Venice

Venice, Italy, is a small and entrancing city, with water, water everywhere, have more great art and architecture per square inch than any other place in the world. Venice actually founded more than a thousand years ago by refugees erecting houses on stilts on mudflats. Today Venice has grown into a city of painstakingly constructed islands, connected by some canals and bridges. This is the only place that without cars or lorries. But they replace canals to be their transport; its stone built sidewalks are elegant and historic.

Venice is a most beautiful city in the world. It is romantic and mysterious, sophisticated and stylish, and they has been claimed by many as the “Queen of the Adriatic”! Beside, Venice also is a place that full of luxurious shopping, an elegant fish-rich local cuisine and centuries of experience in giving pleasure to its numerous visitors.

This is my dream to visit this island. I want to stay there for at least 1 month to feel and understand their culture. I will want this dream to be in real by Year 2011!!!
