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.
Having young men and some women ride public transport in full military get up including their military gun.
I’ve often overheard tourists talking about them with respect or feeling alarmed something crazy is going on. The funniest one, was an older American tourist asking them for directions and talking very, very, very respectfull to them. The scene was just to comical seeing a bunch of boomers being so respectfull towards 18 years olds.
Meanwhile for us here it’s the most normal thing in the world to see a bunch of recruits going home from training or going to their base by train. If anyone feels anything towards them, it’s pity. Because most of them are just there because they have to and not because they want to.
