3. TOUCH YOUR CROTCH
Michael Jackson would have had a hard time in Italy, where crotch-grabbing is deemed so "bad" it's illegal. Apparently the superstition, whereby men believe that a spot of "rearranging" could ward off bad luck, was so rife there was nothing for it but legislation to curb the behaviour.
4. BE WEIRD WITH SALMON
The UK's famous Salmon Act of 1986 prohibits "handling salmon in suspicious circumstances". It's a law aimed at reducing poaching - which is no joke - but the wording is still worth a chuckle.
5. PEE IN THE OCEAN
It's against the law in Portugal, though we pity the task team whose job it is to bring in offenders.
6. WALK PAST THE PRESIDENT'S HOUSE
You can't take photos of public buildings in Maputo and if you find yourself on the pavement outside the president's house, best cross the street. It's illegal to be on foot on that side of the road.
7. FOOTLOOSE BIKING
If you ride a bike in Mexico, keep your feet flat on the pedals at all times. Lifting them is deemed reckless.
