I remember breastfeeding, learning to crawl and walk

No way.

Howwww.

My earliest memory was something... I think was when I was like 3, I remember seeing photos dated 2005... (probably still in some drawers somewhere) so I was visiting Hong Kong from Guangzhou...

I think we went there to vacation(?) + meet with relatives from abroad in the US

I really only remember

  1. cable cars
  2. the hotel room that you need a special card thing to access and turn on the electricity in the room (I think it must've been some rfid thing)
  3. Double-deck buses
  4. Trolleys(?)

That's about it

I remember it kinda feel "western"? (I mean of course it felt western after 99 years of british rule lol)

I think I already knew how to say basic words in Cantonese at this point so I remember asking a question about the weird rfid hotel card thing...

But like... nah how the f do you remember breastfeeding and being a toddler?

I have zero memories of pre-speaking age of myself.

I guess having a language make it easier to form memories? Or maybe vice versa? Being able to form memories make it possible to retain a language? Idk.
