Fashion around the world

This is the last blog from me, I hope you enjoyed my other ones. In this final blog we are going to be talking about fashion and how it varies throughout the world, how it matters more to one country than the other. I feel this is a very important topic hence why I am writing this blog about it. As it is apart of our physical appearance which is very important factor to people in today's society and our lives etc. This is why everyone should have fashion taste if they want to look they're best.

Fashion is a big part of the world and always will be, and research has proven that people spend most of their money on clothes. There so many different websites and apps that have to do with selling, swapping or buying clothes like done deal. Fashion can also be very interesting because of different people that were clothes in different ways. There are so many brands out there to be worn some more popular than others, and some are preferred.
Here are some examples of where the different brands across the world come from:

  • France : Dior, Chanel, Cartier, Louis Vuitton
  • Germany: Adidas, Hugo Boss, Puma
  • Italy: Gucci, Armani
  • UK: Jack Wills, Ted Baker
  • USA: Abercrombie & Fitch, Calvin Klein, Hollister, The North Face, Levi

So as you can see from the examples above that a lot of the most popular clothing brands come from America. Fashion will always change but fashion as in clothing will always be around.

This blog is about the legendary sport that is Rugby. Rugby is only really played at a high level in Europe. America and Asian don't really play it. But there are also teams like Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina which play it.

Unlike in football where clubs and International teams are as big as each other, in Rugby international teams are bigger. In clubs there just the leagues but in international there is the world cup, the 6 nations etc......
In the current world of rugby the most payed player is Ayumu Goromaru he plays for Toulon which is a french side who have a lot of money and a lot of good players. Hes from Japan and plays fullback for Toulon and his national team. Hes born on March 1, 1986 and is 30 years old. He gets paid 1.67 million euros per year plus his add-ons throughout the season.

And the current best team in rugby are New Zealand also known as the all Blacks as they're sports gear is all in black hence the name all blacks known also for there famous Haka dance before a game to try and intimidate their oppenents.

Ireland where I am from have a really good rugby team and do well in rugby, in my opinion our best player is  Jonathan Sexton who is our number 10 also known as fly half but the only sad thing about is that since hes so good a lot of other teams target him in a match to injure him so that he wont do anything or play against other teams for that matter. So he gets injured a lot, which is sad.

Monaco

This is another blog by Lochlann and this one is about the lovely principality of Monaco which is famous for its Casino and money, also known as Monte-Carlo. It is located between France and Italy but does not belong to them. And is in the cote d'azur or the Riviera, it also boards the Mediterranean Sea. It has an area of 2.02km2.  It also has a population of about 38,000. So makes it the second smallest and the most populated country in the world. Also 30% of the population of Monaco are millionaires and has a tax net value of 0% so that means its tax-free. Monaco is a principality which means that the head of it is a Prince, his name if Prince Albert II, he is 55 years old and was born and raised in Monaco as well.

He was also born on March 14, 1958. The Princes wife shes called Princess Charlene and is 39 years old and born on January 25, 1978. She is from South Africa and was an Olympic swimmer for South Africa. The Monaco royal family also have two children a son and a daughter who are twins and where born on the December the 10, 2014 and are currently 2 years old.

The official language of Monaco is Monegasque, its like the way Irish is spoken in Ireland but no-one really speaks it. So since Monaco is basically in France they speak french which is the most spoken language and a lot of Italian and English is spoken as well. The currency of Monaco is also the euro. Monaco is in Europe and uses the euro but is not technically in the European union. There is also a Grand Prix in Monaco which brings even more tourists, which then makes Monaco even stuffier and hotter. The funny thing is about the Grand Prix is that there's not an actual track for it it is just done on the main roads of Monaco which makes on of the most dangerous circuits in the championship.
