I’ve only been abroad one time, and there were little gecko/lizard things everywhere, climbing up walls and scurrying across roads, and nobody cared. I was constantly fascinated but to the locals they’re just kinda there.

Bonus question to anyone who visited the UK - was there anything that fascinated you but I’d be taking for granted?

Pic unrelated.

    Marble is expensive in places where there isn’t already a lot of it simply because it’s HEAVY.

      But it also isn’t used in the fancy rich places simply because it’s expensive, it’s also because it’s beautiful.
