Re: OOC Thread One - Free Vegemite Sandwiches
My first night abroad I was 21, on holiday (inter-railing) with three friends. Ferry from Dover to Ostend, train to Brussels where I spent my first night abroad. Still the best youth hostel I stayed in by some considerable margin, even allowing for the fact its been years since I stayed in one.
One of my first memories is watching a guy run flat out down the pavement across the road and fall flat on his face, whereupon we creased up laughing. Only then did we watch him get up, and he was disabled. Laughter rarely died so quickly.
I have been to those places I mentioned, think I have a picture of the carillon at the Mont des Arts somewhere, and I really did eat those two waffles which were sickly sweet! I can recall standing on the Mont des Arts that first night and watching the sun set, it was so beautiful.
