Now that I have your attention...hehehe
Couldn't figure out why I was thinking of Bali so much lately - and then it struck me. My workplace now has very fruity orange-scented handwash in the staff toilets (instead of the generic un-scented white stuff they had for years). Every time I wash my hands I am getting a flashback to all the orange and strawberry scented dispensers over there.
The same thing happens any time I go past the incense aisle in the $2 shops, or see frangipani flowers, or Buddha statues or heads.
A few months ago I was walking along the side of a busy road and must have passed a leaking sewer pipe because the combination of traffic fumes, noise, and a whiff of eau-de-poo transported me back to Bali in an instant.
What 'sense triggers' take you back?
