    One year ago, five years ago, ten years ago...what were you doing?

    I got a reminder from Google pics that 5 years ago today I was off my tits in some bar in Manizales, Colombia, knocking shots back and speaking bad Spanish.

    That was messy.

    A year ago I was in Aarhus, Denmark, cos Flixbus had a cheap route there from Berlin, which I'd decided to take a train to from Krakow instead of flying home, and a flight back to London was only 15 Euros with Ryanair. Ended up staying sober for a few days, running around the port and in the parks....and getting absolutely trashed in some local boozer the day before my flight back.

    Oh well.

    Ten years ago I can't remember, but it would have been Malaysia somewhere.

    One year ago, I had just done a twin hike (Mt Maynoba & Mt Cayabu) in Rizal province, near Metro Manila.

    Five years ago, I had just arrived from a short trip to Puerto Galera (it was my 2nd trip there).

    Ten years ago, my father had just died (in early April). I was grieving but I also had to prepare for the US visa interview. (Davis Knowlton gave me tips.) I got a 10-year visa and then I had to prepare for the US trip. It was work-related (with a side bit of tourism) and couldn't be postponed.

    Good thread. Brought back memories.

    50 years ago, Mr Norton was probably in Vietnam, similar to Forrest Gump.
