Laws around the world capable of confusing any tourist

Each country has its laws and its prohibitions, some very common, and other very strange. The fact is that there is not a single country that has not banned at least one thing in its territory.

Some things forbidden in some countries are very funny for us, as well as some Brazilian laws may be considered bizarre by foreigners. It is important to know basic rules from other parts of the world before visiting them, for many things that we can not imagine can be forbidden in them, like a simple chewing gum, for example.

Australia
Australia is a very eccentric country, even in its laws. On Sundays, it is forbidden to appear in public places wearing pink pants after noon. In addition, only a licensed electrician can change a light bulb. Otherwise, a fine will apply.

Italy
Since 2008, it is illegal to feed pigeons in St. Mark's Square in Venice, as they destroy historical monuments and buildings and transmit various diseases. In Eraclea, a town near Venice, it is forbidden to build sand castles on the beaches, as this will hinder people's walks along the coast. Still in Italy, in Eboli, couples are forbidden to kiss in cars; and on the island of Capri, the use of clogs and noisy wooden shoes is banned.

Singapore
In Singapore, chewing gum is banned, except for some specific chewing gum sold in pharmacies, and nicotine for those who want to stop smoking.

England
In England, it is forbidden to clean carpets on the streets, but if someone wants to do it quickly, it should be over by 8:00 in the morning. It is also prohibited to transport cattle in the streets from 7 in the morning until 10 at night, except with the permission of the police.

Still on the list of bizarre ... kissing is not allowed in the railway stations, and there are signs of "no kisses" in various places. The government is concerned that long hugs may cause delays for passengers.

Canada
Under the laws of the country, 35% of all content transmitted must be of Canadian origin, from 6 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday. They should hear enough Justin Bieber throughout the day.

Japan
Japan is a country that cares about obesity and the diseases associated with it. Since 2008, people between the ages of 40 and 75 need to have some measure in the waist, which should not be more than 85 cm for men and 90 for women. In case of excess, the Japanese receive special medical care for weight control, but they do not have to comply with fines or sanctions. Here are some strange rules from Japan.

India
In 2016 a "fat tax" was implemented in the state of Querala. The tax was set at 14.5% for hamburgers, pizza, donuts and other fats served in restaurants and snack bars.
