Carrrrrnival,

Carnival in Venezia is one of the most famous carnivals in the world. Hanna and I went through the narrow streets meeting everything and everyone from horses to elks, Aces to Queens, traditional to modern, Cesars to transvestites. If you are any into dressing up like this... it is definitely your party!

See your way through,

It's winter and I'm used to wet, because snow doesn't appear very often in the cold North either. But I have never met such thick for of fog before. This is what Padova is made of for a few months.

Laced,

Going around the regions, Dino and I got to spend a lot of time in the train. It got into a discussion on what is passion? In the end of the trip, we had a kind of a description. Here's part of it:

"-- A passion can be for a part of a person. Abstract or concrete. Passion is something particular. Passion is a carrot, something that makes life worth living. --"

My monkeys,

The funny thing is that both of these guys were in exchange in my university for half a year and when they left Finland, I didn't know neither of them very well. Now I find myself in the same car going around the Torino area.

Slightly blue Venezia,

Whenever someone asks me about Venezia. I tell them how locally crowded and empty it is. How I've visited it way too many times. But if I would have to put only one sentence out for them, I would say it is beautiful at any weather.

Arsenale, Venezia, Italy.

Merry Christmas!

My mom was thrilled to spend the Christmas out of all the fuzz. The way Christmas shows in Padova is admirable, I admit.. but still I would say people are very talented in making the fuzz for themselves. Go to the wet and wild, and run a little in the fields. It'll be enough to get you on a mood for any kind of party :)

Ciao a tutti,

Hanna got visitors from home so I accompanied them to Venice, once again. This time I want to send some greetings to Quirin to Germany: CIAO A TUTTI!
