Would extreme commute in the world?

Think of the alignment of your trip? Try a resident of the village Yushan in Hubei Province, China, where a rope slide slopes above 1,500 meters above sea level is the only way to access the outside world. We see the traffic during peak times complain today.

A fragile small diesel tram is on the line, a pair over 3000 meters between the remote mountain village and the nearest cliff hanging expand. In fact, "tram" is generous - it is an open cage big enough for a few people (or part of the goods needed to keep the city). And while there are plans to build a road in Yushan, it might be a while before the old transport cart itself be attached to a rope.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Yushan Zhang Xinjian his residence the postcard city has over the last 15 years, a position that grease the cable once a week (no, do not get on AOL Jobs) includes receiving .ventanilla This means that ballot paper strips along, as he is in the top of the basket as a trapeze artist overzealous and lubricates the strings by hand. I repeat: the basket more than 1,500 feet above the ground.

"I at no one would take the job began working there since the rope was created." Zhang said Post. "At first, my father, my brother and I took care of together around the cable, but to leave after my younger brother and my father's health went wrong, only that could do the job."

In the pre-Tiroler days, the villagers had to walk for days to reach the nearest city. Try to remember that the next time you stuck on the subway or sitting in traffic jams are and be grateful for the fact that you do not play every morning a cliffhanger scene are.
