The expression “not much to choose between them” is used to compare two or more things when there is little difference in the quality of the items being compared. The items are nearly equal.

You can use “not much” or “not a lot” and substitute “tell” for “choose” when using this expression.

There is not much/a lot to choose/tell between them.

It is a little unusual, but not wrong, to drop the “not” and reverse the meaning. Most people would understand you if you said “there is a lot to choose between them” when you mean say that the things that you are comparing are very different.

The road is often used in English to mean a journey. The journey doesn’t have to be a physical one either.

My previous post, titled Beginnings, has several examples of the road being used as a metaphor for learning. Learning is a lot like a journey because they both have a start, an end, and can take a long time. In that post I use road both generally to represent any task that has a beginning, and specifically to represent the task of writing a blog.
