24 Funny Illustrations That Show The Cultural Differences Between The East And The West Made By This Artist

Meanwhile in China: "Sorry, you're just not tall enough to get promoted "

Yeah Germany is eco-friendly

As a german I can deeply relate. Whats the thing about Smalltalk or talking around the bush in soooo many countries? If you have to say something then do it and not let me guess what you really mean.......why wasting time? *sight*

The Chinese line look like the line in my former school cafeteria

Oh I want to be like Germany but am China

I don't like to admit it but I am like China

Why am I so much like China

I like the German one. Pictures aren't the same as seeing it

Isn't that a cliché? In times of smartphones, I'm really amazed what and how much is photographed. (Edit: I'm from Germany)

I'm a combo. I love to see my surroundings and take a few poignant photos.

I take photos to remember what I have seen, but it's good to put away your phone and immerse yourself in the experience.

I definitely don't take enough pictures, I like to enjoy the moment but then later regret not having anything to look back on.

It is possible to look AND take pictures, as someone with an awful memory I need to take pictures so I can bring the memories back.

facts, every trip is like 100 photos

I always want to take pictures, but forget to.

I'd like to see a supplemental panel on how local populations view tourists from Germany and China. My initial guess would be the two images would be remarkably similar with neither being pleasant. Of course, the one for Americans would probably be so bad that it wouldn't be fit for publication...

I'm the German one purely because I'm too lazy to take photos

This is sad but true.

My mom is the east one, my dad is the west one. WHAT AM I

I call BS

So true,

cameras mean no one else can see.

In Bahlingen Germany,I recall a pork chops with potatoes and greens, and a regular American breakfast

Yep. Just the high prices that makes the East packing their devices to store wonderful memories of snow.... (Because they don't have much snow)

Absolute crockery, have you seen the number of Instagram model wannabes running around Asia from The US/EU???????

Never understood why people would rather film or selfish instead of looking with their own eyes.

I doubt this is true. My observation is nowadays EVERYONE is taking photos with their cellphones instead of actually just experiencing the event.

When are people are supposed to start doing this!?!

Not long ago I went to the Grand Canyon. My God that place is unbelievable. The scale of it, just something about it is just completely brain melting. Your brain just refuses to believe that it's seeing what it's seeing. Photos don't do it justice. They can't. It's unreal. Honestly the same can be said of any of the biggest US National Parks.

Totally German on this. I can always find a much better picture or video online than I can take with my phone.

In percentage might be true, depends on generation too

This is very ironic

*noise level everywhere in China. Chinese cities are full of sounds coming out of absolutely everywhere.

Doggio is better 100%

But rain is pretty

People, this isn't saying that Chinese have low self-esteem or don't value themselves. It's comparing the individualism of the West to the collective mindset of the East. To a westerner the self is the primary consideration; in the east the self is a small part of the wider community

I mean the Chinese one is not wrong. Saying as someone who lived in Germany

I'm one of the little lonely dots on the German side. I would say I wish I lived on the circle side, but I would probably get overwhelmed by my nearest dots and try to leave early.

So, Chinese children murder their family members?

More variety in Germany? Oh no, I get it. Cold and hot meals. Ok.

I wonder if the one on the left is really accurate?

"Beim Bauchschmerzen": actually it´s "Bei".... sorry

Crowds suck

So basically "disappoint your family in any way and be disowned" in China. No real chance to develop your own genuine personality in a world like that

Is this to do with skin colour or tone? Germans prefer darker skin and Chinese prefer lighter skin tones? If it is not, I don’t get it.

i take one at both times lol

I don't understand this one
