 | I really like doing them, but they rarely happen in my life. Oh I don't even drive, I just enjoy riding along
 listening to music or talking. Just floating along with
 landscapes, soundscapes, and emotions.
 
 anyway.
 what nice stories you have to share on the subject? what's
 your favourite roadtrip?

 | last friday night when i was driving the 3 hour journey back from london my friend wendy was drifting off to sleep - she
 woke up with a shot and said "shit man, i'll have to stay
 awake for you". 3 minutes later she was asleep - bearing in
 mind we were still in london. she woke up just as we were
 coming to her road and she was like "fuuuuuuuuuck. what's
 going on?" that was pretty funny!
 
 also the week before that, we went out on a roatrip from
 reykjavik in iceland to some breathtaking waterfalls,
 driving through the mountains, past glaciers and steam
 coming out the ground and passing through tiny towns was so
 different to in england. that was a damn cool day.

 | Okay.. why not. When I went to Vancouver with my boyfriend.. after a 16 hour drive (including stops) we went to the
 Safeway there... to use the washroom real quick.. and there
 was these huge bullfrogs in this tank , all piled on top of
 each other, some dead from being suffercated.. and they were
 selling them for people to eat.. but they were all dieing
 and suffering... there were soo many strange creates in the
 seafood section of that Safeway. I wanted to smack the
 owners.

 | my parents came to visit me up in scotland a couple of weekends ago. we hired a car and drove in to the highlands.
 saw some amazing scenery, didnt expect anything like that in
 the uk at all. found a couple of real nice spots with clear
 streams and waterfalls and mountains, great weekend.

 roadtrips for me, are always getting to a destination, which
 will suck. Like having to move, or visiting relatives. Its
 never anything fun.

 | ah. that sounds lovely. I like spending time with my folks. I like just being around them, and we don't talk, or just do
 smalltalking. we enjoy the silence, but most of all the
 presence.
 And then we can discuss great topics... but we rarely do
 roadtrips, it was more a thing we used to do when I was
 younger (lived at home).

 | I don't mind doing things sober/free from drugs. I can get caught up in all of thoose beautiful moments, and
 feel great - it's such a greet feeling cause your mind is
 free and you still feel these real strong emotions...
 I can just ride along with time and space,
 and do that quite ofthen. feels great. comfortable,
 relaxing. groove.

 | I had a funny road trip to Cornwall one summer. Three of us drove down (from Suffolk, nr London) in this fucked Ford
 camper van kinda thing. It cost my mate £50 so you can
 probably guess it was pretty "special". In a reasonably
 quick car you can do it in 4-5 hrs, it took us 13!! I was
 fine as I was chillin in the back getting stoned, my mate
 who was driving wasnt so happy though. Had a real good few
 days down there driving around. Went to Porthtowan, where i
 later found out the photos for Surfing on Sine Waves were
 taken. We had a spliff or 3 in the cave where i think the
 front cover picture was taken.
 
 Good times.

 | well, what I consider a "memory for life" is a tangible memory, a memory that's there with you all the time...
 
 Like I can remember some things from when I was real young,
 like 5-6 years old, but only when something happends that
 makes me think of that.
 A memory for life is so tangible, it sortof appears ofthen,
 maybe at that very season (which comes every year of
 course), so through time: it becomes a part of you. a memory
 for life.

 __________________________________
 
 so very true.
 
 well, I am from madrid, if I go to another place to know it,
 on vacation... I can be considered a tourist.
 
 tourism is not restricted to foreign countries I guess.
 
 as for being robbed:
 well in the south of spain its easy if you are not careful
 enough... and we werent that time.

 | back to roadtrips: 
 went to italy for a month in 1996
 we had a house rented in rome for the month but we travelled
 all around italy during that month by train... it was a
 great trip (rome, firenze, venice, napoli, capri, sienna...)

 | I enjoy walking to.. long distances... you can do that with music to.
 but the difference (comparing to roadtrips) is that you're
 laidback on roadtrips (I am never the driver).
 you just sit back and enjoy the ride.
 things can be really beautiful on roadtrips, and they can be
 done just for the ride sometimes.
 Most trips are good for some things.

 | sounds like a great trip! Trains are great. The pro with car is that you can play music, and trains
 aren't that loud.
 But trains are more social, and you can see the country from
 another view...
 and nobody needs to drive, so drugs n alcohol can be all in
 your blood - if that's what you feel like.

 | I remember me and 2 friends went to Göteborg (Gothenburg) for a rave, and we took the train from Skövde (I think it's
 a 2-hour trip)... we did some drinking on the train, and ate
 some snacks and fruit. and it was quite nice.
 though it was kinda scary, cause this was a private rave
 (they wanted to keep the police out) and on the train I
 remember that I was not sure what date the rave was, so I
 was really unsure of if we had missed it or not!
 Luckily we hadn't, and it was quite a nice rave... I passed
 out in the bar and some very nice attrictive girl woke me
 up, and together with that music I felt like I was in heaven
 for a brief moment.
