Any memory you'd like to share today? It could be that time you went to the concert to watch your favourite band and you got high on pot, or the time your little brother poured ink all down your best white dress. Faceplant tells me I have a memory today - 4 years ago I was at Ha Long Bay on a cruise.

not a memory really, but a wonder, back to when the Meeting Pot got it's start, when SkyPrincess pulled the plug - and the wonder is: what the hell happened to her?

How funny. This prompted me to look on facebook to se my memory of the day and my boyfriend when I was 16 popped up to say hello on facebook. He is 40 next week, we met on his 13th birthday ha ha. That is a trip down memory lane.

six years ago at this time of year i kept going to this agency that was doing the visa-related things for the indian embassy, trying to get a volunteer visa for a one year stay in india ... it was a bit of a frustrating experience ... in the end we went there for half a year, as tourists ...

I'm really having trouble coming up with a September memory. Oh, wait, yes:
27 years ago (1989) in about this part of September I flew to Australia with a working holiday visa and a 1 year return plane ticket. Landed in Sydney and immediately went and got a bus to Armidale, where a friend was at uni.

i was getting married to tzar & my wedding train was the transsiberian express What a wonderfully fantastic memory. I remember travelling first class on The Ghan (long distance train between Adelaide and Darwin) and long after the train trip is over, the memory remains.

if any one remembers those photo pages from ttYC - there were two of me . One with Plastic Paddy, and one standing in front a train car on the trassib. it's SO true - train journeys are usually memorable ( well not the commuter types obv ) one time in Oz my boyfriend and I were allowed to ride in the caboose up the coastal escarpment at night. sitting by the open door gazing at the stars... wow. thanks for reminding me! and playing endless games of bridge on the train across the Nullarbor.. and some memorable ones in India too!

I remember, many years ago, sailing up the east coast of Africa from Durban, through the Red Sea and the Suez canal, across the Mediterranean and then... and then... getting up a 6 one morning as we docked in Venice. Can you imagine the effect of this first sight of Europe had on me.
