Don’t sleep outdoors, China warns tourists
The list of Olympics ‘don’t do’ goes on
With the Beijing summer Olympics only five days away, the organizers have already stuffed their official website with long lists of things tourists are not allowed to do during the world’s most prestigious sports event.
Do not sleep outdoors to save money at the Olympics. It is banned to "maintain public hygiene and the cultured image of cities."
Do not let the stifling summer heat tempt you into streaking, do not get drunk nor set off fireworks nor wave "insulting banners."
Anyone with mental illnesses or sexually transmitted diseases is banned. Smoking is not allowed at Olympic venues.
"Foreigners must respect Chinese laws while in China and must not harm China's national security or damage social order."
The Olympics will be officially kicked of on Friday August 8, 2008.
