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.

    It’s a shame things that are exciting as kids become scary as adults, even when they don’t need to be. Sure, there can be risks, but we tend to over-exagerate them when we are unfamiliar.

    My issue is heights. But only sometimes. Brains are wierd.
