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.
Winter. I guess it's different when you only put up with the endless darkness, cold and snow a week once in your life.
I'm originally from Florida and I moved to Minnesota as an adult. It blew my mind when I realized it was colder outside than it was in my freezer. I was in college my first few winters up here and the first good snowfall a group of freshmen from more tropical climates (mostly southern China) wandered outside in awe to play in the snow and even after my first winter I usually joined them because I know when winter stops being magical it starts being miserable and I'd like to put off the misery until February or so.
I don't think I've ever been tired of winter, and I've lived in Ohio most of my life. That said I've never lived somewhere that gets enough snow that it starts crushing the things from the weight of it.
Summer? I'm sick of summer halfway through Spring.
Perth just had is coldest maximum temperature in 50 years: 11.4°C
