A few that have surprised me over the years: none of this happens too often in the United States; We do not have Crown land, of course, but we do not use the freehold and leased structure much. Typically, in the United States, someone who is an “owner” owns both the house and the land on which it is located. (Not always; I`ve heard of fraternities on the MIT campus whose homes have a 99-year lease from the school.) Now, the United States has its own unique peculiarities around home ownership. Sometimes people own part of a house, such as a co-op or condominium. In this case, they pay similar “maintenance fees”,which are a kind of land rent. And then sometimes, in the United States, there`s this often-maligned entity called the “homeowners` association.” It`s a kind of amazing setup in which tens of millions of homes sold in the United States come up with an incriminated deed that says, “If you own a house on that land, you agree to be part of a private organization called HOA, which can have an almost unlimited say in what you can do with the land. and an almost unlimited power to levy taxes or fees and confiscate your home if you don`t pay. The US HOAs are effectively a phantom layer of small private governments. Like any small government, the good ones function as a smooth machine or a close-knit family, and the bad ones function as a Kafkaesque nightmare or a toxic family. The explosive popularity of HOAs is a peculiar and purely American phenomenon; the United Kingdom does not have the same thing. 7. The covered provider refers to any private establishment as far as it is concerned: Well, it is illegal to buy outside of certain hours in Thailand. Due to the country`s “blue laws” limiting certain activities to comply with rest periods, it is technically illegal to buy alcohol in a bar, restaurant or elsewhere outside of lunch (11am-2pm) and dinner (after 5pm).
It seems like you can`t just have those famous buckets of alcohol whenever you want. Blogger and longtime resident of Thailand, Richard Barrow, also says that you can`t legally buy alcohol on Buddha Day or Election Day. So, now you know. 1. The purpose of this Agreement is to promote public security and to protect privacy, civil liberties and an open internet by resolving potential conflicts with legal obligations where a legal procedure for the production or retention of electronic data is served on communications service providers by a Party, provided that such suppliers may also be subject to the legislation of the other Party. The Agreement shall provide each Party with efficient, effective, data protection and privacy-consistent means of obtaining electronic data relating to the prevention, detection or prosecution of serious criminal offences in a manner consistent with its law and that of the other Party, subject to appropriate restrictions on objectives. A study by flight comparison site JetCost found that 63% of people don`t consult local laws before traveling abroad, so we thought we were going to do it and to help you avoid future unfair stays in foreign prisons, we thought we were going to set up some of the tiny things, seemingly insignificant, which could stop you in some destinations abroad or cause you big trouble. If you are traveling to Barbados (or various other Caribbean countries, including the ban on St. Vincent and St.
Lucia), you should check the contents of your suitcase. Because wearing camouflage clothing is completely forbidden – even if it is not khaki colors. This strict rule is believed to be due to the prevention of people posing as military personnel for criminal purposes, and countries treat it as a very serious crime. In America, “jaywalking” – or the act of crossing the street when the traffic light doesn`t say you can – is a crime. True, it is considered a minor offense that is usually only dealt with by imposing a fine, but it is still illegal. The application varies from state to state, but in Massachusetts, for example, people who do Jaywalking are fined $1 for their first, second and third offenses in a given year and $2 for their fourth offense and all subsequent offenses in the year. You`re supposed to be happy when you go on vacation, right? And in Milan, Italy, it seems that they are quite interested in applying this. According to an old law that has never been overturned, it is really illegal not to smile, and he is punished with a fine. Jeez, talk about organized fun. The only people exempted from the rule, which is literally regulated by the funny police, are people in hospitals and those who attend funerals. Very well. 1.
