awesome! I've been waiting for someone to do something like this for a loooong time... IMO - smell is probably the most important/strongest sense for recalling places and events... I could probably describe in some detail things I saw when I was in Italy, but you ask me to describe Rome's Airport, and the overwhelming memory for me is "stale cigarettes."
t.o., yes. every once in a while i will remember a smell of a place like 1/100 of a second and that will bring back and remind me all the other memory of a place. great way to travel through human memory...
