Haha, that's why I tried to tame my expectiations in advance. It's always better to be surprised in a positive way than to be disappointed about something one was looking forward to for a long time.

Oh yes, another go at memorable things would be great. I'd even love to have something like Sherlock's mind palace where every memory, impression and feeling is stored away for later use. Though I assume it's quite addictive and one could easily spend days on end in such a place...

You go and convice the bf! I know it's not easy to shift so many people from their home countries into places with other climate, religion, social and economic backgrounds, but to not help and let them all rot and die isn't an option either.
