1. Standing with a handsome Venetian watching Winter being burned in effigy on the canal, with the natives singing in dialect about fish soup
2. Hearing a nightingale for the first time in the cemetary at San Miniato in Florence, then seeing the Duomo across the Arno, and weeping with sheer joy
3. Having my portrait taken when I was five - lots of attention all day!
4. Diving the Great Barrier Reef and meeting both Wally and "Nemo" in the space of 10 minutes
5. Hearing Fijians sing at a Sunday church service
