Every country is different, and every country's laws are different.

Sometimes these laws border on the seriously ridiculous, and other

times they point to important cultural values that might be different
than your own.

I've compiled a list of weird laws around the world you may not
believe exist. But when you're traveling, you certainly don't want to
wind up behind bars!

1.In Milan, Italy, it is illegal to frown in public—unless they’re at a

funeral or visiting someone in the hospital.

2. Bubble gum ban in Singapore---Singapore has many laws

aimed at keeping the nation tidy and clean. The country seems to
have a particular obsession with chewing gum, banning its
importation entirely․ And until recently the government has been
imposing a fine or imprisonment for up to two years if you got
caught with it.

3. According to a law in Scotland, you must allow someone into

your house if he knocks on your door and needs to use the
bathroom.

4..It’s illegal to feed pigeons in Venice. Venice lawmakers officially

made it illegal to feed them in 2008. It is said the clean-up from the
birds cost each citizen €275 per year. If you’re caught feeding the
pigeons, you could face fines of up to €700.

5. The United Arab Emirates has some strict laws and some even
stricter laws on public decencyk․ The UAE cares a lot about the
image of the country, which is fair enough, but you can be fined
separately for having a dirty car and for not washing it. Dirty cars
are seen to be ‘disfiguring the city image and health’ and the
owners of dirty cars are fined up to 3,000 dirhams (£590).

6..When you take a selfie with Buddha, you are turning your back
on him. This sign of disrespect is punishable by imprisonment in
Sri Lanka. It is also considered disrespectful to point your finger at
Buddha, and sometimes there are bans on taking photos with the
statues. Although not illegal to have tattoos of Buddha.

7. In Capri, Italy to keep the island clean for visitors and residents,
dog owners must clean up the streets if their dog poop on it, if not,
they will trace it with DNA and the dog owners will be fined
€2,000 ($2,400).

8.. This Australian law may surprise you, but it makes more sense.
Under Victorian law changing a light bulb without a valid license
to do so was against the law. In Victoria, only certified electricians
are allowed to change a light bulb. If this is not respected, you will
be fined.

9, Flushing the toilet after 10 pm is considered noise pollution in

Switzerland under the country's laws.

10, The world is full of forgetful husbands, but Samoa island,

which is located between New Zealand and Hawaii. is trying to
improve that! There it is forbidden to forget the wife's birthday,
and the husband must answer to justice and still indemnify the
wife if he does so. If the wife ends up complaining about this awful
mistake to the police, the husband may have to visit the lock-up
and have to answer some brutal questions.
