Gum Time, Jail Time
As
the story goes, long, long, time ago,
the primeminister of Singapore got some
gum stuck on his precious shoes
(that were probably handcrafted
by the God of leather). After his
sticky misstep, he banned everyone
from chewing gum. We don’t know
how true this story is but regardless,
Singapore is a No Gum country. The law is taken
so seriously that those who try to sneak in this sticky
villain run the risk of being thrown into jail.
Crime of Passion
Before
you start working your pucker
in Dubai, think twice. Is kissing your
girlfriend worth spending time in
a Dubai prison? Some cases have
even seen people banished from ever
entering the country again. They take
their kissing, very, very seriously! So
next time you are even thinking of
some PDA (Public Display of Affection)
in the UAE, don’t even go there!
Criminally Hilarious
Walk on the Wild Side
Calling
all people who love heels, aka
99.9% of the female population and
10% of the male population; we have
got some awful news. Next time you are
trotting around the monuments of Greece,
remember to trade your 6-inch for some
ballet flats. If your heels clink on the
ground while you are walking around
Greece, you could get thrown in jail for
damaging historical artefacts. Well after
all, Rome was not built on clicking heels.
Fuel Catastrophe
Germany
expects its drivers to
have a decent tank of fuel at all
times. If you run out of gas and
get stuck on the side of the roads,
instead of a tow truck, you will be
hitching a ride with a police car.
After all, how could you not notice
your gas light showing your tank
begging to be filled!
Ocean Sentencing
If
you are trying to float
around the beaches of
Portugal, after too many
bottles of port and have
the sudden urge to pee, you
might want to weigh the
repercussions of landing in
jail. We are not quite sure
how they track this offence,
but we wouldn’t want to
test the waters in Portugal.
