Here's an awesome video from Lonely Planet,  with  subtitles in English. It's about a cycling trip that starts at the  Mount  Everest  North Base Camp in Tibet, China; and ends in Kathmandu, Nepal.

This is also a great video on a cycling trip in Ecuador, South America. There are no English subtitles.

Here's an article from MSNBC about teenage health problems in the United States. There's video that you can launch from the web page, and listen to.

Tyra Banka, who has done a survey on the problem, blames the parents for not discussing sexual issues with their kids.

 Survey: Unprotected sex common among teens

On average, girls lose virginity at 15; some are having sex at school  More than 10,000 teenage girls and young women took part in an anonymous survey over the summer on TyraShow.com, the Web site of “The Tyra Banks Show.” Survey questions focused on sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancy, as well as drinking, drugs and violence among females. Here are some findings from the survey:

·    On average, girls are losing their virginity at 15 years of age.

·    14 percent of teens who are having sex say they’re doing it at school.

·    52 percent of survey respondents say they do not use protection when having sex.

·    One in three says she fears having a sexually transmitted disease.

·    24 percent of teens with STDs say they still have unprotected sex.

·    One in five girls says she wants to be a teen mom.

·    About 50 percent acknowledge that they’ve hit someone.

·    One out of three teens has tried drugs.
