Typical clothes in different parts of the globe
France:
For their day- to- day activities, the French, both in the countryside and the cities, wear modern Western- style clothing. Perhaps the most typical item of clothing associated with the French is the black beret. It is still worn by some men, particularly in rural areas.
It is important to say that the French are known for fashion design. Coco Chanel, Yves Saint-Laurent, Christian Dior, and Jean-Paul Gautier are all French fashion design houses whose creations are worn by people around the world.
Traditional regional costumes are still worn at festivals and celebrations. In Alsace, women may be seen in white, lace-trimmed blouses and aprons decorated with colorful flowers. Women’s costumes in Normandy include white, flared bonnets and dresses with wide, elbow-length sleeves.
Germany:
Women’s attire, the dirndl, consists of a closefitting bodice combined with an apron in a different colour. Sometimes its sleeveless and worn with a cotton and lace blouse, sometimes it features sleeves and a high neck. Hats are often costly and elaborate. They vary according to occasion and region: ‘Goldhauben’ (Upper Austria) and ‘Bollenhut’ (Black Forest region, Germany) are only worn on festive occasions.
A man’s traditional clothing is made from leather, linen and wool. The ‘Lederhosen’, knee-length trousers or short-pants made from leather are worn with rustic shoes and wool socks. Again, jackets and hats vary according to region and occasion

2009 European Year of creativity
Now we know that the European Commission has today adopted a proposal to declare 2009 the European Year of Creativity and Innovation.However, the decision will be taken later this year by the European Council and the European Parliament.
Before going on we want to ensure the full understatement of what we said before. That is why we are going to talk about: The European Commission,the European Council and the European Parliament.
The European Commission,
The European Commission represents and maintains the general interest of the Union and is the responsible of the Union’s institutional system. It is formed by ministers, each of them representing different countries.
The European Parliament, however,is the only directly-elected body of the European Union. The 785 Members of the European Parliament are there to represent the citizen. They are elected once every five years by voters right across the 27 Member States of the European Union on behalf of its 492 million citizens.
Finally, the Council of Europe was founded in 1949 and seeks to develop throughout Europe common and democratic principles based on the European Convention on Human Rights and other reference texts on the protection of individuals.

OUR FIRST POST!
We love travelling. Enjoying the best of every country is our most loved hobby.Every time we have the chance to and we can choose what to do in our free time, travelling is the first thing that comes to our mind.Reading or listening to music is just a drop in the ocean compared to visiting new places.
And… travelling is how we got to know so many countries and cultures, most of which have made our life so much richer.Shine or rain , we always decide to learn more about others, because, to be honest, the best way to get to know ourselves is to understand how other people think.
In conclusion, we suggest you should travel whenever you get the chance to!:)
