The festival that l've enjoyed most takes place in a

night, but I went to bed earlyish because the real fun
began the next day.

1was dressed and ready before five-thirty. Everyone

wore white T-shirts and a red scarf around their

On the mountainside there was a smali church, and
there was a service in the church, but I didn't go
inside because there wasn't room for everybody.
Anyway, it was better to be outside because after
the church service, the battle began. Everyone had
red wine. Some people had it in botas - containers
made of animal skin - some had plastic bottles,
some had filied balioons with wine, someone even
had a huge thirty-liter container on his back. And
you just throw it over anyone who is near you -
especialiy if someone's T-shirt is stili white! Ali the
time, there were brass bands playing music and
people were dancing, running around, throwing
wine everywhere. Awesome! lt ali lasted about two
hours before we had breakfast - snails cooked on a
barbecue and a kind of champagne to drink.
After that, there was a procession back to the town,
with everyone's T-shirts now pink. ln the afternoon,
everyone goes to the buliring, where they have

important?
Dr. Lee: Absolutely. Our sense of taste and smell
is at its best between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m.,
so it's not surprising that many people
have dinner at that time.
Presenter: Does that mean that I shouldn't eat later
in the evening?
Dr. Lee: No, not necessarily. But the stomach
doesn't work well at night, so it's best to
eat earlier. However, the liver tends to
work better after about 8:00 p.m.,
so that's the best time for alcoholic drinks.
Different parts of the body work better
at different times of the day. The skin,
for example, grows most during the night
between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., so it's
important that we don't goto bed too late.
Presenter: Are there any other important times
we should know about?
Dr. Lee: Well, at the start of the day, the number
of white blood cells you have is low,
so that's not a good time to meet people
with contagious diseases.
Presenter: Oh, 1'11 try to remember that!
Dr. Lee: The best time for remembering is early
in the afternoon. This is when the body
is slow, but the mind is quick. lf you're
learning a foreign language, for example,
this is the time to do it, but leave your
physical exercise until later, towards
4 or 5 o'clock. lf you want to play a game
of tennis, do it after you've learned your
irregular verbs!
Presenter: OK! And when's the best time
for interviews?
