📕 Reading my own travel diary from 1992. (34 years ago! Time is the strangest thing.) (I thought I’d mislaid it over the years and was sad about that. I realised I still had it last year but it’s taken me a while to summon up the courage to actually read it.)

😬Realising I’ve simultaneously changed a lot and not changed at all.

🔍Based on a first name and one line description of a friendly person I met on a train in 1992 I managed to locate them on the internet today. They won’t remember me so I won’t contact them but I’m glad to see they look like they are still a nice guy. And the internet is still quite amazing even when it feels way past its best.
