Isn't it strange how little things can remind you of someone, some place or some thing? As you are flooded with vivid, brilliant and often emotional memories.
And isn't it strange how that one little trigger can mean so much to you and yet for someone else it could hold no value entirely? How one irrelevant thing can take you back to a place long forgotten.
There are a couple of things that really provoke strong memories for me. It's funny as they are usually sounds or smells, not necessarily objects or places.
For example, the smell of the shampoo and conditioner; Miracle Aussie - takes me back to my trip to Kenya. Strange for you maybe but for me, it was simply because I used it only once on that holiday.
Kasabian's last album is another, particularly their song Happiness. It reminds me of my journey around China, as I listened to it in full one day on the way back into the city of Xi'an from the surrounding foothills.
It's strange how some things will always bring back a particular memory.
To end on a cheesy note: I hope that as I go through life I can build up more memories of the fantastic experiences which I have and wish to achieve.
