Qualia could be any number of experiences, it is a qualia to perceive the color red, it is a qualia to perceive touch, qualia is (what I understand of it) simply what it is like to experience something, we can't describe fully what it is like to experience something. Try explaining existence to the dead, sight to the blind (from birth). That is essentially what I perceive as qualia.
