Can confirm, people here literally act like we don’t have a world known structure of tourism that is pyramids.
(I live in bosnia)
*grabs popcorn *
When I moved from the Midwest to Washington state I remember looking at the mountains from the parking lit at work and being in awe. My coworker who grew up there was just like “I guess I’m just used to it, I forget that they’re there.”
I think people can used to a lot. Even in my current city I’ve gotten used to the skyscrapers and have to remind myself to appreciate them occasionally. For reference my hometown doesn’t have a building taller than 3 stories.
I live here and my gf conplains every time we go for a walk that I don’t mention how beatuiful it is
I live here and I always use the opportunity to tell others how beautiful it is
I meam you could have used a nicer picture not taken in the winter/autumn
Oh, ain’t that Lake Bled? Been there, and it’s exciting! You can row a boat to the central island, and heights are all around, so you can always get a nice view from above!
It is Bled yes. But I’ve been living here for about 20 years and have got used to the view.
Wanna trade places for a while? I’m certainly not used to your view.
Understandable. I myself live in one of the tourist hotspots.
My condolences. One tourist hotspot resident to another.
Wanna swap for a bit? I get the nyc skyline daily. I need something different.
Nah sorry. Not a fan of big cities
Would be weird if you were surprised by the pyramids everytime you walk out the door.
And after, you miss it.
I live less than 30 miles away from 3 of the world’s most famous golf courses and I have literally zero interest in the sport. The closest one is just something I cycle through occasionally.
Where shitpost?
Is it interesting though? If you live near an object it’s literally granted to be there … so of course.
Pffft, such cute little man-made structures. Mount Fuji would like a word.
I didn’t think I missed mountains that much moving from Washington state to England, but then I took a train through France and saw one tiny hill and started crying
I try to look out the window of the train and enjoy the view of the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty each time, even though I’ve lived here several years
when I forget and realize it’s too late and the train’s already back underground I get mildly grumpy over it lol
Some might also take the pyramids for granite.
But they’re sandstone
I lived within sight of the statue of liberty. Often forgot it was there.
I lived close enough to see the Manhattan skyline everyday. Never paid attention to it. Then I would have the occasional out of town visitor and they were just in awe at the sight of it.
I like how most of turistic spots are just some big ass shit.
Pyramids; big ass pyramid
Crist Redeemer; big ass Jesus
Liberty Statue; big ass woman
Eifel Tower; big ass antena
Obligatory xkcd.
You’re not wrong, but photographs do not convey just how big ass some of this shit is and how awesome (literally) it can be to experience the scale in person. The first time I saw the Golden Gate Bridge I got it. I had never once in my life up until that point given a single solitary shit about it, but afterward… Wow. And what a monument to man’s ability to throw safety to the wind and build something fucking huge!
Felt something simmilhar seeing the open sea for the first time.
It’s like “holy shit man… I’m kinda small”
Take it for granite.
TBF, if it was natural features it might catch more stares. I’m always taken away by the valleys running through my hometown, but these pyramids look foggy and mid from the street view
