The widespread custom of self-portraying in the places we visit has already become an unstoppable wave. But not everywhere: there are places where this custom has been restricted, via prohibition or recommendation.
For example, you can't take selfies in Mecca (Saudi Arabia); and, at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, as the matter is taken for granted within the general ban on taking photos.
Likewise, an accident, in which two young people drowned after falling into the sea while taking a selfie, caused the Indian police to call your attention today if you are going to pose in front of your mobile on the Bombay seafront.
By popular demand and to keep the place quiet, they were banned from La Garoupe beach, in the south of France.
Other places exempt from selfies are: the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) in New York, the cliffs of the Croatian coast and Lake Tahoe, in the United States. On the other hand, in Disney parks you can take the selfies you want, but the best stick is left in the hotel room, because it is forbidden to use it.
Nor can it be used in a monument as visited as the Colosseum in Rome, since it hinders the flow of people, nor in the Forbidden City in Beijing or the famous Lollapalooza festival in Chicago.
