Ok, that is a fun one! 🤣

Showing that it is indeed possible for many different nations to cooperate for the good.

In Portugal there´s a popular saying that goes " Todas as estradas vão dar a Roma" (every road leads to rome)) which is used to say that no matter wtv you do, you´ll end up in the same place. The roots of that popular proverb (?) are from this time.

That was one hell of a kidney stone Geoff passed.

ok ok that made me laugh

I remember doing Technical Drawing in high school, such a lost art now.

New York isn't that cold!

Finland has no special irritating sentence. It’s the intention of speaking to us that does the trick.

Aargh! Giant elephant!

Come on guys, only 22 left, we can do it! Lets be the first to complete the whole set!

I wish there was a key to see how many people each height equates to

Or go away from Rome.

This is really lovely. Too bad their habitat is being destroyed daily.

are the wolves yellow or green?

Big Sim City players there.

I feel like that would make for one hell of a coach/train journey.

but yet the standard of living is lower in the US. I woudl rather have lower income than go bankrupt after a cancer diagnosis or be one of the 56% of homeless people who have full time jobs. -American living abroad

If you are born in France and live there until 18, you are automatically French.

My daughter was born in New Zealand and is a citizen of New Zealand. Parents both British. So this one is wrong.

In Germany it is both. if both of your parents are non-German citizens, you will still have the German citizenship being born here. Not sure if this requires a "legal" status of residence of the parents...

This one is wrong. There is no rule of blood in France and I guess it's not the only mistake here.

I was born of Dutch father, & 2nd generation Dutch mother (her parents were Dutch), in South Africa, automatically became South African.

My brother was born in Namibia, so he is technically considered to be Namibian, while the rest of us are all South African. Pretty neat!

Really sucks when you are born in one country but have lived elsewhere your entire life and neither will provide documentation. Persona non grata...

My boyfriend was born in South Africa to British parents and got dual nationality when they came back to the UK

This sounds very metal.

If you are born in San Francisco to four Dutch grandparents, a Dutch father and a Dutch/American mother, you are both Dutch and American citizens and do not have to choose. I still don’t get how this works.

I did not know. I am a bit flabberghasted.

Imagine how much more habitable Australia would become if we did this. #MovetheMed.

Not true! In today Romania was the Dacian language, which was Not Slavic and then it was combined with Latin -> Romanian language. It is a big part of the Eastern Europe!

I like this, I want this as a poster.

Give me a word, any word, and I show you that the root of that word is Greek. -Gus Portokalos

Orhan Pamuk ❤❤❤

This isn't the middle east though, this is east mediterranean

This is country perspective based. Didn't see squat about western tragedies or news when living in China, found out about them from western sources. My relatives in Malaysia don't hear any either unless we tell them; get lots of "omg world is inbdanger!" stuff when it's in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, India, China, Thailand, or Vietnam though. Lots about coups and stuff in Thailand and Myanmar get reported there as terrible for the world.

Why isn’t russia included.

Walk it? Think I'd be tempted to thumb a lift, at least part of the way.

So everyone went to pretty much the same places? (Except looks like the Dutch weren't that much interested in North America)

In Czechia, trdlo is just a tourist thing that became popular only very recently. A more traditional dessert would be kolache

Canada was like “nope” to the US

74% for Sweden ^^

What is the logic of covering minority languages in some places but not in others?

this omits, centers of learning that spread trough middle and east Asia, places like the "house of wisdom" in Bagdad, or the centers of study in India By the 900s. of course they are not exactly universities, but very close...by the way, more literature was lost when the Mongols burned Bagdad, that when the library of Alexandria was destroyed

I love the basques. Eveybody is like "Jon, juan, ioan, Jean" and they are like "Ganiz" xD You guys are the best

Mmm it's not really a radius like that. It's more about the countries: Spain and France would be considered good, Greece and Portugal ok, Austria and Germany: potatoes, the rest: not good for consumption. (Obviously joking, guys)
