Flight 3:54 PM

You know sometimes when you smell something or see something or hear something, you mind is triggered to remember a memory which is associated to that smell, sight or sound? And then you experience this surreal feeling of being at that exact place, exact time when it happened and why?
I would say the most obvious memory trigger for me is music. The most significant piece of music would be By The Way by Red Hot Chilli Peppers. When I listen to that song, I would be transported to the airplane seat of a Thai Airways airline, and I am on my way to Chiang Mai. That song never failed me.
Just 5 minutes ago, my collegues played a song by Panic! At the Disco. It was a familiar track. But just as soon as I remembered its title, I was already flying half way to Indonesia.
