Wired rules lies my high school

The high school that I attended was a little bit strange, in good way, was unique. It was Japanese boarding school locates, somehow, in Switzerland. As it was in Switzerland, the teachers were half Japanese and half Americans. The official language was English, although it was ignored because all students are Japanese who doesn't speak English very well. Living in this a little strange place, I found many rules lies in the school.

First, there were some restrictions on which destination you travel to. Locating in the middle of Europe, Switzerland is perfect place to travel to other countries. However, we were not allowed to go to Netherlands for example. We couldn't go to Spain either. Also, every time we travel, we have to write a purpose of the travel, specific dates, flight schedule etc.

What did I think of these rules? Of course when I was high school, I was wondered why we can't go anywhere we want to. We used to live in such a great location, and this was the only time we can travel Europe easily. If we were in Japan, we hardly travel to Europe.

However, this rule is very important in terms of our safety. For example, Netherlands is regal for Mariwana. If we go there, we might get into dangerous situation. Also, what if we missed the plane? Since we don't speak any European language and speak broken English, it will be almost impossible to get another plane tickets, and go back to school. Because school keeps on track where we are, we can go places safely. If something happened to us, the school will help us out. If we got lost, the school will find us. For our safety and the school makes those rules. The school has right to make such rules because it has responsibilities to protect us.
