壹蘋派生活美語　「最懶公民」趣味競賽顛覆你想像

　　For the past 12 years, a special event has been held in Montenegro. The event’s organizer came up with the contest as a joke to make fun of the stereotype that the country’s citizens are lazy. The “laziest citizen” contest is based on the 10 Montenegrin Commandments, a humorous list that talks about the importance of leisure and relaxation. The contest seeks to put the commandments into practice. The rules of the contest are simple yet challenging.
