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.
My head aches oh goodness. How do you pronounce that?!

English vowels: a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y. Welsh vowels: y. It's usually y.

The English introduced a vowel tax on the Welsh language in 1405 as retribution against Owain Glyndwr. And as an act of defiance, the Welsh removed them from as many words as possible.

Yes! I always felt that when naming welsh towns, they just stuck their hand in a barrel full of consonants, threw whatever letters they grabbed onto the table, and however it landed was what they called it.
Funny story: Welsh actually has MORE vowels than English: a, e, I, o, u, w, and y. :)

Ahh yes,I recognize thi place, its the the maginificent city of Romeberlinathensparis!
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
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?
