Artist Hilariously Illustrates The Differences Between Different Countries And Languages In 30 Comics
Traveling is the perfect medium for experiencing different cultures complete with all sorts of art, music, crafts, and traditions. But visiting other countries is usually not just all roses.
With cultural differences in mind, artist Malachi Ray Rempen decided to share his traveling experience and situations in the form of funny comics dubbed "Itchy Feet Comic". This weekly cartoon drawings chronicle is mostly about travel, language jokes that happen while learning, and life as an ex-pat. It's just about any bizarre situation you can imagine yourself in while traveling.
"Itchy Feet Comic deals with two very specific areas: language learning and traveling. One of the things I love about these webcomics is the minute observations on the experiences that are so universal that you cannot help but say “That is so true!” - says the artist.
So scroll the page and have a quick walk around the world with the help of these funny drawings!

Yup sounds about right. Having an american best friend is very eye-opening for both of us! They drive outside their state about once a year, out familytravels often means car and going through 7ish countries to get to our destination
I experienced similar conditions while living in Alaska. You learn to live by the clock and not the sun. In the winter, the sun was only available between about 10AM and 2PM. In summer, it didn't get dark. Instead, you would put aluminum foil over your bedroom windows to block the light.

This is one of the things I miss from home, now that I live abroad
The magical energy of summer in Iceland! <3 :D Winter - hibernation, summer - crazy action almost 24/7 xD
It's not bad at all. 24 hours light days meant: I was less tired, I ate only twice in those 24 hours, and slept between 00:00 and 04:00 , max 5 hours: but was full of energy! Sun and light really does good for the body and mind.
The whole territory of Iceland is below the Arctic circle, there are no Midnight sun or particularly long summer days and winter nights.
Er, what? Have you even been there? There most certainly is midnight sun in the middle of summer, and very few daylight hours in the darkest winter.

As someone who spent a great deal of time in Alaska, I can confirm this
Would ❤️ to know Flat Earthers explanation for this. (Pssst. They don’t have one.) 🌍🌎🌏
You get lots of things done i summer :) In winter, I just want to hibernate....
As a native French, I honestly admire people learning french : this langage is hard ! Therefore I would never make fun or faking not to understand just because is is not perfect. This comic shows a very parisian reaction you would probably not know somewhere else in France...
Americans are chronically sleep deprived. We need a constant infusion of coffee.
Translation: There's a nice cottage in the small valley just past the farm by the edge of the lake.
This is so great! The person who made these clearly knows what he's talking about. Both amusing and interesting.
True. Seems to me the author, instead of merely taking general stereotypes as the base for the jokes, they actually combine these with the jokes they probably heard the natives say themselves. I recognised many of the internal jokes for some of these.

Come to Greece! You'll have a really nice time. Bonus: Here, people will laugh when you introduce yourself :)
Maybe this is not his entire cartoon collection OR maybe still to come, EH? ;-)

These are all really insightful and all very original. Some of the best cartoons I’ve seen for ages. Loved them.
This illustrator has definitely traveled the world. I was accurate for every place that I have traveled (and very amusing)
My old German teacher who moved away had some of these comics printed out around the room and when I was reading these it made me cry because it reminded me.
Well. Some of them are unrelated, but this one kinda is, but why videos in the first place?
