave the swells of the Indian Ocean to bring home their catch!

　Banjul & Glasgow

On the Atlantic coast of West Africa, Gambia is the smallest country in the whole continent, and our driver Sekar takes us from one end to the other for this $100 ride.

We drive through the capital city of Banjul to Georgetown, where the European slave trade decimated families for centuries.

Today the importance of family is emphasized again and again from a local wedding to a fundraising concert by Jaliba, to Sekar’s own promises to his children. We partake in the local custom of touching a live crocodile to bring good luck.

Next stop Scotland. Scotland has been a part of Britain since 1707, but fiercely holds onto its own identity which includes one of the world’s oldest instruments, a mesmerizing array of tartans, perhaps the world’s most famous whisky, and one of the most incomprehensible dialects of the English language.

From bagpipes to Braveheart, on this $100 ride, Mad Mick McKnight shows us the many extremes of Glasgow and the surrounding Highlands.

　Bilbao & Montreal

In this episode our driver Juan Carlos (not the reigning Spanish King), shows us Casco Viejo, or old town, a rare and funky hanging bridge which ferries passengers every six minutes, and the city’s most popular attraction - the Museo Guggenheim.

Completed in 1997, architect Frank Gehry’s magnificent creation is either bold, beautiful, metallic or monstrous, depending on your viewpoint.

Not only does the Guggenheim attract tourists worldwide, it has also triggered a renaissance of Basque art and culture.

To complete the trip, we experience Jai-Alai, the fastest ball sport in the world, watch some dancers celebrate a monsoon, and sample pintxos a delicious Basque snack.

Next we're off to Montreal which is the second largest French-speaking city in the world. Here we visit St. Joseph’s Oratory with our driver Andrij, where many faithful climb the stairs on their knees.

We sample gooey concoctions from beaver tails and learn their meat is also a delicacy.

　San Francisco & Marrakech

Packed onto a peninsula on the Pacific Coast, San Francisco is one of the most beautiful and engaging cities in America.

Our driver Ally insists we bypass typical tourist sites like Fisherman’s Wharf, but relents long enough for a glimpse of Chinatown and the fortune cookie business.

After stopping for lipstick, we tour Tire Beach, a graveyard gallery of old buses and Ally teaches us the finer points of city driving including horn etiquette.

Next stop is Marrakech. It’s summertime in Morocco, and the fabled oasis of Marrakech is sweltering in the north African heat.

Charif our driver takes us along the hippie trail of the 60s from the air-conditioned comfort of his cab. In the Medina, the old city, we experience the Morocco of antiquity which includes a Berber market selling donkeys.

On our way to the Atlas Mountains, we stop at a kasbah where the pace of life is zen-like, and at a bustling market which dispenses both prescriptions and prickly pear treats.
