to the left is a nifty picture by Joel Yuen.. of two little men furiously paddling away on a gondola.

Note: his brilliant use of sepia toned color effects.

I love how the normal mode of public transport in Venice is by Vaporetto.. which is essentially a big boat. It is quite fun.. and there are many panic attacks to be had on this not so cheap mode of transport.

Its going to be very strange having to come back to the real world. I haven't seen a car, bicycle or motorbike in about three weeks.

Due to the very bad reception.. the only TV show available is BBC world and sometimes (if lucky) some dodgy pay for porn channel. I don't usually watch that much tv.. let alone the news. Newspaper's or my MAC background.. which contains an RSS feed of the New York Times headlines.. are the only things that keep me updated with the jiggle of our planet. Nevertheless, I was shocked after watching the news. It is ridiculous how impartiality is blatantly ignored on broadcasted news channels.

So.. I have given up on BBC world.. and have found amusement through Italian radio-stations.

Quite a funny thing happened today. Da Wu tried to toast bread in the micro-wave. ( our flat lacks lots of basic amenities.. so we have been improvising.. for survival). Well as it turns out.. the bread started to burn. He got soo nervous about it.. and just left the charred bread in the microwave.
The flat is smelling a bit funky these days.

Looks more like our interns furiously paddling on the gonola trying to catch the Vaporetto or they have found an easier and faster mode of getting to the palazzo.
