Take me back to November 28th, 1997!

Let's go back in time!

The date is November 28th, 1997, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. Most people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

It is Black Friday in the United States - a day that many consider to be the start of the Christmas shopping season. It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song Candle In The Wind 1997 by Elton John is at the top of the singles charts.

Over in the UK, Perfect Day by Various Artists is the number-one hit song. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

A new form of communication called "text messaging" is starting to become more widespread. However, it can only be done if both the sender and the receiver are on the same cell network. Meanwhile, a global system called "the Internet" is also starting to take off. Each day, more and more people are learning how to send emails and browse "websites" on the World Wide Web by connecting their IBM computers to noisy dial-up modems. The CD is quickly becoming the dominant format for music, and people are buying portable players such as the "Discman". Consequently, sales of cassette tapes are continuing to decline.

In fashion, bright and metallic colors are all the rage—a big change from the darker "grunge" colors of the early 1990s. Women are wearing maxi skirts, bell bottoms, knee boots, crop tops, tube tops, slip dresses, maxi coats, and platform shoes. Meanwhile, a lot of men have ditched their grunge and skater clothes in favor of a "dress casual" look. They are also beginning to cut their hair shorter. It's 1997, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Toni Braxton, the Spice Girls, Puff Daddy, No Doubt, Hanson and Elton John. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Chris Farley, Sonny Bono, Rob Pilatus, and Frank Sinatra would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", "Friends", "Everybody Loves Raymond", and "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Wipeout 2097", "Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain", "Harvest Moon", and "GoldenEye 007". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Sister, Sister", "Dexter's Laboratory", "Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm", and "The Angry Beavers".

Popular toys at the moment include Sylvanian Families, Super Soaker (water gun), the Sega Saturn, and Bop It.
