I will be the first to admit that I have seen some cool stuff over the last 6 months. What I have noticed when trying to remember what I have done or seen, is that it is always easier to remember the people I experienced it with rather than the experience itself. A friend's laugh or that stupid thing they said or did whilst in that museum etc, they're the things that at the end of the day we all remember.
For example, I have known what the Eiffel Tower looks like since the days when Looney Toons were compulsory viewing, I never really had to go see it to see what it looks like to "see it". My memories of the Eiffel Tower involve a group of us standing beneath it on a cold February morning, laughing and throwing the "penguins unite" call around.
My memories of Switzerland don't really involve a watch or an army-knife, rather a 2 hour long snowball fight and a kings trip to Geneva that still makes me smile. With Berlin, I think about an "unnamed" persons cough, as well as waking with 6 people in the one bed and a few others on the floor after a night of partying.
Venice is known for its canals, but I will forever think of Bryan and how he scared the crap out of random people in his Carnivale get-up. Vienna takes me back to the Ikea store, and getting lost in it whilst trying to find an alarm clock.
I could go on for a while mentioning things, but for those who were with me, here are some photos of you that will hopefully ignite that little memory flame - everyone knows what I'm talking about though right.......................riiiiiigggghhhhhtt?
The song below and it's video shows a massive group, all cheery, thats how we rolled ha.
