V:              There are so many amazing places to see around the world. Here are some of your favourites.

              Welcome to Bangkok! With over 6 million people, it’s big, it’s busy and you love it! It’s very good for shopping and the nightlife is great, too.

M:               It’s got lots of clubs, bars, shops, food … Everything you need, really.

V:               There are 400 temples in Bangkok, so Bangkok is an important place for Buddhists around the world, and tourists love to visit the temples, too.

You also love the Masai Mara in Kenya. It’s a fantastic place to watch animals: zebras, elephants, antelope, hippos and lions. You can see them all. So, why is it so special?

JL:              Huge open spaces, fantastic animals, just wide open freedom, warmth, friendliness, and all underneath the great African sky.

V:               Now a popular, romantic city … the city of lights, Paris.

W1:               To me, Paris is elegant, romantic and expensive.

W2:               Go in the spring and enjoy the art galleries.

V:               And enjoy the views of the city from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

              Back to Africa now, South Africa. Yes, it’s Cape Town. And behind Cape Town is the 1,000 metre high Table Mountain, with its fantastic views.

EH:               Cape Town is one of my top three places on Earth.

W3:               Friendly people, loads of beaches, and the food is unbelievably cheap.

M1:               We went there over New Year and it was lovely. I mean, just a lovely, lovely place.

EH:               Great place, Cape Town.

V:               You love the mountains and beaches that make Cape Town so special. And these little guys – the penguins.

This is the big moment: the number one place to see before you die. Your favourite is … the Grand Canyon! The Grand Canyon is an amazing place. You can read about the Grand Canyon and you can look at photographs and videos, but nothing can prepare you for the real thing.

AF:               There is so much to see that you never stop seeing something new.

JP:               The colours are just so … amazing.

MJ:              With every changing inch of the sunset, the colours in the canyon change.

LS:               I remember actually sitting there … and I just cried.

V:               But there’s only one word that everyone says when they talk about the Grand Canyon:

Vs:              It really is awesome … Just completely awesome … Awesome … ‘Awesome’ is the word … It was awesome … Awesome … Awesome … ‘Awesome’’s the only word … Truly awesome.
