Where and how was your most memorable vacation?

Amin Khan: I distinctly remember a tour to Scotland. We decided to go up a two-storied house with a wooden exterior. There was just one manger in the hotel and no mobile network within a 50-kilometre radius. When we were getting to the first floor there was a frightening sound like out of a horror movie. No wonder, we spent a sleepless night, but in the morning we looked through the window and saw a stream, which was really a mind-blowing sight.
