This is something I would have thougt to have been standardized long ago.

This is my backpack on the first day of my trip. By day three I just stuff everything in random order and with excessive force.

I fell for the shoe shiner scheme in Istanbul. Yet somehow, I don’t mind - it wasn’t too expensive and it’s always a great starting talking point when discussing tourist experiences.

Denmark is among the happiest countries in the world and so are their sockets.

This also comes in handy if you're travelling by air. Always have one of these arrangements in your carry-on. That way - if your luggage is lost - at least you have *something* clean with you.

I don‘t really understand how something like gender pay gap is relevant for tourists? they‘re not getting paid there.

This is great. But I'd say that several items on the week or two ahead list should be done at least a month ahead.

In the UK (since 1983) as a rule, three different factors will help to determine your nationality as an individual: The country where you were born. The nationality of your parents (or ancestors in some cases). Your date of birth (because of rule changes). https://www.theukrules.co.uk/rules/legal/citizenship/british-nationality/index.html

Doesn't stop kids and drunk people in the UK!

Please post this on the back page of inflight magazines. The people who need it the most are not the ones who ever see these infographics. Unbelievable how we need an infographic on what is basically common courtesy.

You'll usually get an offer of a cup of tea in the UK.

Hmm, okay that's confusing. In Australia a 1 cup measurement is 250ml, so now I have to make sure to check if a recipe that uses 1 cup measurements is talking about US cup or Aus cup.

For those asking how the wedge stays up- think of it like 3D. It’s obviously still supported by 2 other sides.

Go Canada! 🥳🥳

Why the fück is Chinese censored wtf ?!?!? (Edit: they uncensored it )

Russian isn't fully correct. Should be "без молока" and "без сахара" instead of ending both in "-ом"

German pronunciation broken. Milk is more like "milsh" not "milkh". The final ch there is a fricative-y. Zucker is not zucker (like zuckerberg). It's tsoo-ka. Heiss is not best rendered "heiss", i mean what is the point of doing that? It's pronounced "hice" rhymes with "mice". Same for Klein. It's not pronounced "clane" (does not rhyme with lane). It's pronounced "cline" like the word "incline".

Spanish is wrong, it should be "quiero".

With or without sugar doesn’t take accents, it should be « avec sucre » or « sans sucre ». And you’d better say please, s’il vous plaît. Otherwise we’ll kick you out.

For Americans and British people coming to South America, you will want a "café americano" otherwise you'll get an espresso. Also Britishers, if you want tea in Brasil, we call it chá (pronounced SHA), not té. That's because we got tea from India, where they call it chai. For us TÉ is just the letter after S.

Accents totally change the meaning and pronunciation of words in French. Sucré, pronounced soo-cray, is the adjective "sweetened." So you would ask for un café sucré (a sweetened coffee -- a little unusual) or un café avec sucre (soo-kr). As such, the spelling above is wrong but the pronunciation key is correct.

Living in UAE since 10yrs. Literally never needed Arabic to order coffee. 8 times out 10 your barista will not even understand you if you order in Arabic cause they don't know it either.

French pronunciation wrong for sugar. You'd say "avec/San sucre" not "avec/sans sucré" Sucré is the adjective. Sucre is the noun

You are not supposed to ask for coffee in the Netherlands.

Why is the german hot and cold reversed when compared to others? cold on the left and hot on the right.

I can just imagine u.s. fuckwads massacring the pronunciation of even the easiest of these.

I hate coffee

Would have been nice if they'd included "please".

I always say "Ich hätte gerne eine Tasse Kaffee" as it sounds more polite. Or simply "Eine Tasse Kaffee, bitte."

A flat white with 2 sugars in Australia is also sometimes referred to as a "blonde with tits".

not sure if this is still relevant as it‘s from before the plague™️

Correction for the Asian tip thingy: No tip if in Japan and China. Others will gladly take some extra cash. (Edit: Indonesia is no tip as well. As for Korea, I have lived there for a while before moving and I always gave tips but some people say otherwise)

*hold your nostrils closed with your fingers and swallow

all countries where it's forbidden to "be gay" aren't on the list...

Great, now I itch all over

This reads like something a magazine editor threw together at the last minute to fill a page or segue to some sponsored links. Silk sheets? Really?

You cannot drive the Appalachian Trail.

+886 for Taiwan

We drink tap water in South Africa - we even drink it right out of the hose while watering the garden!

Swimming with your bike's the hardest bit.

"avoid coffee because caffeine" - "drink green tea but decaffeinated" just drink decaffeinated coffee if you like coffee?! also, caffeine being dehydrating has been debunked. just drink enough water, no matter the amount of coffee.

Airports are highly over priced for everything. Go to a local shop in town, instead.

LOL cars WILL stop if they see you! We're not going to tranform you in a human pancake on purpose! Just look both ways before crossing and don't jump suddenly into a busy road and you're safe ahahahaha

east and south european people get refused more often than russians, i.e. those from a literal enemy state of western countries? ok. I'm czech, I's gladly pass on going to the US but this offends me.
