    Before
    ["Duty-free allowance: 200 cigarettes and 1 liter of alcohol per adult.", "Drones require prior authorization and are routinely confiscated at the border without it.", "Narcotics offenses carry severe penalties."]
    After
    ["The UK Foreign Office says you must apply for approval to bring a drone into Jordan at least 10 working days before travel; without a permit the authorities hold the drone at the airport and you collect it when you leave.", "Canada's travel advice says penalties for illegal drugs are severe: even small amounts are a criminal offence, and you could be held for up to 2 weeks without charge."]

  12. Jordan

    bestTimeToVisit

    Before
    Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) offer mild weather ideal for Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea; summers are very hot and winters can be surprisingly cold, with occasional snow in Amman.
    After
    No official source we could read gives a best time to visit Jordan. Canada's travel advice says the rainy season usually runs from November to March, with a risk of flash floods in wadis and on roads, and that snowfall is infrequent but can close roads.

  13. Jordan

    payments

    Before
    Cards are accepted in Amman hotels, malls and larger restaurants, but Petra-area shops, taxis and rural Jordan run on cash. Note that the dinar is a high-value currency (1 JOD is roughly 1.4 USD) — small notes are useful for tips and taxis.
    After
    The UK Foreign Office says most places accept card payments but cash machines are widely available only in Amman and other major towns. Canada's travel advice says larger stores and restaurants in Amman and tourist areas accept credit cards, ATMs are limited outside the larger cities and Queen Alia airport, and only US dollars and euros are easily converted into dinars.

  20. Jamaica

    Customs notes

    Before
    Firearms and ammunition are prohibited without a permit obtained in advance — visitors have been arrested and jailed over a single forgotten round in hand luggage. | Cannabis is decriminalised in small amounts for personal use inside Jamaica, but carrying any across the border in either direction remains a criminal offense and airport screening catches it. | Camouflage-patterned clothing is restricted and can be confiscated from civilians. | Fresh produce, plants and meat products are controlled; declare anything agricultural on the C5 form.
    After
    The Government of Canada says entering Jamaica with a firearm or even a single round of ammunition is considered a serious crime. | The UK FCDO says smoking marijuana (ganja) is illegal in Jamaica: possession of up to 2 ounces brings a J$500 fine, and severe penalties apply to other drug offences, including attempting to export narcotics. Departing visitors are thoroughly screened for drugs. | The UK FCDO says it is illegal to bring meat and dairy products into Jamaica, and the Government of Canada says fruits, vegetables, animals and animal products are strictly regulated.

  23. Italy

    Tip

    Before
    Validate regional train and bus tickets in the platform machines before boarding — traveling with an unvalidated ticket earns an on-the-spot fine.
    After
    The UK FCDO says that if you buy a public transport ticket from a kiosk or machine, you must validate it before you start your journey: officials patrol and issue on-the-spot fines for unvalidated tickets. Some buses and trams accept contactless payment on board.

  24. Italy

    Tip

    Before
    Most cities charge a per-night tourist tax (typically €1–10 depending on city and hotel class, e.g. Up to €10 in Rome), usually paid at the accommodation and not included in booking prices.
    After
    The UK FCDO says many major cities charge a small tourist tax, usually paid at your hotel and unlikely to be included in your booking. The rate varies by city and can depend on the hotel's star rating; hotels often ask for cash, so get a receipt.

  25. Italy

    Tip

    Before
    Historic city centers are restricted traffic zones (ZTL) — driving a rental car past the camera-enforced signs in Florence, Rome or Milan triggers automatic fines that follow you home.
    After
    The UK FCDO says you need a pass to drive a private or hire car into the historic centre of many Italian cities. The boundaries are usually marked ZTL in black on a yellow background; cameras record registration numbers and drivers without a pass are fined.
