Hi, I'm John Thompson from Chicago, USA.0:27
I'm 19 years old, and I was traveling around the world all last year.0:30
I learnt so much about different cultures, and I had some crazy experiences too.0:35
I thought I'd share some of my adventures with you.0:40
I hope you enjoy them.0:43
Traveling by Ox Cart.0:44
I was traveling in India last September.1:05
One day, I somehow caught the wrong bus while trying to get from Delhi to Agra to see the Taj Mahal.1:08
I ended up in a small village in the middle of nowhere.1:14
"Next bus back to Delhi tomorrow," the bus driver told me.1:18
Just then, a man was passing by with an ox cart.1:22
The bus driver stopped him.1:25
Before I knew it, I was sitting on top of some sacks on the man's cart.1:26
And we were heading back to the city.1:30
Most of the way it was raining, and mosquitoes were buzzing around the ox and biting me.1:32
Sanjit only spoke Hindi, but he was smiling and laughing all the way, and he even shared his lunch with me.1:37
It was very spicy but delicious.1:44
It took us 4 hours to reach Delhi.1:47
Despite the rain and mosquitoes, it was a lot of fun.1:49
Big Waves and Little Monkeys.2:02
I had another crazy day while I was visiting the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand in March.2:14
One morning I decided to go on a longtail boat trip around the islands.2:19
Unfortunately, the wind was blowing strongly that day, and before long I was feeling very seasick.2:23
So I was very relieved when we stopped at a place called Monkey Beach.2:28
Hundreds of monkeys were running towards us as we got off the boat.2:32
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.2:35
I tried to run after it, but it was too fast.2:43
The bag had my passport in it.2:46
I never saw my passport again.2:48
I had to get a new one from my embassy in Bangkok.2:50
