Not Jewish, but I have a nice connection to Purim. I did a 3-year hitchhiking trip around the world in my early 20s, and ended up living and working on a kibbutz in Israel for 2 months, which coincided with the Purim holiday in 1980.
Interesting historical note: it was also during the moment Israel switched from its Lira fiat to the current shekel. Everyone had a certain period of time to switch their money in the banks.
