In Poland you can have your driving license since 18. The same with alcochol, but most of people don't care about this rule...
I like eat a different types of food. One of my fauvorite is pierogi( It's so fattenig,but it's no fast food. I eat this only on special occasions because preparing this takes a lot of time). For example I hate fast food.

In New Zealand we can get our Learner's Licence at 15 =D
But we have to drive with someone with a full licence. After 6 months, we get our Restricted and can drive on our own. So, you can be clever and have your Restricted while you're still 15 lol

Drinking age... dunno. 16-18. Not much people listen to it though, where I come from =o

And yeah, I personally eat wnything that's not too hot form chilli's or the like. A unique vegetable to New Zealand that's really yummy is Kumara (Sweet Potato, in Maori). Have some if you ever get the chance!

In Turkey, you must be 18 for taking alcohol and drive. Because you're not adult to 18.
But no one putting this rule

In china, there is no restriction on the age of drinking. we can drink whenever we want, whatever we want. However, in chinese tradiction, children is not allowed to drink if they are not old enough. their parents take the responsibility to inspect. Most chindren in China is willing to listen to their parents' advice.

Hello I´m from Germany the drinking age is similiar to switzerland,with 16 you can drink beer and wine and with 18, when you are an adult , you can drink the harder ones

now we can start driving the car with 17, but till we are 18 one of our parents (or another adult) have to sit next to us and with 18 we can drive alone
I really like to eat "Suljanka" but it is not a typical german food

In Switzerland, you can go in pubs already with 13 years or younger, the official age for drinking is 16(beer and wine) but 18( hard alcool), but in public parties you can buy alcool with 13 years, you don't need to show your ID. I like the japanese food a lot!!

I used to live in New England, but not even a year ago I moved to NC. But my background would be Italian, which might explain me loving pizza and other Italian foods. I eat pizza so often and never get sick of it!!! For other foods, well toast, cereal, oatmeal, hamburgers, and other snacks. I don't have a huge variation, but I guess I could count as "what an Italian like to eat."

Here we can drive and drink alcohol/go to clubs at the age of 18. I think the most famous food from Turkey is Kebab. Döner and Pide--Americans call it Pita-- are popular too. We also have very different desserts such as Baklava and Lokum--Turkish Delight. But actually Turkish cuisine is so rich.

Hi, I'm from Australia, and each of our states has a different age to get your licence, where i live (Victoria) it is 16 accomponied and 18 full licence. We can drink alcohol with our parents present at any age, but not go to a bar until 18! I personally do not eat Kangaroo but i suppose some people do!!

In Belgium you can learn to drive at 18 and I think enter a pub at 16 although they really don't check it that much. If you look older than your age, you are lucky! :-) Our traditional dishes are probably not known to you, some meatdish with mashed apples (hot) and Frech fries with mayonaise are the national dish of Belgium (don't know why the word "French" is there in the first place). But same as in Finland we have a wide variety of foreign restaurants and also for home cooking a lot of foreign dishes are prepared.
