Some of us really love talking about our memories, about our life. Some don't. But what part of your life or what particular experience in life do you like sharing to other people? The story that you find, you always tell to friends, newly met people and acquaintances?Even if you don't like talking about life, what it experience would you share if you're asked to?

Hi Nanayangel, I love going down Memory Lane but as far as I am concerned it stretches quite a long way. I have had a very interesting life and have many stories I can tell. If somebody is interested I can talk for ages but I try to avoid boring people by going on too long.
My favourite is talking to young children about my boyhood days before television came along. I can speak about the ice cream man, the baker and the milkman who came into our street with their vans pulled by a horse. I was sent out each day with a bucket and shovel to find horse droppings for my father's garden.
My life is an open book and anyone is welcome to read it. I have seen the world change a lot, some improvements but a lot of things have got worse.

Hi there Colmuc!My grandmother loves telling us stories about her childhood too and I love listening to her. Especially her puppy love with my grandfather, their courtship period and how they used to own many horses. Oh, I just miss talking to my grandmother about that.
I agree that alot has changed which first of all affects how families spend quality time with each other. That's actually the reason why we decided not to have internet connection at home. We have connection here in our internet cafe but not in the house so once we are in the house, we can spend quality time with the whole family.
I just realized it when Typhoon Frank hit our province and we didn't have power supply for almost a month. We went back to the basics. We bathed at the nearby seven-basin waterfall, have picnic by the river, play the guitar and sing, and I can tell that my son loved it so much.
