Unusual journeys

Two follow-up videos for 2AB/Straightforward Intermediate Unit 2.



Apparently, this somewhat controversial video has not been accepted among some Slovaks with great enthusiasm (see - or rather not - the steamed comments on youtube :) ). The author, Michael Palin, is an excellent British comedian and writer known for his rude humour, so consider this and be merciful to him :)

Having talked about unusual journeys and giving up your job to do something more exciting, here is Matt Harding's story in Slovak, video included. Via gobl.blog.sme.sk  Absolutely gripping.
