Travelling abroad certainly enriches one with different experiences, but there may be also problems in stock if visitors to other nations fail to adhere to rules and regulations in the foreign nation. Take a peek at the following to understand the plight of tourists, when they were engrossed in the beauty of the tourist spots.
‘Smelling good’ would be the order of the day in England’s Thorpe Park at Chertsey, Surrey. Body odor is a serious subject doing the rounds, which the park authorities emphasize on tourists and visitors. Thus ‘Say no to BO’ is a common sign that attracts visitors and tourists in order to sensitize about the most unwanted body odor. ‘Hands up’ is the keyword for trigger happy villains, but ‘hands down’ seems to be the requirement of the park. Tourists are expected to be free from BO while having rollercoaster rides.
A Poland traveler had to cough up $225 as he violated the rule of keeping a safe distance from one of the fountains in Florence, Italy. The cops were quick to get him down and penalized the tourist for the act. Alas! He had to pay dearly for his over enthusiasm.
If one adds feathers to his cap, it means he has something to feel proud. However, if tourists tossed the birds and brought them down dead, there is nothing to feel elated. This happened in Poland’s Renaissance market in Krakow on Oct 24, when two young British tourists in their 20s tossed up the feathered creatures up in the air. They had to pay 600 Zlotys (£ 130) for the damage to the pigeons, which was a loss for the lives of the birds and monetary loss for the tourists.
Knowing local slangs and code words are something that may help a lot, especially if they would put travelers coming from abroad in a fix. Jargons in drug trade have alerted the Police personnel in UK that have issued a special list of certain words to easily find criminals in the trade. Don’t be surprised if you find common names such as Henry, Helen, George, and Jones which indicate the infamous drug heroin. The Police National Legal Database (PNLD) of England has drawn a long list consisting 2875 words and phrases which include common words like lemonade, nurse, hairy and code words such as scott, dogfood, dead on arrival, witch and panganadalot. Wise travelers may be interested to underscore these words to avoid problems during their visit to England.
