Part of this group tour. And the tour guide told us to always stay with the group, not to go out on our own. But one night (coughs) I was feeling sort of adventurous. And I thought Id try to find a restaurant and eat dinner alone for a change. So I walked out of the hotel by myself. I was looking around at all the restaurants and I couldnt decide which one to go to. And this little Turkish man comes up to me and he says, My nephew has a good restaurant. Come with me. So I decided to follow him. And we went down these little streets. And back. And it was getting dark. Back alleys, and I didnt know what was going on. People were starting to stare at me. And I got really scared. And I thought, Id just better leave. So I was going to run. And then suddenly we rounded the corner and there we were at the restaurant. And it ended up being the best Turkish food I had the whole time I traveled. And ever since then, I havent been so afraid to take chances. What the heck am I? 9 Int: So, Ms. Spencer, why did you apply for this job at CNN? Amy: Well, Ive always wanted to be a journalist, and I like traveling.

Trevor: Well, when I got to the airport, I realized I didnt have my passport. Angela: Oh no. Trevor: So I called a friend. And he broke into my house. Got my passport and brought it to me. But I missed that flight so I had to stay overnight in San Francisco. Angela: Oh, thats too bad. Trevor: Yeah. So I got the flight the next day. And of course on the way we had engine trouble. So we had to stop in Mexico City. I was stuck there for another, like, 22 hours while they got the part. Angela: Oh, my gosh! Trevor: And I mean stuck. They wouldnt even let us out of the airport.

One day my boss comes up to me and says, Ive got tickets to the Lakers basketball game on Sunday. Do you wanna go? I dont know anything about basketball, but he said he wanted me to get to know the other people in the office, and I didnt want to seem rude, so I went, Sure, Ill go. It was okay, cause there were other people from the office at the game. So I didnt mind. But, the next time I see him he comes up to me and says, Wanna go to the opera next weekend? I have an extra ticket. I was like, Okay, thats kind of weird, but I thought, well, maybe this is all right. Id never been to an opera. And so we went to the opera, but it was all in Italian and it got to be really boring. But I sat through the whole show. I wanted to leave but hes my boss, so I couldnt say no. I didnt feel like I could leave. So after that, I tried to avoid him in the office and I almost make it through the week when he corners me yesterday in the breakroom. And now hes invited me to go to the ballet. I hate the ballet!
