This Artist Turns Travel Culture Shock Into 37 New Comics That Are Way Too Relatable

My sister collects shot glasses, so I buy her one from wherever I go, even if I'm just switching planes at that airport.

Wow, European weeks are loooong!

Mexico is awesome. Often dangerous, but awesome.

Maybe it's because of the humidity?

I thought so when I saw the Australian with shoes

I went to a US restaurant for takeout and tipped 20% which is considered very generous here on a to go. I got home to look at my receipt, obviously expecting to pay tax but they hit me with *service charge* *auto grat @ 10%* *card fee* and *to go/ to go bag fee* I work at the restaurant nearest the restaurant I picked up food from and we dont have ANY of that (besides regular tax) people often times leave me a tip at their discretion (usually 5%-10%)but those charges...that let's you know that's greed on the business owners side. The only bit of that money (after tax) will see an employees hand in FOH or BOH is your tip.

Lmao I'll take the $25 but factually (just incase u didn't know/are curious) a generous, high end tip to any server on a $10 item would be $2. $10 item. Tax $0.60 Generous tip $2. So $10 vs $12.60

Have you ever experienced snow or fall leaves in person?!

And ALWAYS accept the card with both hands

As an uncultured American swine myself, hearing these things just blows my mind. Walk from one country to another!? I could drive for 3hrs and id still be in my same state and once I drove 4000 km to a distant one...everything practically exactly the same?! So cool!

Back in 2016, my town had a lot of political flags. I was surprised by how many people thought their neighbors needed to know their political affiliation but anyways...the house directly to our left had a democratic flag, the house directly right had a Trump flag, so we hung a Swiss flag.

As non native speaker, I get how it xan be difficult to understand.

The artist is from Singapore, and like Fran said, english (like other languages) does have homonyms. However, the Japanese pronounciation does make it sound like live (something in person), though i dont know about the Chinese pronunciation.

Im thinking they dont know there's two pronunciations for live. Theres a lot of English words like that...look the same, or very similar, sometimes mean very similar things or totally different, while some are said the same and other have diffences like bread and bred, live and l•i•ve and dinner and diner. As a native English speaker who's been speakin over 30yrs, sometimes I say a proper sentence and think *we really decided this was okay because it sounds absolutely ridiculous. I wouldnt want to learn this is adulthood* im a logical thinker...theres no logic to our language sometimes?! No that word doesn't make sense...use it anyway and pretend. Especially when you factor in our accents and dialect.

Like Englishmen? 🤔🤔🤔 You guys invade everywhere

It doesn't. Cutlery is a collective noun. I'm guessing the author isn't English.

Nolan Ryan of the Houston KissmyAstros sells grass fed beef. If you havent, read the Omnivores Dilemma

The fact that Outback Steak is Australian is the only myth here. And why were the other two replies downvoted? They are both true.

I went to an Outback steak house once, in Taiwan. It happily advertised that it used American beef. Outback steak house is very American, and there's nothing Australian about it, beyond the name.

Nah, mate. That's an American chain. We've got our own steak! If you eat there, you'll probably be getting our cast offs!

Outback steak house? They are so not known that I had to google them. lol They didn't establish their first Australian branch until 2001. I've been eating amazing steaks at my local pub for about 20 years before that! They barely exist in Australia and have little to no reputation. Australia has had a reputation for amazing steaks for many years before they entered the market.

Propelling pencil

No one uses diacretics anymore. Also Anglophones should call pens Biros because pluma means feather, and buhhuh confuses even us native English speakers. oleo suffices

Appropriate with all the Australia referefences

Oh please… 😩

Tiger Balm is just perfumed menthol. Smells nice, doesnt really work. Placebo effect
