The UK foreign office has launched a campaign urging Britons to dress appropriately and respect local customs when on holiday in other countries.

Different countries have different customs and laws, and holidaymakers need to be aware and familiarise themselves with these laws and customs to avoid getting into trouble and spoil your holiday. From women sunbathing topless abroad, having sex in public and even checking into a hotel with someone you are not merried to, holidaymakers do it without realising i maybe an offence in some countries. So, have you ever been caught on the wrong side of the law whilst on holiday? It can be a nasty experience, some have ended up in prison.
