gum1_1683021i.jpg


Singapore

In a bid to keep the streets of this super-efficient city clean, the authorities in Singapore decided in 1992 to ban chewing gum completely.
Stick to a mint.



sandcastles2_1683027i.jpg


Eraclea, Italy

Many holidaymakers head to the sandy beach at Eraclea to escape the hordes of tourists in nearby Venice.
Unfortunately, those who enjoy building sandcastles can think again – it’s forbidden.



amsterdam3_1683015i.jpg


Amsterdam, Netherlands

A curious loophole in the law means that smoking tobacco in a public place such as a coffee shop in Amsterdam is banned,
while puffing away on pure cannabis is entirely legal.

Florida, USA

For those who are young, free and single and enjoy jumping out of planes in their spare time, be careful if you’re in Florida - unmarried women who parachute on Sundays can be jailed.

Switzerland

Bizarrely, flushing the toilet in a Swiss apartment is illegal after 10pm. It is also against the law for a man to
relieve himself while standing up after 10pm.



kiss6_1683024i.jpg


Eboli, Italy

Honeymooners might be best to avoid hiring a car in Eboli, just south of Naples.
Kissing in a moving vehicle
here can carry a fine of up to €500.



 

flipflop7_1683020i.jpg


Capri, Italy

Locals in Capri, northern Italy, must value their peace and quiet - a couple were arrested recently for wearing excessively noisy flip-flops,
following the introduction of a ban on ‘noisy footwear’.



blindfold8_1683017i.jpg


Alabama, USA

The Southern American state has a quite superfluous law in place which states that it’s illegal to be blindfolded while driving a vehicle.


dubai9_1683018i.jpg


Dubai, UAE

Dubai’s luxurious resorts and stunning beaches may seem like the ideal place to spend a romantic holiday, but don’t get too affectionate
- kissing in public here is illegal, and many tourists have fallen foul of this law in recent years.



durian10_1683019i.jpg


South-East Asia

The durian, a fruit native to Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia, has a smell so incredibly strong that it is banned from many public places
in South-East Asia.

How about a law appointing a "MINISTER MENTOR" for some old folk who just refuse to retire? Isn't that very strange? :rolleyes:
 
In Singapore, you cannot lodge an investigation on an MP or Minister unless you apply for a permit.
 
cheep,

yr mother-in-law and yr younger bro have anal sex ?
:D:eek::rolleyes:
 
In Cambodia, smoking marijuana is against the law. Using it as a condiment in cooking, however, is perfectly legal.

The Happy Herb Pizza is sold openly with or without the happy herb, although I have not tried it yet. I have however tried a very tasty stew of kampong chicken cooked with a generous amount of fragrant banana flower and a assortment of herbs like basil and others I can't identify, and of course, the happy herb. Needless to say, that made me quite happy.
