Why do we remember 1

some nights in our lives?


Is it because we went to a beautiful place, met
interesting people, heard wonderful music, or
saw a fantastic film?
We asked people all over the world to tell us about a night
that they can never forget...

Maria Julia from Argentina


1 It was in August two years ago when I was on holiday
in Athens.

2 I wanted to see a man that I knew a little when I was at


university. He was Greek and he lived in Athens. I called
him many times, but he didn’t answer. Suddenly, on my
last night, he came to my hotel.

3 I felt embarrassed, because my clothes weren’t very


special – a green skirt and a white T-shirt and Greek
sandals – and my hair was a mess.

4 We went out and walked around the centre of Athens. We


spoke English, but he taught me some Greek words and I
taught him some Spanish.

5 It was a warm night with a beautiful full moon.

6 I got back to the hotel at 3 a.m.

7 It was a magical evening – an Argentinian woman with


a Greek man on the other side of the world in those dark
streets, with the lights from the Parthenon up on the hill!

Mehmet from Turkey 2

1 It was last year. I was in Istanbul, where I live.

2 I was with my friends. It was my best friend’s birthday.

3 I wore a black T-shirt and blue jeans.

4 We went to a great place called Cezayir. It’s an old


building with a great restaurant. We had dinner, and
after dinner we had a coffee in the bar. Then we went to
the beach at Florya and we had a swim. It was fantastic.
The water wasn’t very clean, but we didn’t mind!

5 It was a hot night and the sea was really warm.

6 After our swim, we were tired and decided to go back,


but I couldn’t find my car keys! We went back to the
beach and we looked everywhere, but it was too dark.
In the end I left the car at the beach and I went home
in my friend’s car! I got home really late, at 5.00 in
the morning.

7 It was a memorable night because we had a fantastic


dinner and swim, but also because I lost the car keys – it
was my father’s car and he was really angry!
