We had class at Bakayama :) It was so nice to have discussions out in the sun!
There were talks about restrictions on clothing with words and on different ages. And there was one conspicuous point that I've noticed; Spain is such a liberal country compared to others! In my international school, there was no control over what we were supposed to wear. Some of the members of my group said that they needed to keep out wearing certain clothes with some images and words in the US, or were simply not allowed. For example, words and images that reminds people on drugs was prohibited. In that sense, we were completely free since we were allowed to wear anything in my school in Spain. The only rule on clothing was not to wear spaghetti straps! Talking of aging restrictions, Spanish laws hardly functioned when I was living there back then. But things seemed to have changed a few years ago when the EU basically unified the rules. Speaking of the time before that, there wasn't such thing as a smoking/drinking age. Anyone was allowed to smoke or drink at whatever time in their lives. The school even served us champagne in 9th grade during Prom! This goes a little off the track, but the laws on drugs are really interesting. The country regulates the purchase of marijuana, but not the consumption and cultivation. So if you get caught by a police officer by smoking marijuana, say that your dad gave it to you. Then you will never be guilty in Spain! Well, I suggest not to do drugs at the first place though...
