I've no idea of your age (I'm 63) but I should imagine if we ever met up over a few drinks we'd have some great tales to tell one another.
Another memory was going ashore in either Penang or Port Kelang and taking a walk up a hill to a Buddhist Temple and seeing what I initially thought was a Swastika. I was discussing with a colleague what the odds were of coming across this on the other side of the world when a monk who obviously had a great command of English explained its true meaning and the fact it pre-dated the German version by well over a thousand years.
