I got into the blogging groove and wanted to write about something less serious than court.
One day we asked Elena what the legal drinking age is here. She responded that it was eighteen. Alex then asked (about the boy who looked like he was about fourteen buying alcohol and one of the many, many corner alcohol stands), "Does he look like he is eighteen?". Elena responded that beer is not considered alcohol so there is no minimum age requirement. We asked her if there were laws against drunk driving. Elena responded that there were laws (however, if you get pulled over you could always bribe the police officer!).
Alex asked Elena how old you have to be to drive here. Elena responded that you have to be eighteen. NOTE: This is very wise, in my opinion, based on the very crazy driving "rules" here. Alex then asked her if a Mo-Ped (I don't think I spelled this correctly) is considered a vehicle because he say a boy that looked about twelve driving one. Elena responded that a Mo-Ped is not considered a vehicle and driving one does not require a license.
Alex then asked Elena, since there is no minimum age to buy beer and no minumum age to drive a Mo-Ped, is someone under eighteen allowed to drink beer while driving a Mo-Ped?
