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.

    Well, it wasn’t so much the legalities, I just saw a gaggle of tourists waiting on the platform with huge anticipation for the metro to pull into the station, like they’ve never seen a train or a tunnel. Yet, if I may use my racism for good, they seemed to be from a far away land, so they flew here, how many pictures did they take of the flying train?

    It just seemed out of proportion to the banality of a mundane situation, and they were snapping away, and I do not want to be immortalized as a sad, fat middle-aged man, where were these people when I was 25 and a movie star?
