$100 Taxi Ride: (Ep6) - 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 01' 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!
