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.

    Climate stuff comes to mind. Big storms, it being sunny almost all the time, and -30C. There’s other climates that are similar, of course, but I guess most people don’t live in them, because visitors remark on it. Europeans tend to be gobsmacked by the amount of empty space there is between human structures, too.

    A lot of pests people think are everywhere are just nowhere to be seen because of the cold. That’s more something that’s missing, though.

    Free healthcare and French labeling, for the Americans. I’m not sure if they think the money is cool or just stupid.
