All of us—well, most of us—love to travel. Seeing new places, meeting new people, and feeling a whirlwind of emotions whenever you find yourself somewhere you have never been before or return to a place you hold dear in your heart.
Each country—and even every city—has its own vibe and some characteristics that make it unique. Often, the same traits are also grounds for jokes. Making funny jokes about countries and their various features is absolutely fine as long as you aren’t rude to anyone.
Always remember that it is somebody’s homeland, and what seems really funny to you might be insulting to them. That being said, it doesn’t mean you should never tell jokes in company. Funny jokes or puns about countries are a great way to break the ice, spend time, and even get to know each other better.
