Bans are different. Some of them are established by the state, and some we fix in our consciousness ourselves. Ban is a kind of control over a person. We know that if we have violated any rule or law, then we will surely be punished. This punishment can be both formal (by the state) and informal, for example, torment of conscience.
Let's see what ridiculous laws are for us in different parts of the world.
North Korea
These bans hailing from North Korea will plunge any European into shock. This harsh country is covered in many myths, only part of which is true.
North Korea's first weird ban is blue jeans. When you put on jeans or see a person in them, you think about capitalism? Not? In this case, you will not be a welcome guest in North Korea. This ban is motivated by the fact that jeans remind people of capitalism.
The second prohibition of this country is religious literature, and especially the Bible. These books also remind citizens of Western culture.
Singapore
If you are traveling to Singapore, be sure to leave your chewing gums at home. According to the rule, no gum can be bought or sold in Singapore. If you violate this prohibition, you will receive a large fine for using chewing gum in the streets.
Capri
Capri, an island in Italy, is a resort among Europeans and Americans. However, if you decide to visit it, then avoid wearing slippers. Slippers and sandals making loud noises are prohibited.
Poland
In Poland, in the small town of Tushino, authorities issued a strange law: a ban on Winnie the Pooh in playgrounds. The ban is explained by the fact that the fairy-tale character is half-naked.
France
The French town of Granville bans elephants on the beach. This ban is motivated by a very real story when the circus arrived in a small town. After the performance, the circus performers, along with the elephants, went to the municipal beach, where the elephants defecated. Naturally, management should have responded to this.
Russia
In the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, driving a dirty car is against the law. If you drive a car that is not clean enough, you can get a fine of about $ 30.
Italy
Italy almost everyone associates with a country of love and romance, but be careful when kissing your lover here. In Eboli, a city in southern Italy, it is strictly forbidden to kiss in transport. Breaking this law can cost you several hundred dollars.
Remember what bans exist in different countries, and do not break them.
