15) If you find yourself in London, make sure not to break the 1986 Salmon Act that says handling salmon in suspicious circumstances is illegal. 16) In 2005, Ignacio Jimenez, a mayor of Icononzo, a town in Colombia, passed a law under which, badmouthing was illegal. He argued that waggling tongues could be the difference between life and death for residents of the city, thanks to ongoing warfare between Marxist rebels and far-right paramilitary outlaws.

13) There are many things women are not allowed to do in some Muslim countries (such as driving a car, voting, reading fashion magazines etc.) but in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia they are even banned from using hotel swimming pools and spas. Ain't we lucky in Nigeria? ![]()

12) Capri, an island located in the Campania region, Italy, is a popular tourist destination. However, if you decide to visit avoid wearing flip flops. Flip flops and sandals that make loud noises are banned.

11) When traveling to Singapore, remember to leave your chewing gums at home. In 2004, this city-state in Southeast Asia imposed a strict ban on chewing gum imports. Under the rule, no gum is allowed to be bought or sold inside Singapore and there is a $500 fine for spitting out gum on the streets.

10) If you want to visit Milan, make sure to smile all the time. The Italian metropolis has imposed a ban on frowning. The city states that it is a legal requirement to smile at all times, except during funerals or hospital visits. Grouches who dare to break this regulation can face a fine.

Italy is often considered one of the most romantic countries in the world but be careful when kissing your lover here. In Eboli, a town in Southern Italy, kissing in a moving vehicle is banned. Breaking this law can cost you several hundreds dollars. ![]()

7) Another popular law passed in England is the one prohibiting people to die in the Houses of Parliament. Completely true and confirmed, the law was based on the fact that the buildings counted as a royal palace, therefore anyone who died there was technically entitled to a state funera

6) China is notorious for its tendency to control things in Tibet but the law that the Chinese government passed in 2007 was just beyond absurd. According to the law, it's illegal for the Tibetan monks to reincarnate without the government´s permission weird isn't it?

For example, visitors cannot use local currency (the North Korean won). They're not even allowed into the city´s department stores.

The U.S. is not the only country that has imposed a ban on some weird stuff. From wearing noisy shoes and leaving elephants on the beach to die. Check out some strange things banned around the world: *grab your popcorn* ![]() 1) In Victoria, the second most populous state of Australia, you are not allowed to change a light bulb unless you are a licensed electrician. Those who don't comply can face a fine of up to 10 Australian dollars.. Changing bulb is not really illegal in Victoria, so I think the $10 fine is an empty threat said just to ensure the well-being of Victoria citizens. Because there is a lack of electrical knowledge in the Australian population, bulbs occasonally break when changing, so you've got the added risk of electrical shock as well as cuts from broken glass...and possibly blowing the entire circuit if the bulb seperates from its metal base and the lead wires twist together.. Source: www.list25.com & file:///data/data/com.android.browser/files/index-12.mht Krest3d a nairalander who lives in Victoria said it's not illegal to change electrical bulb..so, there's no cause for alarm ![]() 2) Lanjarón, Spain, there was a certain time period during which it was illegal to die. The town´s 4,000 inhabitants were to stay alive until the government was able to buy land and build a new cemetery. The unusual law was mostly received with humor among both the politicians as well as the citizens. ![]() 3) 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 fined up to 2000 rubles (currently around 30 American dollars). www.List25.com Cc: fynestboy, lalasticlala, Mynd44
