There are some thing that you sometimes get or sometimes your carve for. But there are many things that in-spite of our lust to have it we can`t have it. Just like this there are many thing which are not allowed or i must say are banned in different countries. Means what?? Seriously.. I can understand what they might go through when they see other country people doing things they are banned from. Here are 10 wied things banned by different countries around the world.
Scrabble
Scrabble was considered as “evil” and “subversive” an was banned in the 80s in Romania. The ban is no longer in effect and the country now even has a Scrabble Federation and hosts Scrabble tournaments.
Blue Jeans
Black jeans are fine, if that’s any consolation. But blue being a colour that is associated with the United States, North Korea decided to ban blue jeans. You might get a headache trying to get your head around it.
Chewing Gum
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.
Flip-Flops
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.
Women with Small Breasts in Porn
The logic behind the Australian Classification Board’s strange rule was that pornography that featured women with small breasts would encourage pedophilia.
Vacuuming house During Day Hours
In Melbourne, Australia, vacuuming your house between 10 pm and 7 am during weekdays and 10 pm and 9 am during the weekends is against the law.
Driving Dirty Car
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).
Men Ponytail
While ponytails are the ‘in thing’ for a long time with men who dig rock n’roll and sports cars, in 2010 the Iranian government issued a list of “appropriate male hairstyles” that feature ponytails, mullets and spiky hair.
Jogging
Lying right across the infamous Rwanda, Burundi has a history of ethnic strife. During the prolonged period of turmoil that ened in the last decade, it was common practice for the citizens to go jogging together in groups, partly to have one another as protection from the militia. But in March 2014, Pierre Nkurunziza-the president of the country, banned jogging based on the argument that people use the activity as a cover to plan subversive activities.
Playing Online Games After Midnight
The “shutdown law” of 2011 disallowed kids under 16 to play video games from midnight till 6 A.M. The ban was imposed in order to help curb a gaming addiction. However, following a parental request, the ban might be lifted by the authorities.
