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.

    “All highways are called autobahns”

    Does Germany not distinguish between highway and freeway?

    In Australia a highway has traffic lights while a freeway does not.

      Hrm, I wasn’t aware of that difference. In Germany, the “fastest” roads are called “Autobahn”, and they have no speed limit by default, and have no traffic lights. The next level down are called “Bundesstraße”: they have a default speed limit of 100 km/h, and sometimes run through towns (lower speed limit), and sometimes have only one lane in each direction.
