They left out Singapore?
United Arab Emirates: Illegal Sex!
Sure, the UAE is known for crazy, mind-boggling architecture and other dashes of Western flair, but anyone with an active libido -- hell, anyone who's not a devoutly religious virgin -- may want to reconsider a trip.

Let's ponder some of the recent news from this oil-rich corner of the globe. In April, a visitor to Dubai was raped (when "semi-conscious") by a hotel waiter. When she and her fiancée reported the crime to the police, they were both charged with humping-before-marriage -- "illegal sex," according to the law.
I have a thread on that story here.

what happens in Singapore if you get caught smoking weed?
Strict laws here. Capital punishment for drug offences but if its minor offence you will be sent for rehabitalisation and more serious offenses you end up behind bars. If you are caught in possession above the limit you could be hanged. Most who were hanged were drug traffickers - foreign nationals.
