A Dream Job
Michael Palin has travelled all over the world several times but he has lived in the same house in London since 1968. Some of you might remember him from the Monty Python films, but in 1989, Michael started doing TV travel programmes for the BBC. He’s now more famous for his travel books and DVDs than his acting. His first series Around the World in 80 days followed the same route as the Jules Verne novel of the same name. And like Phileas Fogg, the hero of the book, Michael didn’t get on a plane.
His programmes have taken Michael from the North to the South Pole, around the Pacific Ocean, across the Sahara desert, up into the Himalayas and through Eastern Europe. He’s had breakfast in Alaska, Sunday lunch at 5000 metres on Mount Everest, and slept in a tent in Antarctica. He’s met the Dalai Lama in India, done Tai Chi in Shanghai and driven one of the last steam trains in Poland.
It’s hard to believe that Michael Palin hasn’t been everywhere, but there are still places he’d like to visit: Syria, Georgia, Brazil, Argentina – the list goes on. He hasn’t got any plans for another TV series at the moment – but I’m sure it won’t be long before he’s off on his travels again.

My favorite place is Hong Kong. I love it. It’s so beautiful – it’s on the ocean, with mountains all around and it’s full of stores, restaurants, and high buildings. Hong Kong never sleeps – it’s always busy and always crowded. Some people don’t like that but I do. It means you can always do things and meet people. And on weekends you can go to the mountains and visit the country parks or the beaches on the small islands. Hong Kong is great – a big, fast city and lovely, quiet countryside … but it’s very, very hot.

The place I like most is New Zealand – it really is beautiful. It’s very green, has lots of mountains and snow and beaches, and the weather is good too. The people are friendly and the country isn’t crowded. That’s what I like – lots of big, empty spaces. You can eat well in New Zealand too – lots of fish and meat. And there’s so much to do there. You can go sailing, hiking, skiing, surfing, swimming – all in one day if you want! And the wild animals are fantastic, especially the sea animals like the whales.

My favorite place? I don’t know. I like lots of things in lots of places. There are the waterfalls in Zimbabwe – Victoria Falls. They’re really spectacular. Then I love the Taj Mahal in India because it’s so beautiful and so romantic. I like Bangkok too because I love shopping in all its markets and it’s a big, busy city, and I love eating there too. Thai food is so good. And Egypt with all its fabulous monuments. No, I don’t have a favorite place. I want to travel until I’ve seen all the countries in the world!

Nicholas
I know the place that I like best – it’s where I live. It isn’t beautiful, it isn’t exciting, there aren’t lots of things to do, there aren’t lots of monuments to look at, but I know it and I know lots of the people. I know where I can go to meet my friends, where the best stores are, what time the movies start, where all my friends live. This is very boring, I know, but that’s fine. The place I like best is my home town. I like traveling but I always want to come back here.
