Todd: OK, now Keren, Hello.


Keren: Hello.


Todd: I thought we would talk about travelling. Now you've travelled to many places, many continents 1.


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 2 place which is... the land is very barren 3 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 4 and while I was there I went to Machu Picchu.


Todd: Machu Picchu. What is Machu Picchu?


Keren: Machu Picchu is an ancient ruin 5 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 6 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?
