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 nearly stepped on one the other day. They only really come out at night, and I was walking home across a dark park. You don’t see them very often, I think I’ve seen maybe 3-4 in my life.

    Other wild animals like squirrels are super common. I’ve also seen plenty of foxes and sometimes badgers.
