The stupid education system around here that thinks it's okay to not start teaching kids a foreign language until they're 12, and then not even require that they take one in high school. You learn languages best when you're young and 12 is really much later than schools should start teaching them. I keep thinking how good I could be at French by now if I'd had it since elementary school.

Cameras that don't have flashes. There's almost no point in having a camera at all if it only works outside in sunny weather.
