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.

    In Seattle there are tons of cherry blossom trees. People come from around the world to see them in bloom. Most the locals I know are like “fuckin cherry blossom petals getting on everything, making the bike lanes slick, getting all over the cars, have to clean them off everything, tourists blocking things to take pictures”

      I got the sense from being near the Hollywood sign that area residents would gladly blow it to smithereens if they could.
