cristina: that was bad!!!!
sorry to hear...such a risk you took...considering it's a conflict area....
The Northwest Frontier region and the Hindu Kush has always been regarded as one of the most dangerous parts of the world regardless of any conflicts that may be going on at the time.
I would go back tomorrow given the chance, the risks were calculated and well worth the gamble.

If it's something that really caught my attention (and became a "favourite"), then yes... Otherwise, when I travel, I tend to memorize the feeling - atmosphere, mood, weather, music, smells.... And all of the 'historical objects' just contribute to this image.

Leana76: Yes, I do try to remember everything that I had seen and experienced on the trip. It's fun. I take pictures too, to remember these places better.
I remember the different tastes, the way I feel/felt ,,,I write songs to remember them.
