What was your best memory in a foreign city and why was it so memorable?
–Yahoo! UK & Ireland Answers team

It’s August and whether you are planning a holiday to some great, exotic locale or are just back from one, Answers is the place to celebrate your holiday! This month, we are doing a special initiative in the Travel category where we invite you to share your fondest memories of landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes and skyscapes through your travel stories and anecdotes.

Spread over four weeks, with each week catering to one particular theme, this initiative will showcase the best holiday destinations and the most amazing travel stories that come from you! So start working on that travelogue of yours and include details like places to stay, things to see, best shopping deals and the like. And don’t forget to tell us why it is among your favorite holiday destinations! We’ll be awarding 50 bonus points for the best story each week.

Not only that, we invite you to share your favorite photograph of the vacation on one of these Flickr groups:
