LIFE EXPERIENCES

Diana: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Diana Funtana, and welcome to Life Experiences. Tonight, my special guest is a television news reporter and world-traveller Adie Ventura. Welcome to the show.

Adie: Thanks, Diana, for inviting me.

Diana: So Adie, you’ve travelled around the world many times and many different ways.

Adie: Yes, that’s right. I’ve travelled by car, plane, bus and train. I’ve sailed on ships. I’ve ridden motorcycles, horses, donkeys and even an elephant. I’ve also flown over the Alps in a hot-air balloon.

Diana: A hot-air balloon! Really! What was that like?

Adie: It was awesome!

Diana: What’s the most interesting place you’ve been to?

Adie: Well, I’d say the most fascinating place I’ve ever been in the Himalayas.

Diana: The Himalayas! Have you ever climbed Mount Everest?

Adie: Oh, of course. I’ve climbed Mount Everest twice.

Diana: Wow! What was it like?

Adie: Well, it was very cold and very high!

Diana: I can imagine. What famous cities have you visited?

Adie: Oh, well, I’ve visited Venice, Vienna, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Beijing, Moscow, Sydney …

Diana: I see. I bet you’ve eaten lots of interesting foods on your travels. What’s the most unusual food you’ve ever eaten?

Adie: Well, I’ve eaten snakes, frog’s legs, live fish, alligator burgers, but I have to say that the strangest thing I’ve ever had was shark soup.

Diana: Shark soup?

Adie: Yes. It is made from sharks.

Diana: Adie, oh sorry, but we’re almost out of time, and I have one last question. It sounds to me like you’ve done and seen everything. What’s next?

Adie: Well, Diana, I’ve never been to another planet.

Diana: You mean, you want to travel into outer space?

Adie: I want to go to Mars, and I can’t wait.

Diana: Well, all I can say is happy travels, Adie.

Adie: Well, thank you, Diana!

Diana: So, this is Diana Funtana, and that was Life Experiences. Good night, and good experiences. See you again tomorrow.
