Even though I've traveled half way across the world, I still see familiar plants and animals on a daily basis. Of course many people keep dogs and cats as pets, but there are also many wild plants and animal equally at home here and in the US. For example, it's dandelion season right now so you see clusters of them all over the city. There are also many birds that I recognize from Minnesota. Finally, mosquitoes are as ubiquitous here as they are back home. I wonder where these species came from. Maybe they got here by themselves over many years, or maybe they were brought over by westerners. In any case it appears that some things are virtually inescapable if you don't change your latitude.
