I was checking the postcards from the last batch found. I said found because oh, I don’t know why this happened to me again. I was abroad for 1.5 months and when I came home, all I had to do was to SEARCH my own postcards which had arrived during my absence. Because nobody at home cared about my postcards so they were anywhere they could be placed.OK back to this bunch of cards I noticed a neat Venice card but I can’t scan it now because the scanner is still unexistent. But I went to dig out my box (and tell you what, I started grouping my postcards according to country so it’s easier for me to find a postcard again – lol my postcards are well more organized than my bedroom!). Anyways. Venice postcards, so I was counting, and I have actually received 7 Venice all this while hahaha :) Let’s see the views of this breathtakingly beautiful city..
Venice 1 from Lilo. The real Venice, as it pictures here: lots of water, bridges and and people walking. The farthest bridge is called the Bridge of Sighs, because it connects the Doge’s palace to the prisons, so the prisoners used to take their final view of Venice, and sigh when crossing it. Hmm, scary.
Venice 2 from Lilo again. This is the marvellous Piazza San Marco, a famous square with its church Basilica di San Marco.
Venice 3 from Lilo again. A real romantic view with traditional Venerial boat – it’s called Gondola. The small rivers in Venice are called Rio, and the narrow streets are Calle, and the squares are Campo.
Venice 4 from Lilo again. Okay I must admit I was in a mission of seeking Venice postcards back then and luckily had Lilo as my postcard pal. This is another breathtaking view from the Piazza San Marco showing the church Santa Maria della Salute.
Venice 5. Oh how I wish I was in that boat :) This card was sent from old postcard pal Drs_dolittle from Belgium, she bought the card during her vacation to Venice, which according to her it looked like you ended up in a fairytale. Wonderful.
Sigh, I really want to see myself in Venice! Hmm.. *dreaming away*
Hahaha now this is getting more interesting. How could I forget that I used to have the knowledge about Easter Island when I was 7 years old?? :D Okay, it’s fun to read again the article in a simple Malay for kids which I translate into English here.
