@TeriMeriBaatein Wow! In America rats are associated with dirty living, sewer rats or living in fields. What does it mean if you see a white rat? Is that a good omen? I can’t imagine eating food a rat nibbled on! Different cultures are so interesting!! Thanks for sharing.
@AdrianDittmann I am an avid reader. I like science fiction. Currently reading To sleep in a sea of stars by Christopher Paolini.
Expeditionary Force by Craig Alanson is great. Bobiverse by Dennis Taylor and author AG Riddle are all good.
In 1975 when I was 15 yo, after a blue oyster cult concert my friends all took off to different stranger parties. I didn’t want to go so at 1:30 am I started hitchhiking to get home. I lived 45 minutes away in the mountains. This young man picked me up and drove me all the way home. He also chewed me out for hitchhiking at 15 years old in the middle of the night. In the middle of nowhere. I made it home safely.
