We spent an evening with a nice Icelandic couple and proceeded to eat a bunch of their food, we stole many licorice-powered treats, we unloaded gobs of unhealthy American sweets and we even flew drones without an official license. I'm certain we're wanted in Iceland.

Wow! I thought that I was the only one who knew these strange burial laws. I've no idea how I ended up on that part of the website a few weeks ago. Maybe I was trying to look up planning permission requirements but I carried on reading because they were so bizarre. I've never heard of the pickpocketing but I've had a few bad experiences on my way back after nights out downtown. It might not be illegal but tourists not showering properly before they climb into a swimming pool is my bugbear - they don't seem to realise that no one else in interested in them until they start to act shifty and avoid the showers / not strip off, then the rest of us will stare. I'm not a tourist but I think my only crime is bringing in proper sausages (and maybe a bit more alcohol than I am allowed to) - sorry, Icelandic ones just aren't meaty enough!

I was drinking a can of larger ( not covered by a plain brown paper bag ) in Mid -Town Manhattan in 1992. I was caught by a Swiss Guard protecting Pope John Paull II in 1985 - not that I intended to do the soldier or the Pope any harm. And I was arrested at the Soviet Mission to Italy - Russian Embassy - in Rome, but rapidly released and told to be upon my way. I didn`t need much encouraging with a machine gun pointing at my back. The daftest thing I have ever done abroad is take photos of a detachment of the Mexican Military in the middle of Mexico City, whilst at the same time being English ! Hells Bells, I`m glad I got away with that one.

@@TimeWarpIceland I figured it had to be somewhere, but it didn't seem to have the amount of crime we have here in the US. I actually worked in a prison for 7 years in Texas.

I'd have to say I've taken rocks from other states/countries and never had a problem. It's not as if I brought my handy-dandy pocket industrial jackhammer and destroyed the Earth to get them. I know sand from beaches can contain soil/bacteria/plant organisms so those have to be bottled and sealed or otherwise proven they're clean, but most often tossed. I hope I can bring back a Volcanic rock or two still, especially if they're going to be selling them at stores?
