Some Things That You Will Only Find In These Countries

(Source: list25)

Every country is unique. Even two countries that are extremely similar, like the United States and Canada, or Australia and New Zealand are very different. The difference in culture can be quite incredible, but it’s not just the culture. It’s also the language, the traditions, and everything else that goes along with it.

Today, however, we’re also going to be looking at more concrete differences. For example, Nepal is the only country in the world with a non-rectangular flag (Switzerland’s flag is a square, and squares are rectangles). But some of these concrete differences will be a little bit silly. To give you an example, the United States is the only country on Earth where you have a “World Series” with only two countries in attendance (the US and Canada). As you can see, this list will mix a little bit of seriousness with a little bit of lightness and everything in-between.

So, whether you travel a lot or not, we’re sure that you’ll appreciate the differences between these countries. And if you haven’t traveled, maybe we’ll give you some ideas here that will inspire your future journeys! These are some things that you will only find in these countries!

Nepal - This country has non-rectangular flags.

South Africa - People call traffic lights “robots.”

Germany - This is probably the only country on Earth where you can be driving 250 kmh and still have a car pass you, all while driving past a police officer who wonders why you’re driving so slow.

Netherlands - There are more bikes than people.

Iceland - Music festivals happen inside of glaciers and volcanoes (Secret Solstice).

Romania - Corpses are dug up, hearts cut out and then burned, and then the ashes are reburied with the body…all so the dead won’t come back and haunt anybody.
