Learning to Remember

December 15 – 5 Minutes

Imagine you will completely lose your memory of 2010 in five minutes. Set an alarm for five minutes and capture the things you most want to remember about 2010.

These fruits that grow in Jamaica remind me on little miniature brains (but they taste really good with eggs).
