What kind of traveler are you

According to Tickle.com, Nel is a Cultural Traveler.

See the world. Meet new people. For a Cultural Traveler, traveling is an unparalleled chance to see what makes the rest of the world tick.

Curious and social, a Cultural Traveler get just as big a kick from chatting up locals as they do from visiting historic sites.

Different people, cultures, and landscapes help you appreciate what a Cultural Traveler has and also see the world from someone else's eyes.

It's a learning experience they are after, so whether they find that in museums, ruins, or local markets, they're sure to come away with a new view or idea. Take it all in!

An Aussie Ghost Story

According an Aussie friend, this story happened a while ago in Brisbane, Australia. Even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true...

John Bradford, a Sydney University student, was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a storm. The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped.

John, desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door, just to realize there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn't on! The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road and saw a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life. Then, just before he hit the curve, a hand appeared through the window and turned the wheel.

John, paralyzed with terror, watched how the hand appeared every time they came to a curve. John saw the lights of a pub down the road so, gathering strength, jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and asked for two shots of tequila. He then started telling everybody about the horrible experience he went through.

A silence enveloped everybody when they realized he was crying and wasn't drunk. About 15 minutes later, two guys walked into the same pub. They were also wet and out of breath. Looking around and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other, "Look, Bruce, it's the bloody idiot that got in the car while we were pushing it."
