50 Fun And Informative Charts About Parts Of The World You May Not Have Known Yet
“What a wonderful world,” sang Louis Armstrong once upon a time. And we at Bored Panda couldn't agree more. With 195 countries, there’s no shortage of places to explore. It’s truly amazing how one part of the world is totally different to another. That’s one of the wonders of traveling. You get to explore different languages, cultures, currencies and culinary delights. What you eat in Asia might not be the same as the meal you make in Antarctica. What you wear in Wales won’t necessarily be the same as your outfit in Western Sahara.
If you have a serious case of wanderlust but can’t hop on a plane just yet. Don’t stress. Bored Panda has compiled a list of the coolest charts that show incredible contrasts from places around the world. Keep scrolling to satisfy your worldly curiosities. And read about some of the history of world travel.

Countries With The Most Expensive Healthcare
Socks Thecate 2 years ago
One thing I didn't realize until I heard a Kamala Harris stump speech was that the Biden admin finally gave Medicare the ability to negotiate d**g prices. However, that's one domino down in a line of money grubbing healthcare issues.

Yogurts Of The World
Huddo's sister 2 years ago
I love what we call 'natural' yoghurt in Australia. It is closer to the consistency of Greek yoghurt (which we also eat a lot of here) but doesn't have as much fat. Australian yoghurt is nice, but very sweet. I am pleased that there is at least one brand that does lactose free and Greek yoghurts here too.

Legal Drinking Age In Europe
Donkeywheel 2 years ago (edited)
Not true, surely made by an American as they are so obsessed with drinking age. These are mainly the legal ages to BUY alcohol by yourself, not to drink it. You can legally drink alcohol younger, even in public, as long as it was bought by an adult. Parents sharing wine with their teenagers at a restaurant is very very common and completely legal.

Don't expect to experience a futuristic country when visiting germany though. So much stuff has to be printed on paper or paid cash. I think those numbers are mostly because of replacing factory workers?
