Hi, I'm John Thompson from Chicago, USA.0:26
I'm 19 years old and I was traveling around the world all last year.0:30
I learned so much about different cultures and I had some crazy experiences too.0:34
I thought I'd share some of my adventures with you.0:39
I hope you enjoy them.0:42
I was traveling in India last September.1:04
One day I somehow caught the wrong bus while trying to get from Delhi to Agra to see the Taj Mahal.1:07
I ended up in a small village in the middle of nowhere.1:13
Next bus back to Delhi tomorrow, the bus driver told me.1:17
Just then a man was passing by with an ox cart.1:21
The bus driver stopped him.1:23
Before I knew it, I was sitting on top of some sacks on the man's cart and we were heading back to the city.1:25
Most of the way it was raining and mosquitoes were buzzing around the ox and biting me.1:31
Sanjeet only spoke Hindi, but he was smiling and laughing all the way and he even shared his lunch with me.1:36
It was very spicy but delicious.1:43
It took us four hours to reach Delhi.1:46
Despite the rain and mosquitoes.1:48
Big waves and little monkeys.2:01
I had another crazy day while I was visiting the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand in March.2:13
One morning I decided to go on a long tail boat trip around the islands.2:17
Unfortunately, the wind was blowing strongly that day and before long I was feeling very seasick.2:21
So I was very relieved when we stopped at a place called Monkey Beach.2:27
Hundreds of monkeys were running towards us as we got off the boat.2:31
But then as I was feeding a piece of pineapple to one monkey, another grabbed my small backpack and quickly ran into the bushes with it.2:34
I tried to run after it but it was too fast.2:42
The bag had my passport in it.2:45
I never saw my passport again.2:47
I had to get a new one from my embassy in Bangkok.2:49
