When travelling, often people visit local art galleries and museums to understand and appreciate local culture and art. Art is so different across the world; yet one thing people all around the globe is the appreciation of beautiful things. Travel isn't all beauty and simplicity, however. One of the biggest struggles people have when on holiday is trying to communicate in another language. Language barriers are a difficult part of travelling, especially when there are cultural differences to be taken into consideration.

Malachi Ray Rempen is an artist. Rempen draws comics based on their experiences while travelling around the world. The comics tend to focus on two things: language and culture.

I don't know how people cope with so few daylight hours

This is so wild to me

Things Americans don't realise aren't normal

From ALL of the sunlight hours to NONE of them

The difference in common noises

I hope there's a phonetic pronunciation underneath

Italian portion sizes are practically from another planet

I never manage to get everything back in so easily

Unsure why this is a crime

The difference in notions of personal space across countries

:)

It looks so happy

Scottish-English is a whole other language

TRUE

Watch out

I bet this map would be accurate in at least 50% of towns

Yet everyone still stares around awkwardly while they sing because no one knows what to do

The linguistic struggles of being Asian-American

Landscape differences

The struggles of only learning common phrases from the guidebook

You could stick any town name on this and it'd be accurate (probably)

This is way too real

As an Australian I'm here to tell you that coffee is horrific everywhere except in Australia

Flawed logic

This unique way to remember the different Asian scripts

Petition to build more roofs in Britain

Eateries in Thailand

In some countries; big brother isn't watching you, it's the whole family!

Always safest to find a map
