I heard that our first snow is going to be this weekend. So, you'd better hurry up and get one.What do you think of the coat that man is wearing? I like that style, but I am not sure how it would look on me. I'm tired of all the black colors filling my closet and I do hope to get something brighter this winter.

What's the most efficient way to get around downtown? I want to go sightseeing for a short time before I leave for the airport.There are really only two options, by the city tram or on foot.

It would probably be better to just walk, wouldn't it?I think so. You can get to the river and the downtown shopping area easily. However, the art museum is too far away.
