You cannot enjoy the same privileges no matter where you go. Of course you understand that; we all do! You\u2019re prepared to conform and do what you need to do to ensure a smooth travel, right? Well, what if there are laws so crazy, so outrageous that you can\u2019t even believe such laws could even exist? Here are 10 such laws for travelers around the globe.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p><strong><span class=\"content-title\">1. YOU CAN, BUT I CAN\u2019T<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/top-10-crazy-laws-for-travelers-around-the-world\/prostitute\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4954\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4954\" title=\"prostitute\" alt=\"prostitute\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/prostitute-500x375.png\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/prostitute-500x375.png 500w, https:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/prostitute.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSweden has a very strange law, something that\u2019s hard to comprehend. Swedish prostitutes are well within the law to ply their trade. However, if a man is caught paying a Swedish prostitute for her services, he can be punished with a fine, or six months in jail. Is that funny or what?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><span class=\"content-title\">2. MIGRAINE? DON\u2019T CARRY YOUR PAINKILLER TO MALAYSIA!<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4975\" title=\"migraine\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/migraine.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" \/><br \/>\nPossession of any form of narcotic drug, even a narcotic painkiller, can get you mandatory punishment including death at Malaysian customs. So if you\u2019re taking morphine for severe, debilitating pain, best not to take it to Malaysia.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"content-title\">3. FORGOT TO FLUSH THE TOILET? PAY UP A FINE OR CLEAN IT!<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4980\" title=\"toilet\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/toilet.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" \/><br \/>\nSingapore is very strict when it comes to public cleanliness. When you use a public toilet in Singapore, you better be sure to flush it and flush it loudly. If you don\u2019t flush it, and the maintenance person catches you, he or she can report you to the cops. Guess what? Visitor or not, you pay a fine for not flushing the toilet. Don\u2019t want to pay the fine? Well, you can always clean the toilet for them!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"content-title\">4. WANT TO RIDE A SCOOTER? WEAR PROPER SHOES<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4981\" title=\"scooter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/scooter.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/scooter.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/scooter-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re on tour to the Philippines, you\u2019ll find that riding a scooter is the best way to get from point A to point B. It\u2019s a hot country and you might think of slipping into your little rubber thongs or sandals while riding. Just don\u2019t. You can get ticketed for not wearing proper shoes while riding; protest and you could be arrested.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"content-title\">5. TOURING CAMBODIA? PUT THOSE WATER GUNS AWAY!<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4982\" title=\"waterguns\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/waterguns.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"440\" \/><br \/>\nPeople in Southeast Asia celebrate New Year\u2019s or any function with a lot of noise and color, often throwing water balloons and drenching travelers. In Cambodia, however, there\u2019s this strange rule. Anyone seen using spraying water at others with a water gun will be fined and the guns snatched. Why? Well, some clever creature loaded a bunch of water guns with toilet water and drenched people with what-you-can-imagine, that\u2019s why.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"content-title\">6. TRAVELING TO JAPAN? YOU BETTER NOT HAVE A COLD!<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4985\" title=\"cold\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/cold-500x333.png\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/cold-500x333.png 500w, https:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/cold.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><br \/>\nIn Japan, the ordinary items that you buy over-the-counter in the U.S. and other countries would be considered illegal. Well, you can understand if painkillers were considered illegal, but Vicks? Apparently, Vicks contains pseudoephedrine, a known stimulant. Walk into Japan with a bottle of Vicks you\u2019ve been rubbing on your congested chest, and you might find yourself locked in a cold cell. Good luck with that cold!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"content-title\">7. LEAVE YOUR DOG AT HOME WHEN YOU VISIT THE DEUTSCHLAND<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4984\" title=\"dogs\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/dogs.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/dogs.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/dogs-500x353.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><br \/>\nThe German government considers several breeds of dogs dangerous, including the mastiff, the terrier and the ridgeback. Germans are not allowed to breed or own these dogs. If you are traveling with your pet pooch, you better check if your dog\u2019s breed figures in the list of forbidden dangerous animals. If that is the case, then you cannot stay for more than 4 weeks in Germany with that dog. Best leave Rover at home, you think?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"content-title\">8. IN THE MOOD FOR HALLOWEEN? NOT IN DENMARK<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4988\" title=\"halloween_pumpkin\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/halloween_pumpkin.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"435\" \/><br \/>\nKeep all your passionate American cultural patriotism in the US before you head to Scandinavia! Walking around Denmark with a mask on can get you arrested, even if you are just celebrating Halloween there. If a mask can get you arrested, then you better forget the more elaborate Halloween costumes!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"content-title\">9. WANT MUSIC IN THE CAB? PAY FOR IT<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4989\" title=\"cab\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/cab.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"265\" \/><br \/>\nFinnish taxi drivers are not allowed to play music in their cabs, unless they are willing to pay a copyright fee. The copyright fee is to be paid because the music is being presented to customers. So it falls on passengers to pay for the music they want to hear. Do you want to save money while traveling in Finland? Carry your iTunes with you.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"content-title\">10. THINK THE KING LOOKS WEIRD? SHUSH!<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4990\" title=\"thailand\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/thailand.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"380\" \/><br \/>\nTrue democracy with its freedom of speech etcetera begins and ends with the western world. In Thailand, better not say anything negative about the reigning monarch, not even if you think he resembles Whoopi Goldberg. Whatever you say could be termed as a negative statement made against the king and you may find yourself behind bars for 15 years at least. The cops are actually authorized to investigate all complaints of L\u00e8se-Majest\u00e9!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you leave the comfort of your home and your home city, you\u2019re a stranger in strange places.
