We thank our visitor Karina for sending us these pictures. Apparently, Karina like to travel a lot and gathered a nice collection of pictures from her trip around Europe. Here what she wrote:
"Dear Izismile, I've been checking on your website every day and I really love it. I particularly like dailypicdumps which are a source of a positive inspiration that I love to share with my friends and family. Few days ago I thought I could send you some of my pictures so you could have a look."
These photos are of the most impoverished and poorest countries in the world. They were taken by the Fund for Peace. In the past 50 years they have been creating a failed states index based on how stable or unstable a county is. These are some of the results.
German photographer Oliver Schwarzwald made a photo project about breakfast which is typical for different countries. Although there is a whole lot of clichés and stereotypes, the photos are fun to look at.
Check them out...

These Kit Kat candy bars are from several countries around the world and mostly from Japan. There is something for every person with a sweet tooth here.

Most big cities that are the world’s business centers have one common characteristic. These are skylines that offer beautiful and picturesque view of the whole city. Each skyline is unique and breathtaking. So let’s compare skylines from different countries of the world.
Shanghai, China
Laws about sex are pretty much the same all around the world (intercourse with minors and non-consensual sex are illegal…etc) but there are some extra laws in some countries or states that are very… strange!
This is a collection of old guns that were used by different countries long time ago. Many of these weapons aren’t used any more, so they may be called retro examples of army guns.
Some of you have asked us to make a selection of the World Cup 2010 fans from different countries. So, here they are with all their crazy costumes and makeups. No need to say they did not lack imagination and really put a lot of efforts to be noticed in the crowd of supporters. What a fan wouldn’t do to support his favorite team or, in this case, his country! Some pictures are just priceless.
Enjoy!
Some of these donuts are really weird looking, it is even hard to call them donuts…
Well, it seems that different countries have their own perception of how donuts should be :)
Let’s take a look.

Evolution, a topic which opposes well science and religion, but hey, it’s not a post to make a debate or anything else, it’s just humor.
First, we did not create these images and secondly, I warn you right away, most of them are insulting or can at least be seen as insulting to the majority of countries/continents that are represented and not just Africa...
You have to look at them to the ‘thousandth degree’ because these images use openly the worst clichés that we can have on one country or continent...
So why do we publish them, well because I think we can laugh at these pictures if we don’t take them seriously, so relax and don’t forget it’s just humoristic.
If you have not seen yet the first part, well, you cant look at it like right now :)
