The act of greeting a friend was very quick and difficult to take in everything all at once. I made sure I repeated the experience a couple of times to really make sure I had experienced greeting a friend with all my senses. I found it interesting that touch and smell were the most used senses. I think this is because smell is strongly associated with memories and can induce feelings easily because of this. Touch was a commonly used sense because this experience was very tactile as I was mostly touching. It was interesting to see that taste was not used, this seems to be a very little used sense in day to day activities if my auto-ethnographies are used as a sample.
