Hello everyone! Here I am on a weekend trip to Prague – in the middle of winter.
People are wearing their best winter clothes. Lots of heavy jackets and coats for
the men, and long skirts and boots for the women – because it's not easy to walk

 in the snow in normal shoes! People in the park are doing exercises in tracksuits
and trainers, but with a sweatshirt on top!

February 7
Today's report is from a fancy dress party to celebrate Carnival here in the south
of France. I notice that nobody's wearing hats, maybe because it's quite warm.
And I can't see many coats either. Lots of colourful tops and comfortable,
informal trousers like leggings and joggers – a few men are even wearing shorts!
Everyone's having a great time, dancing in the streets. And if you don't wear a
hat, it can't fall off when you're dancing!

their T-shirts, and in all kinds of different languages! Young people are wearing

Orange seems like a popular colour this summer, especially with the women.
Men seem to prefer greens and blues.
