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.

    To answer OP’s question, I’m American but spent a few years in the UK. Things that fascinated me included:

    • How green it is (being from Texas this was the first thing that stood out to me)
    • The shear amount of history that is just everywhere (I remember eat lunch at a park and reading a sign about how it was the site of a huge battle during the war of the roses)
    • Pubs (man I miss going to my local. We really don’t have 3rd places in the US anymore)
