America Smells

America has a certain smell about it that is different to Australia. I was watching a movie set in New York City (actually, it was Fight Club which is not set in New York City, but it makes no never mind) and I could just about smell what it smelt like. That was the thing that always struck me about America, it's definite smell.

Smell is evocative.

Memories are interesting, now aren't they. I can think of New York and pizza and Boston and mix-in ice cream, and Memphis and fried chicken and pumpkin pie and New Orleans and coffee and donuts and LA and sunshine and San Fransisco and homeless people, that way.
