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.
I have lived in Tucson, Arizona for about 5 years. I still get excited about all the little lizards and birds. And Coyotes, and bobcats. Last night I saw a toad for the first time. There is a TON of wildlife here, kind of like you hear about Australia, and it’s pretty amazing. I’m sure it’s all pretty old hat to a lot of people. I also see gorgeous mountain ranges every day, which is not something I grew up with in New York.
Oh, and there is legal weed (marijuana) every damn where. It’s fucking. Awesome. We…did not have this in NY growing up.
