  about being lost since you have all this good
advice?</p>
<p><strong>Greg:</strong> Well, let me think. There was one time
  I got lost in the mountains of the Golden
  Triangle in Thailand. The Golden Triangle as
  you might know is famous for a lot of drug trafficking and it's
  also a tourist spot in some areas. Some areas are very safe and
  some areas are very dangerous actually and my friend and I, we
  were hiking by ourselves in the mountains and we got lost and we
  actually wondered across the border from Thailand into Myanmar.
  And we came across this village - very, very poor village, very of
  hill tribes people and some of the people there were really
  unfriendly, they just started throwing rocks at my friends and I and
  shouting things. We couldn't talk so we just backed away, went
  back quickly up the hill and we were wondering. We didn't know
  where to go and luckily I could see in the distance, there was one
  tree that stood out because the hill had been burned but there
  was one tree that didn't get burned and I remembered that tree
  when we were coming over, so that was my landmark which
  helped me to return and I headed straight for that tree and then I
  saw the route. But now, I make it a habit when I'm going through
  trails and I'm not sure where to go, I put rocks, pile rocks on top of
  each other or I put sticks to make an arrow in the direction I want
to go.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Ah, that's pretty good.</p>
<p><strong>Greg:</strong> So I find a pile of rocks and sticks and then I return that
way.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> So, back to the hill tribe people. Why do you think that they
  were mad? Do you think they were really upset with foreigners
  coming in to their territory, like they were trying to protect their
little area?</p>
<p><strong>Greg: </strong>There could be many reasons. Maybe because there used
  to be a lot of opium being grown in that area, maybe they were
  growing opium and they didn't want anyone to see it. That's one
  thing. Maybe, just they were worried about foreigners, for some
  reason, maybe they've been treated badly before by foreigners. I
have no idea. It was pretty scary.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Yeah. Well, better rocks than bullets</p>
<p><strong>Greg:</strong> Yeah.</p></div>]]>
