May 1995 - Snowchaos in Sweden in May - resulting in 4 stop trip from ARN to SFO during 28 hours

July 1996 - Filling up a bus the peruvian way - leaving no feeeling of security to go with it.

November 1997 - Safari camping without the fence - with lions close by

September 2001 - First day of air travel to the US after 9/11 - spooky

December 2002 - Flying to Acapulco - in the cabin of a regular 727 flight

April 2003 - SARS in Taipei - was I affected or just a regular cold?
