Travel taboo! What you see during your trip must not be taken home. Is it a curse or a blessing?
The Hawaii Tourism Board has a clear sign that says "Don't take any sand and stones from Hawaii". Many people think that it is only for environmental reasons that they don't take it seriously. But this is actually because of the poisonous curse of Hawaiians. It is said that Hawaii has been an Indian kingdom for thousands of years. Later, when white people invaded, a member of Hawaii's royal family cursed before he died. Anyone who takes Hawaiian land will come to no good end. Then someone took away the stones and sand, and the real disaster happened. But there are still tourists every year.
Stones from Scotland can never be brought home because of this curse. Legend has it that when the Scots were invaded by the English, in order to protect the graves of their ancestors, the Scots put a curse, saying, "Anyone who takes the stones around the ancient tomb or destroys the cemetery will be plagued by bad luck, and those who do not repent will even die."
Ancient Scottish warriors left a curse when they died, preventing outsiders from seizing the land there. In the past, Scots were often invaded, so their resentment was very strong, and the curse continued to this day. So don't take local stones, lest you really be troubled by bad luck.
These things are not suitable for taking home. If you travel, you can bring some postcards or commemorative T-shirts.
