Artist Evangeline Neo, best known online as evacomics, has a knack for spotting the exact moment when travel stops feeling “exciting” and starts feeling confusing or mildly irritating.
She’s previously shared her work here on Bored Panda, focusing on the cultural differences between her native Singapore, and her favorite travel location, Japan. Since then, Evangeline has continued expanding her storytelling by comparing daily life in Singapore to places like Australia, the U.S., and Europe, or simply navigating the daily (in)conveniences that come with traveling.
Let us know which cultural mismatches Evangeline described best and which ones you’ve experienced yourself. If you’d like to explore her other work, you can find it on her Instagram and website.

Her comics turn culture shock into something that is both relatable and educational about the culture described, on top of being very funny.

Instead of leaning on the common trope differences, Evangeline zooms in on the tiny details that catch you off guard: price tags that don’t mean what you think they mean, taxes that appear at the last second, shops that close far earlier than your internal clock is prepared for, or “normal” social habits that suddenly feel like an unwritten exam.
