Now we don't know much about laws of other countries, but that topic is usually pretty boring but not this time
Why can't you save a drowning person in Asia? Where can't you pay only with change?
What happens to a man in Samoa if he forgets about his wife's birthday?
Well this video will tell you about 19 most extraordinary things people aren't allowed to do in various countries
We still struggle to believe some of them
19 you can't eat biscuits on Christmas Day
In
1644 in the United Kingdom
Oliver Cromwell prohibited celebrating Christmas because he thought it was immoral
Along with Christmas itself many attributes of the holiday were officially banned including
sweet buns and biscuits
It's curious that this law hasn't been abolished
So every English man technically commits a crime every time he eats a biscuit on a Christmas Day
18 you can't touch Wales
Here is another strange law from the UK the Queen is a
Powerful woman all whales dolphins and other sea mammals within the three-mile radius of the UK are considered
Elizabeth's property, so you can't touch them without breaking the law well. How would you like it if somebody touched your things?
17 you can't die in Parliament
You thought we were done with the UK after two laws well you were wrong
It's illegal for any politician to die in Parliament now
We're not completely sure what punishment a criminal might get
What if somebody murders someone else in Parliament do both the murdered and the victim get punished?
16 you can't rescue a drowning person
not a single list of strange laws can leave China untouched
one such law says that it's illegal to rescue somebody who's drowning this bizarre and
Inhumane law is connected with the eastern philosophy
Stating that interfering with a person's fate is immoral now while we're looking for a definition of a moral and a dictionary
Skeptics think that the Chinese authorities use this regulation to control the population
We prefer the first explanation like this video if you agree with us
15 you can't kiss at train stations and
Yet somehow France is associated with love now this law first appeared in France in
1910 when kissing couples were so busy saying goodbye to each other that they actually delayed trains
And as a result the authorities banned kissing at platforms and made special kissing zones
Where lovers could take a moment of tenderness?
Now this makes all the passionate platform movie scenes even more valuable something nostalgic from the past
14 you can't feed pigeons
Well actually you can but not in Venice
It's illegal and punished by a fine to feed poor hungry pigeons in Venice
However, you want to see the beautiful statues and architectural monuments dirty you have to abide
13 you can't buy Kinder Surprise
The famous chocolate eggs have been prohibited all around the United States since the very day of their appearance
Now the reason for this was that according to the US laws
It's prohibited to put small toys into food because children can choke on small parts
Just imagine the number of kids who couldn't enjoy that feeling when you don't just eat tasty chocolate
But also know that there's a toy waiting for you inside in
2013 children could finally have fun with the Kinder's the authorities allowed the eggs to be sold
But only on condition that there would be large toys inside made of a single piece a child can't possibly swallow
12 you can't pay only with change in
Canada you can't have fun cracking your piggy bank and buying something
There's a law that prohibits you from paying only with change if the price is over 10 Canadian dollars
11 you can't step on money
Another law concerning money
But this time it comes from Thailand Rama the ninth who was the king of Thailand for seventy years before he died in
2016 he was and is viewed as divine by the people in Thailand so stepping on the money with his picture is considered a crime
Ten you can't forget about your wife's birthday
You'll pay a fine in Samoa if you forget about your wife's birthday
We wonder do a fitted wives actually report their husbands
Well the fine that men pay goes straight to their wives as hands
So I guess women do get their presents after all we recommend it setting a reminder on your phone that to be completely safe
Nine you can't show your tattoos
It's not that there's a law in Japan that prohibits having visible tattoos
It's more of a stereotype that people with tattoos are associated with criminal groups like the Yakuza
So some hotels Gems public baths and other organizations may not admit customers with visible tattoos
8 you can't run out of gas on the highway
There is a network of high speed highways in Germany called Autobahn now
You can drive extremely fast on such routes
So you're not allowed to run out of gas and stuff because this might cause a car accident
The funny thing is that if you do run out of gas
There's no point getting out of the car looking for help walking along the Autobahn is prohibited to
7 you can't wake bears up
You do a lot of crazy things for a good selfie right well apparently
So many people try to wake up bears during their winter hibernation
That it was actually made illegal in Alaska
the only question is why prohibit that and spend government money on looking for criminals and
Punishing them if a woken up bear can teach them a lesson itself natural selection in its best
Six you can't offer cigars to pets
Or animals in Illinois USA fighting a smoking addiction can be really tough
Five you can't cheat in school
Now any Bangladesh student older than 15, who's caught cheating in school can be imprisoned
Nobody loves a cheat, but prison. What kind of an education besides life lessons, can you get in a Bangladesh prison?
For you can't frown
When in Milan don't forget that it's illegal to frown there if you want to spend all your money on shopping and not on fines
Don't be grumpy of course this law doesn't work for funerals and hospital visits
3 you can kill your cheating husband
Do you remember that don't forget your wife's birthday and Samoa law well that was totally harmless you see in Hong Kong
if a wife catches her husband cheating
she has the legal right to kill him the only thing she needs to keep in mind if it's even possible in such a
Situation is that she can only kill him with her bare hands
She's not allowed to use any kind of weapon however that might be even more satisfying to do it in this way
- you can't pee in the ocean
You can be sentenced to some time in a cell if you get caught peeing in the ocean and Portugal
Who exactly can catch you and how they prove you committed this?
Unforgivable crime does remain a question however. We're wondering. What's so wrong about peeing in the ocean. It's the natural water cycle, right?
One you can't eat at a burning restaurant
No matter how much you'd like to do it
There's a law in Chicago that prohibits you to continue eating your meal when the restaurant is on fire
Oh such, a shame. I mean this could be a lifetime experience
Do you know about any other laws
