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.
The church in the town from when OP lived in the UK.
TBF it did take me a moment to parse too.
Thank you. Now that makes sense to me. And I used emu because I didn’t know NZ fauna and defaulted to AUS.

and wtf do Emu’s have to do with either the UK of NZ
In a list, after an em dash, and you’ve got four different points in time going on on two islands. It’s all technically correct, and there’s only the one way to interpret it that makes sense, but “the British town” would have improved readability.
Also, it’s a crying shame more people don’t know about NZ animals. Some of them are pretty unique.
