[05:24.76]It April 1769 they arrived at the beautiful island of Tahiti in the Pacific Ocean.

[06:21.74]Despite the history, Sydney is the most modern place in Australia.
[06:26.39]Its buildings are the highest, its fashions are the newest and its colors are the brightest.

[07:12.90]but the taxi driver, who did not recognize him, said that the could not take him anywhere at the time,

[07:22.26]Churchill was so pleased when he heard this answer that he gave the man a pound,
[07:26.87]which was worth quite a lot in those days. "All right, get in," said the driver happily,opening the door of the taxi.
