Italian: sure venice number one i like that city so much i have been a couple of times and i realized that it's uh much more better if you go there during uh some working days from monday till friday actually not friday thursday and to go there uh at uh early in the morning at sunrise or later in the evening uh and watch um the sunset uh venice is the most magical city in the whole world i like it so much and uh if i have to choose a city where to go right now and just to take my passport and to go straight to the airport i would uh choose venice

Eastern European: mm that sounds nice

Italian: and you

Eastern European: well i was in venice like i think uh five or six years ago yes i really liked the place but um i think for now it won't be one of my favorite holidays um because i didn't um have much time uh to um walk through the city we were only for a day uh but i can say maybe uh my last uh holiday was in spain i really had a good great time there are many uh uh museums and cathedrals uh that you can uh see there and i would uh really love uh to go again uh to see uh the parts that i already miss and i really um love um going uh shopping in uh germany for example uh i really like uh following fashion uh buying nice clothes and uh what about you which country you prefer and what kind of style do you prefer uh do you like um everyday fashion and um how young people dress uh nowadays or uh wha what is your opinion about that

Italian: um i like the everyday fashion because uh the young people are getting to mm to dress more casual so it's very comfortable for a girl or a woman uh dressing uh in a skirt or uh a dress uh combined with some sneakers uh you can go everywhere with this combination uh not only uh out for a drink but you can also wear this combination to work uh i like casual style a couple of years ago i used to to dress so elegant but uh i was al always with high heels but uh i don't like high heels anymore uh as i'm getting older i'm using i'm used to wear more sneakers so i like the styles uh that style so much so depending on on like of the occasion i will for sure wear high heels but um nowadays i'm not wearing uh them so much uh i also like uh sports style so i like when i'm uh jogging to wear my wearing the running shoes uh wearing uh some sports top uh and some leggings um but most of the time as i said i'm um dressing uh casual and uh also i like so much shopping i think um italy and paris for the shoppers

Eastern European: mm hmm

Italian: um once i have been in uh actually i have been uh twice in uh milan i like the city so much and uh i was there for the sales period so i used to buy so many things that were so much cheaper than uh here uh and uh it's very good that we they were with uh high quality materials meet so i really hope to go there once more and to do a very good shopping i really miss shopping uh these days and what about you what's your style and what uh what do you wear uh where do you want to do shopping

Eastern European: well i love casual style especially sports style i i don't like wearing heels maybe i haven't worn them for years i really love uh wearing uh sneakers uh jeans and casual dresses everything and oversized clothes um i don't like uncomfortable clothes and i really love shopping especially when there are sales because um i don't want uh to spend uh much money for something that i can buy later on sale

Italian: yeah me too

Eastern European: and i also love to buy um skin uh skin products i really enjoy and i love taking care of my skin uh especially in summer because it requires special treatments um and um maybe they're a little bit uh more expensive than some clothes but i think that the skin routine is uh the most important especially in those uh summer days and um i really love uh buying um uh sale and i uh sale clothes and the products and i would um uh list germany as one of um the most um the best countries when you ge where you can buy really nice products for uh really reasonable prices and what about you uh do you spend uh much uh or ma m much money uh for skin routine and uh do you usually find uh sale products where you mentioned

Italian: yeah <overlap>

Eastern European: that you wanna go shopping

Italian: yes i'm always doing some shopping when uh it's uh summer or winter and where when the sales uh starts i don't like spending the whole uh sum of price for one product uh because um i can find cheaper uh i also like to like uh searching on the internet there are a lot of uh web pages uh you can do some online shopping instead of going uh in the uh in the store and uh usually on the web you can find uh some cheaper products for example twenty or thirty percent uh cheaper than uh products in the store so i usually wait for the sales <no-speech> the shopping i also like spending uh money on skincare it's very important for me uh 'cause we all want to have uh good skin uh so i'm not buying so much makeup i'm more investing abou in cleansers in toners in creams uh i'm not doing so much makeup i'm uh trying to do uh as uh many as i can uh from time on time i like to do uh to my makeup to be done by uh some makeup artist but not so much at home because uh they're doing they're putting so much of uh their products uh i also like uh wearing and buying some jewelry i'm always uh wearing um a ring and uh yeah actually the ring is one of my favorite uh jewelry and the earrings which i have forgotten them i love so much earrings and you

Eastern European: mm that's great well from

Italian: yeah

Eastern European: jewel from jewelry i li i love just uh uh no i don't like uh earrings uh that much um i don't usually wear them i prefer uh not to wear them um most most of the time because when i'm doing sports um i i don't feel comfortable which uh with the jewelry on me and i put uh very little makeup uh so i usually find inspiration for all this stuff and buying from uh the social media uh i watch uh tutorials like uh for clothes for makeup for for jewelry but um at the end i choose uh what uh do i wanna buy and what i don't uh really wanna buy and uh i usually watch um food tutorials and uh lately i really love uh to cook uh and to try new recipes uh to cook healthy meals um especially uh now to um and i usually write uh down on screenshot the recipes and uh i think that the social media especially instagram is uh one of my biggest inspirations for for all this uh stuff and what about you do you uh want to um make experiments with new uh recipes or you just um uh cook your regular meals like you you you you used to do every time
