Stylish Nights, Dark Days: Venice.
Words by: Scarlett Grey
The young minds of today have
many vessels in which we can
express individuality. For some,
it’s that retro chic fur coat on the
bargain sales rack of a niche
thrift shop, found on the corner
of some desolate street. For
others it's the intelligent
conversation of like-minded
individuals mutually deceiving
each other into thinking we're
geniuses. I've however found the
best way to pass the time is to
travel to those renowned cities
and see the sights, drink in the
atmosphere, curse the pollution
and vow to never return. Of
course places are never as
beautiful, scenic or pleasant as
they're tooted to be. But the
genius is in the experience. For
example when people accolade
Venice as THE place to go, they
forget that it's a port city and smells
like congealed fish 24/7, that the
locals are positively sick of tourists
not following the rules and that for
most of your trip you'll be positively
motion sick in the various water
transportation vehicles. Still, as
mentioned before, it's an adventure.
You'll eat some of the most amazing
food, do the strangest of things and
maybe
even
widen
your
perspectives a little bit more.
In this review I'm going to list a
couple of things you can do in
Venice. One: watch the sky at night...
Not for the stars or the moon
darlings they're almost non-existent
when put next to the glorious
luminescence of the city lights.
Although a good friend of mine
claims that 'gazing attractively at the
not so visible moon and stars whilst
trying really hard to ignore the city
lights, is what stylish young things
like us should be doing.' each to their
own, I say.
During the day simply wandering
around can be immensely satisfying.
If you love architecture and the
aesthetics of buildings, you don't
even need to in anywhere. There is
nowhere like Venice, no two pieces of
its structure are similar, as you'll find
out when you inevitably get lost.
Don't forget to take your maps!! In
between the wandering, you can
grab a coffee in St Mark's Square.
