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!

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
with sooooo many things. Water. Nail scissors. Alcohol. Tweezers. Shampoo etc.
I started losing my trust in airport security when my cuticle scissors were confiscated. Geez - those blades were just a few millimeters long! I couldn't have held a squirrel hostage with those things!

Actually last summer I was going through Austria and they let me take my razor. I thought I'd have to get rid of it but I asked just in case and they said it was allowed (in my carry-on)
Cigarettes lighter were also confiscated at on time. The shops sell used lighters I am sure....
I totally forgot I had a folding knife in my bag, I saw it after my arrival... well airport security found nothing and it wasn't a small one...
Man I remember when I was just a little kid well over a decade ago I bought a Swiss army knife at the airport
Liquid explosives exists. That's why they don't allow liquid.

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.

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?
