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 had to be the only person in Central Park in NYC excitedly taking photos of squirrels when I was there. They were everywhere.

      Even though I’ve seen plenty of squirrels before I still get excited when I see one, and seeing so many at once is fascinating every time.

      I snapped a pick of one sitting upright holding a big nut in his tiny hands, and only after showing multiple people “this cute squirrel with his nut”, did I notice that he was proudly displaying a prominent ballsack, at least a third of this fuckers visible body was just…his nuts.
