We asked these people about their typical Saturday. Here's what they said:

I don't like getting up early at the weekends so I usually stay in bed late – sometimes until about 10.30 a.m.! I absolutely love having a big breakfast on Saturdays. I can't stand going to the gym or doing exercise but I sometimes go for a walk in the afternoon. I quite like meeting friends in the park or just lying on the grass and doing nothing. I'm not very keen on going out on Saturday evening. I stay in and chat on the phone and get a take-away pizza.

Maria Stroinova, Moscow, Russia

I really hate doing nothing so I get up early on Saturdays and start the day by checking my emails. I really like meeting friends and having breakfast in a cafe, so I catch a bus into town at about 9.00 a.m. After breakfast, my friends and I sometimes go to an art gallery in Hermitage. I'm quite keen on most kinds of art so I don't mind which gallery we go to but my friends really hate modern art that's why we often visit Hermitage but we don't lift on the top floor, where expressionists are exhibited. I do different things on Saturday evenings. I sometimes have dinner with friends or I stay in and watch TV.
