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!

Ah now that explains Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

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
For the USA the face needs to be inside the smartphone at a negative angle or something lol

Yes! All the tourists who come to NYC spend all of their time looking up and don’t pay any attention to where they are walking! It makes all of us native New Yorkers nuts! Especially when I’m trying to get to work and the sidewalks are crammed with people walking so slowly they could be stopped!
Here in Finland it is also a huge dog poop problem. Most dog owners just don't care and if someone complains about the dog poop they always just show other trash like cigarette butts and say that they start collecting dog poop after other people start collecting trash. Especially in the spring when the snow is melting the walking paths just smell like dog poops of the whole winter.
My mom used to tell dad off for doing the 270 in Malaysia due to uneven walking paths... "I have to see where I'm going! Do you want me to trip and fall?"
Here in Spain dog poop is really a thing. Some streets in my town are just like minefields.
of course when they say France they actually mean Paris : Top 10 Cleanest Countries In The World 2017: EPI ( environmental performance index ): 10: Singapore 9: Cuba 8: Austria 7: France 6: Costa Rica 5: Germany 4: Norway 3: Switzerland 2: Sweden 1: Iceland A stereotype is a preconceived notion, especially about a group of people. Many stereotypes are racist, sexist, or homophobic
" The only place where I've seen it as bad is The Heights section of Jersey City. At least have the dog poop by the grass. NOPE. They have their dog poop right in the middle of the sidewalk. I should start taking pictures of the huge poops I see in the Bronx. It's mountainous."
HAHAHAHA!!! Had that bloody experience in Paris of all places. I never expected it!!!
" San Francisco is declared street poop capital of America by company that has made a map of feces ⦁The Californian city was far worse than competitors New York and Chicago for both human and dog poop complaints in the past year "

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?
