What makes Kente cloth a symbol of Ghanaian heritage?

Ghana's Kente cloth is acknowledged worldwide as a national treasure and a symbol of the nation's rich artistic heritage, having a deep cultural, historical, and symbolic value. Through the Ashantis' history, Kente clothing and goods have historically, traditionally, and culturally elevated Ghana to enhance its tourism industry.  

 

Its elaborate patterns and vivid colors reflect deep philosophical ideas, proverbs, historical events, and spiritual beliefs. Originally reserved for royalty and religious rites, Kente symbolizes wealth, high social standing, and cultural refinement. Its global significance and the necessity of its preservation were confirmed in December 2024 when it was included in UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

 

Ghana began initiating legal action in November 2025 to protect Kente through geographical indication designation and intellectual property, with the goal of preserving its cultural legacy and guaranteeing that local craftspeople profit from its widespread use. The Ashanti and Ewe peoples of Ghana are closely associated with kente cloth, which dates back to the eleventh century and developed through trading networks that brought in opulent materials like silk.

 

In Kente, every pattern and hue has a distinct symbolic meaning. For instance, crimson stands for the blood of the deceased, green for mineral wealth, black for spiritual awareness, and gold for rank. The fabric is worn as a potent declaration of cultural identity and heritage at significant life events, including weddings, funerals, graduations, and customary rites of passage.

 

The Ghanaian town of Bonwire is regarded as the center of Kente weaving, a craft that has been passed down through the years through apprenticeship within weaving families. Kente, which was formerly only worn by royalty, is now extensively worn in Ghana and by individuals of African descent globally, serving as a symbol of African pride and identity and a link to their African heritage.

 

Kente fabric is thought to have originated in the 17th century AD from old Akan weaving methods that date back to the 11th century. Kente eventually reveals that the exquisitely woven fabric came from Ghana, despite its association with the Ivory Coast culture. Ghana's traditional Kente cloth, which is worn at ceremonies, festivals, and public gatherings, reflects the country's renown as the first in Sub-Saharan Africa to achieve freedom.

Renowned weavers are increasingly studying kente designs, which give each textile its own uniqueness and go beyond simple fashion. Kente continues to be a source of pride for both Ghanaians and Africans living abroad. For instance, during celebrations of African American heritage, like Black History Month, African Americans proudly display Kente to emphasize their ties to the African continent.

 

African Americans frequently wear it to demonstrate their understanding of or support for "Black Pride." As a result, the United States and other parts of the world currently dominate the global market for African art. In the early 1960s, the government of what was then Czechoslovakia invited journalists from all over the world to the country.

 

It was no surprise that the Ghanaian journalists from the Guinea Press, now known as the Ghanaian Times, won the tournament with their beautiful traditional Kente attire.

Rome offers much more to tourists than the Colosseum

The capital of Italy, Rome, has existed since the Roman Empire dominated the Mediterranean coast in antiquity. The Roman emperors built one of the greatest cities in the world thanks to their conquests, scientific discoveries, and cultural contributions, and their legacy still inspires us today. Living in the city of Rome from 1990 to 1993 was an experience I cherished.

 

When I moved from Rome to Sacrofano, a stunning mountain village outside of Rome, I realized that a village in Rome refers to a peaceful residential area where people work in agriculture, animal husbandry, and dairy production, since in Africa, a village means something different. Every corner of Rome is lined with historical sites, some of which are hundreds of years old, while others are thousands of years old.

 

Rome is a thoughtfully designed city that can serve both residents and tourists. Even those without jobs now find it easier to find somewhere to have breakfast, lunch, and supper in Rome, thanks to the churches of Vatican City, especially Caritas, or humanitarian groups. Rome is a welcoming city, and Caritas will assist you in finding shoes and clothing if you are in need.


There are several fashion, pizza, and newspaper stores in Rome that people are accustomed to using to improve their everyday lives. Furthermore, some locations uncover fascinating facets of history that extend beyond the Roman Empire. For example, consider the Middle Ages, when conflicts among Italy's city-states were so frequent that it seemed fitting to fortify even the church.

 

The Colosseum, which has been a popular tourist destination in Rome for many years, is the first place that comes to mind for anyone traveling to or visiting the city. Aqueducts, highways, temples, palaces, and entire towns are among the magnificent structures that the vast Roman Empire left behind. Among them are numerous amphitheaters that have managed to hold onto their previous grandeur and beauty to this day.

 

In addition to the Colosseum, also known as "Il Colosseo," there are several places of attraction tourists can visit. Below are a few of them:

 

Vatican City, the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Cathedral and St. Peter's Square, the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine, the Roman Forum (note the Arch of Titus), the Capitol Museums, the Pantheon, the Castel Sant'Angelo, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Staircase, Villa Borghese (park and gallery), the Trastevere District, the Vittoriano in Piazza Venezia, and several other places.

 

Italians are as passionate about their cuisine as they are about fashion. The world of Italian fashion will show you how to win a man or woman over if you're not interested in fashion. Italian cuisine, ranging from the most basic to the most intricate, is as savory as the people's appealing dress code. Some of the most delicious delicacies to savor in Rome, or any Italian city, are listed below.

Pesto alla Genovese, lasagna, risotto, pizza, pasta, gnocchi, prosciutto di Parma, ribollita, bagna cauda, tortelli, ravioli Fiorentina, panzerotto fritto, arancini, polenta, focaccia, and minestrone, which is my favorite.

The Czech Republic: The quirky customs that baffle the world

 

One of the amazing sites the city of Prague has to offer

Every country in the world has specific characteristics that are entirely typical of it, in addition to its history. The habits and customs of the inhabitants of this country, however, may startle and seem unusual for someone of a different nationality who visits, since their lifestyle and customs are so distinct. What is so unique about the Czech that it frequently seems strange to others?

 

The Czech Republic, sometimes referred to as Czechia, is a country in Central Europe that shares borders with Austria to the south, Slovakia to the east, Germany to the west, and Poland to the north. Prague, the nation's capital, is located in the center of the country and is landlocked, meaning it lacks any coastlines. Since 2004, Czechia has been a part of the EU. In the past, some linguists believed that Czech and Slovak were dialects of the same language because of their similarities.

 

The languages, however, continued to evolve independently after Czechoslovakia broke up in 1993, making it increasingly challenging for speakers of the two languages to communicate with one another. The Czech Republic has a well-established educational system that allows foreigners who speak Czech to attend public universities for free and on an equal basis with locals. The capital, Prague, is also home to international corporations and offers a wealth of career opportunities.

 

According to an interesting history of the nation, on May 28, 1618, 27 Czech aristocrats overran the Old Royal Palace in Prague Castle and hurled two imperial governors and their scribe out of a window. The victims landed in a pile of manure, which was a huge embarrassment, but they managed to escape with just minor injuries.

 

This act of defenestration (which means "throwing out of a window" in Latin) set Protestant Bohemia (now the Czech Republic) against the Catholic invader, Austria, and precipitated the Thirty Years' War. The Habsburgs, the governing dynasty, exacted retribution on the Czechs after they lost the war. Germans held every important position in the government.

 

Prague became a dilapidated town after the majority of the Czech nobility and intelligentsia were compelled to flee the nation. Czech was outlawed and subsequently reduced to a dialect, while German was proclaimed the official language. Had it not been for the dolls, it would have vanished entirely.

 

As a matter of fact, the legislation only permitted the use of Czech at street fairs when traveling actors and their puppets performed in Czech. Crowds of people gathered to watch them because they were so popular. It is believed that the puppeteers and their wooden puppets contributed to the language's preservation in this way.


About the Czech people

 

The Czech people take great pride in their national beverage, beer, which is a staple of the local cuisine. Beer is consumed every day by many individuals of both sexes, especially at meals, and in hot weather, multiple times a day. The average Czech, according to some estimates, drinks more beer than their neighbor, Germany, with an annual consumption of about 143 liters. The Czechs are thought to have the highest beer consumption per capita in the world.

 

Like many other Eastern European nations, the Czech Republic has some circumstances where you must say "no" rather than "yes" or do the opposite. For instance, it is considered rude to enter a house with shoes on, even if the host has advised you not to remove them, and it is not customary for locals to accept a gift on the first occasion. When someone asks, "How are you doing?" It's unlikely that you'll say "I'm great!" right away, as that can be perceived as an attempt to impress. Rather, you ought to state that you're doing well while simultaneously admitting that you could do better.

 

Another peculiar aspect of the Czech way of life is their belief that blowing your nose should be done with vigor. For instance, blowing your nose loudly and noisily in public is a common practice in the Czech Republic. The Czechs have no qualms about carrying out these customs in the most unsuitable settings, including theaters, churches, lectures, and even dining establishments. However, sniffing is regarded as being completely wrong.

 

Although fashion is always changing, some habits are hard to break. For instance, during the hot season, some men wear sandals and socks, which surprises tourists. Large travel backpacks are carried by women in dresses, and during the winter, they pair their handbags with athletic jackets. It is important to note, though, that younger and more contemporary Czechs frequently make fun of these "fashions" and work to counter them.

 

The Czechs, who are passionate dog lovers, place a great value on the image of a dog. They take their pet friends with them to restaurants, zoos, cafes, and even places of worship. Additionally, no one looks down on a customer who brings a dog to a restaurant; instead, they all smile and say, "We have a dog too," and every waitress rushes over to pet the shaggy customer, making sure to bring him a bowl of water.


Best tourist destinations

 

There are many fascinating tourist attractions in the Czech Republic that are well-known for their natural beauty, architecture, and historical significance. Aside from Prague, the capital, which is renowned for its magnificent architecture, including the historic Charles Bridge and the Gothic-style St. Vitus Cathedral. The Astronomical Clock and lively street life may be found in the Old Town Square.

 

The magnificent Český Krumlov Castle and its well-preserved medieval architecture make Český Krumlov a UNESCO World Heritage site. The village offers beautiful views from its location along the Vltava River. Karlovy Vary is well-known for its hot springs and spa culture, and tourists from all over the world come to see it every year for the International Film Festival.

 

The second-largest city, Brno, has a thriving cultural scene with lots of museums and galleries, and is renowned for its modernist architecture, which includes the UNESCO-listed Villa Tugendhat. Another UNESCO World Heritage site is Kutná Hora, which is well-known for the Sedlec Ossuary, commonly called the Bone Church. The town's main attraction is the Gothic St. Barbara's Church.

 

Pilsner Urquell Brewery is open for tours; Pilsen is the birthplace of Pilsner beer. The city is home to the Great Synagogue, one of the biggest in Europe, and lovely squares. Třeboň is renowned for its charming fishponds and lakes that are perfect for outdoor recreation. The town is well-known for its spa services and boasts a picturesque historical core.

 

Beautiful limestone formations, caverns, and gorges can be found in the protected Moravian Karst. A well-liked destination for hiking and exploring is the Macocha Abyss. These locations showcase the Czech Republic's stunning natural surroundings and rich cultural legacy, making for a varied vacation experience.

 

The Czechs' lovely foods

 

There are many filling and tasty dishes in Czech cuisine. These are a few of the most well-liked ones:

 

Svíčková: A marinated beef dish with a creamy sauce made from root vegetables, frequently served with bread dumplings. Usually served with bread or dumplings, goulash is a hearty stew cooked with meat, onions, and spices. Knedlo zelo Vepřo: A mainstay of Czech cuisine, roast pork is eaten with bread dumplings and sauerkraut.

 

Česnečka: A potato-based garlic soup that occasionally has cheese or croutons on top. Knedlíky are flour or potato dumplings that are used as a side dish with a variety of dishes, and kulajda is a creamy dill soup with potatoes, mushrooms, and frequently an egg.

Bagels are the Czechs' culinary nemesis: as they say, "a lifetime on the hips, hours in the stomach, and seconds in the mouth." The most popular bakery item in the nation is bagels, which have a dubious flavor. 


The traditional Czechs still prefer their bagels even if stores are now stocked with a wide variety of delectable breads. They purchase packs of ten to fifteen of these oblong white bread rolls, which they eat within a week.

The Italian men’s elegance fashion code: The power of blue jeans & brown shoes

 

Blue jeans and brown shoes

The combination of blue jeans and brown shoes is amazing and attractive.


It is often said, if you go to Rome, you should follow what the Romans do. I don’t doubt this statement because, in addition to the custom of enjoying their delectable cuisine, whether you are a visitor or a tourist, you will adore and fall in love with the sophisticated fashion world of the Italians.  

 

I firmly feel that the Italians are at the forefront of contemporary fashion, Italian style. Since I've lived in Rome for a number of years, I've been in awe of Italian men's fashion. It wasn't until I was in Italy that I discovered how appealing it was for men to wear fashionable jeans with brown shoes.

 

Since brown shoes and blue jeans go so well together, you will never see an Italian wearing blue jeans with black shoes. All fashion reviewers stand silently in awe of the men's appearance. It is astounding how the Italians skillfully use the newest styles to convey a sense of casual attractiveness.

 

In a variety of conditions, the contemporary Italian style looks great. Since blue jeans and brown shoes are such a lovely combination, I must admit that I have hated wearing jeans with no other than brown shoes, and I am not surprised to see many non-Italian gentlemen worldwide, are dressing like Italians.

 

The sophistication of Italian men's attire not only makes them handsome and gentlemanly, but it also gives them a great deal of self-confidence. Everything they do reflects this inner confidence because in the fashion world, the Italians are never shy. Their posture, speech, facial expressions, gestures, and mannerisms reveal it.

 

You can see Italian guys wearing designer blue jeans and brown shoes on the streets of Rome, Naples, Milan, or any other Italian city. This combination not only looks great, but it also has a chic Italian fashion secret code that makes their girls fall in love.

The glamorous hottest summer fashions of 2025

 

The gorgeous summer wears for ladies and genetlemen.

Nothing makes fashion more appealing and satisfying to ladies and gentlemen than summer, especially with the most glitzy styles of the season. Events, vacations, and beach lovers are all sparked by the summer, and the fashion that goes along with it is truly wonderful. 


We have been kept alert in recent months by the fashion industry's high-profile events, projects, and activities. This year, there are excellent fashion designers, together with competitive summer fashion prospects.

 

Why does summer fashion seem so extravagant? Heavy fashion design coats, dresses, jackets, and shoes are popular in the winter, and regardless of how beautiful one looks in winter clothing, the ability to wear casual, stylish clothing has been taken away. 


As a result, summer fashion is the hottest way to show off those gorgeous legs, especially, the ladies. Men also wear light shirts and trousers to amuse themselves with their partners in restaurants, cafés, open bars, and occasionally at the cinema.

 

The concerning trend in recent fashion shows is that designers have begun showcasing the newest summertime hues, which have not only taken over the entire fashion industry but are also incredibly alluring. 


Men fall in love during the summer when they catch sight of ladies wearing appealing clothing. This is simply explained by the fact that we spend the winter at home and work doing a few things. However, the fashion industry takes a different tack and is happier over Christmas.

 

Every year, the secret to successfully incorporating feminine components into the fashion world blends modern, informal styling with feminine classic aesthetics. This is complemented by the glamour of summer domination. 


Wearing sneakers and simple t-shirts with gorgeously crafted summer hats for men and ladies, paired with beautiful sandals or a simple bag combo, enhances the attraction of summer fashion and gives style enthusiasts a genuinely contemporary and new image.

 

As summer 2025 progresses, it is not hyperbole to state that a wide range of fashion trends have influenced this season. Since social media and storefronts are crowded with dozens of competitive, trendy fashions, it's easy to become lost in the chaotic world of fashion. 


However, many fashion enthusiasts rush to the stores and choose what they find attractive. Even if many have lovely, fashion-designed clothing that they bought the previous summer, they still go shopping every summer.

 

Most women are naturally shy people; however, this isn't the case during summer fashion. Their closets are filled with cheerful maxi and miniskirts, and their airy, light silhouettes draw attention to the waist and give the ensemble a feminine touch. 


They look elegant, beautiful, and attractive, and their sweet perfumes provide a nostalgic touch with romantic summer looks. They go well with matched shoes, skirts, dresses, cotton trousers, or stretched jeans.

 

The secret to successfully incorporating feminine fashion components into one's appearance is to follow the current fashion trend. This season, the summer style that so many people adored has finally evolved into a new, sophisticated foundation rather than merely a fad. 


Sustainability is a major trend in contemporary fashion, and more significantly, companies are moving to more ecologically friendly and sustainable production techniques. Let's enjoy the summer of 2025 together.

The Fashion And Jokes The Coronavirus Came Along With

COVID-19 is a deadly virus that can't be underestimated, but along the way, many have taken it very easy in life with crazy fashions and unexpected events, as if the virus never existed. Frankly speaking, many think the death related to the pandemic is a hoax, made it look real by the media.


There was a time when many thought that the coronavirus didn't exist. The fact that you hardly see someone either sick or collapsing in the city, town, or anywhere but only on the news and television, you hear of the announcements of the number of deaths.


Some people start making fun of the disease with whatever they find amusing, while several funny videos were uploaded on YouTube.' It may be likely that since many from the initial stages didn't respect the coronavirus, led to the high rate of infections today.


But the fact is, the coronavirus is real, and before people acknowledge this to protect themselves or strictly observe the rules to prevent the spread of the disease, COVID-19 will not only kill thousands more people but also ruin the economy of many countries beyond remedy.


The coronavirus fashion is a new craze in many countries throughout Asia, Africa, Europe, and America. Some of the mouth masks are used as bikinis, while some females use them as breast protectors. While all these jokes are taking place, the virus, which doesn't discriminate, is on a deadly spree.

Well, probably making these jokes and fashion from the masks are some of the ways to prevent worries or psychological torture from taking over our lives; however, people need to be serious as well because the jokes are misleading people into not adequately protecting themselves.

How Would You Judge This If A Black Man Does To A White Man?

Police opened fire on peaceful demonstrators in Soweto during the Apartheid era

It is not always easy to look straight into the eyes of some white people and accuse them of trying to kill a black man. But if you are bold enough to tell them, they will never accept it and may even call you a mad person.

So, if a white man can go to that extent to commit such horrible crimes against a black man, then what's its significance? Would you describe someone who deliberately commits a serious crime against a black man as a kind person or someone with the intention to kill you?

Below are deliberate medical atrocities by White people against Africans and African-Americans

Dr. Wouter Basson - popularly known as doctor death

Dr. Wouter Basson - popularly known as Doctor Death.


South African Doctor death Wouter Basson, who was the personal physician of the then South African Prime Minister P.W. Botha, was an African cardiologist and former head of the country's secret chemical and biological warfare project, “Project Coast”, during the South African Apartheid era. 



He is nicknamed "Dr. Death" by the press for his alleged actions in Apartheid South Africa. Basson was acquitted in 2002 of 67 charges in biological warfare cases, after having been suspended from his military post with full pay in 1999.


At the Special Forces SF Pretoria HQ, Brigadier Wouter Basson, a young military doctor, allegedly provides several operatives, above all Johan Theron, with curare-like agents; later, he gives them ketamine [2-(2-chlorophenyl1)-(methylamino)-(cyclohexanone hydrochloride)], a veterinary anesthetic known in South Africa as Ketelaar.


Theron and others inject these drugs into troublesome Southwest African Peoples Organization (SWAPO) prisoners of war to suffocate them, after which their corpses are dropped into the sea from SADF aircraft. Theron killed at least 200 SWAPO members in this fashion, including five who were first put to sleep with Vesparax pills.


With Basson's help, Theron also uses his own colleagues as test subjects by giving them cans of soft drinks and beer into which "sleeping agents" have been injected with a thin needle.


Dubbed “Dr. Death,” Wouter Basson, also called the “South African Joseph Mengele” by the media, was controversially granted amnesty by the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2002, escaping multiple charges of murder, and the commission administered a pill with a substance to make Black women infertile.


For over 50 years, most foreign mineworkers in South Africa have returned to their home countries after retrenchment or closure of the mines without accessing their social benefits. Malawi is one of the hardest-hit countries, with a population of ex-miners estimated at over 50,000.


Malawian ex-miners didn't have access to social benefits from South Africa, while most of them were used as guinea pigs for Wouter Bassons' “Project Coast” for receiving biowarfare microorganisms.


Not only have several nosocomial infection outbreaks occurred in South Africa, but also Marburg/Ebola virus disease (MVD) in Johannesburg in 1975. 


Some years later, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever CCHF occurred near Cape Town in 1984, and Ebola virus disease in Johannesburg in 1996, different names for the same virus, which are genetically identical, ended up in blacks.


British Dr. Wilson Carswell's crime in Uganda and South Africa


Dr. Wilson Carlwell, the criminal that escaped from the hands of the Ugandan government and continued his deliberate Aids infection in South Africa


Dr. Wilson Carlwell, the criminal who escaped from the hands of the Ugandan government and continued his deliberate AIDS infection in South Africa

 

From 1989 to 1990, 1,558,800 batches of tuberculosis vaccine from the Pasteur Institute were administered to Ugandan children, resulting in diarrhea, vomiting, cough, swollen lymph nodes in the armpit and on the neck, stunted growth, crippling, and death.


Dr. Carlswell was then in Uganda when 'The Weekly Topic' newspaper accused CIA agents disguised as scientists and journalists of spreading lies about the origins of the AIDS virus. 


The Ugandan government should expel the so-called experts. Shortly afterward, unknown people ransacked the house of Wilson Carswell, the leading AIDS-research scientist in Uganda, and destroyed his computer together with all the AIDS files after the government discovered his role in the deliberate infection of the Ugandan population with the disease.


Dr. Wilson Carswell, then a member of the British armed forces, escaped with his life. After a short stay with his commissioners in Porton Down, Great Britain, he was able to start up again as head of the Aids unit of the Department of National Health and Population Development in South Africa and continued his deliberate spread of AIDS. Today, South Africa has the highest HIV/AIDS rate in the world.


After completing his medical crimes, he thinks nobody knows about it; he wants the world to recognize him as a great person, so he, therefore, featured this in WIKIPEDIA.


John Wilson Carswell OBE FRCS (born 1937) is a Scottish physician who was one of the first medical researchers to identify HIV/AIDS in Uganda.


He graduated from King's College London with an MBBS in 1961 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1967. He worked as a consultant surgeon at Mulago Hospital, Kampala, from 1968 to 1987, where he became a leading AIDS researcher in the country.


He later served as medical advisor to the Government of South Africa and worked in public health in the United States and Asia.


His experiences in Uganda, where he met Idi Amin, were an inspiration for the character Dr. Garrigan in Giles Foden's novel The Last King of Scotland. His son was the first elected UK Independence Party Member of Parliament, Douglas Carswell.

 

Medical Crimes Against African-Americans in America

The deliberate infection of African-Americans with diseases

The deliberate infection of African Americans with diseases


From 1932 to 1972, the USA Public Health Service carried out a study entitled "Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Male Negro in Macon County," involving 400 dark-skinned men (African Americans) suffering from syphilis, who were deceived into believing that they were receiving effective treatment.



The disease and death of these men were carefully studied. 15 years later, the knowledge from this study was used. From 1986 to 1989, the number of Blacks in the USA suffering from syphilis increased by 132%, while the number of White Americans dropped by 69%. 

The infections of the African-Americans cannot have occurred as a result of sexual intercourse, since at the same time, there was a 23% drop in the rate of gonorrhea, which is sexually transmitted. This reduction in numbers cannot be attributed to a new medication. 

It, therefore, proves a reduction in the sexual spread of agents that can be sexually transmitted. The increased rate of syphilis infections among African-Americans was triggered by other methods. 

The syphilis agents that were spread affect the brain at an earlier stage and are particularly resistant to penicillin, compared with the hitherto existing syphilis agent.

IS SUMMER A SEASON OR A FESTIVAL?


Mini-skirts: One of the fashion temptations during summer

Mini-skirts: One of the fashion temptations during summer



There are only two seasons in West Africa, the dry and the wet, and sometimes the experience of the harmattan, a dry, dusty, cold North-East trade wind from December to February. 

Africa never misses the sun or summer, as it is known among the four seasons in Europe and America, because the sun blazes for nine months, accompanied by rainfall for three months.

Unfortunately, sometimes the rain fails to fall, and when it continues for a longer period, it means impending danger. The reason East Africa is often threatened by the worst drought is. Rwanda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Zambia, Somalia, etc, have all experienced the effects of drought.

The sun in Africa is used to doing many things, including drying washed clothes, preserving foods, and on health issues, good for the skin. Since the sun is very common in Africa, they don’t see or value it as something special, but when summer arrives in Europe and America, it’s like they have seen magic or god.

In fact, summer is just a season, but what accompanies it in Europe and America seems like a season is a festival. Europeans and Americans go crazy with all kinds of dresses and fashions, which may baffle you.

Mini-skirts, the exposure of long beautiful legs and other parts of the body which can steal your attention and put you into temptation are some of the common scenes in the city, shopping malls, restaurants, cinema halls, etc, and at the naked beaches.

Europe is now entering the summer, but just yesterday the beautiful weather brought some fashions that may be stupefied to see. The question is: What are we going to see when summer fully arrives? I will definitely steal a glance, but I hope I will not be caught by any lady.
