Great Places

Keren talks about some of the interesting places she has visited in the world.

 

Todd: OK, now Keren, Hello.

Keren: Hello.

Todd: I thought we would talk about travelling. Now you've travelled to many places, many continents.

Keren: Yes.

Todd: Can you talk about some of the places you've been to.

Keren: Yes. First of all, I spent about four and a half months in Australia. I suppose the most amazing place I went to there was Uluru.

Todd: Uluru.

Keren: Ayers Rock. And it's just an incredible place which is... the land is very barren and very red and the sky is very blue and it's just beautiful.

Todd: Wow, And what's it called again?

Keren: Uluru.

Todd: Uluru. OK, besides there, anywhere else?

Keren: I've also been to South America. I spent a year in Peru and while I was there I went to Machu Picchu.

Todd: Machu Picchu. What is Machu Picchu?

Keren: Machu Picchu is an ancient ruin of an old Inca town.

Todd: Do you know how old it is?

Keren: Probably about seven hundred, eight hundred years old, I think. It's not actually that old.

Todd: Oh, really.

Keren: Really.

Todd: Huh! That's interesting.

Keren: Yeah.

Todd: OK, any other places?

Keren: I spent quite a lot of time in Spain and the most interesting place I went there was Granada.

Todd: Granada.

Keren: Yeah.

Todd: OK, what's in Granada?

Keren: The Alhambra which is the old Muslim capitol of Spain. And it's an amazing old town with Muslim palaces.

Todd: And there is just one palace or is there many, many palaces?

Keren: There is many, many ruins and there's a lot to do. You can spend the whole day there walking around the different old buildings that were built in different times.

Todd: Very cool. So, you've seen something in Australia, in South America, in Europe, how about Asia?

Keren: Asia. I've been to Japan and Thailand and Malaysia and Singapore.

Todd: And what is you favorite place in Asia?

Keren: Hm. It's a difficult question. I liked Hokkaido.
