1. Taking gum into Singapore is illegal. What’s more, selling it there could get you a fine of up to $100,000.
2. Enjoy a tipple while relaxing on your holiday in US? Be extra careful. You could get arrested while in public, even if you just look intoxicated!
3. Eating a sandwich or having a drink while chilling on church steps or courtyards in Florence is an offence.
4. Don’t even think about a kiss or cuddle in public while in the UAE as public displays of affection could lead to arrest and imprisonment.
5. Sitting on the pavement in many US cities is an offence.
6. You can only dance in Japan after midnight if the lights are on. Strut-your-stuff into the early hours – but make sure you keep the lights up!
7. Many countries ban medication that we use at home without a prescription, so check before you travel with medication abroad.

The Japanese dance law was changed several years ago - you can now legally dance after midnight (the reason they had it was to restrict dance halls which became very well-known for prostitution... but now you can dance the night away)
