The rules

Rules are posted in a fair number of places. Much like in the US but the rules are generally more extensive. And usually there are elements to the rules that make me wonder just exactly whether there's a snowball's chance in hell the posted rule would actually be broken. 

This small boat I was on is a fine example of that.
Below are the posted rules. Note rule 3. The end of the first line and the beginning of the second. What is the likelihood radioactive materials or cattle might be brought on the boat? The radioactive materials could certainly be hidden but a cow, a cow. How could a cow be brought on board without the crew knowing someone was attempting to bring aboard a cow.

    Again there is a difference in mind:-). The rule No. 3 doesn't mean to take a cattle on board without crew's knowing. Just meant not allowed. In Vietnam, if there is no clear statement like this, there will be somebody tries to take a cow on board and says " You didn't say the cow is not allowed on board, why you are trying to stop us now ? ". That's it.
