Carnival last day

Ok, I can already set up a sensation about the carnival of Venice 2009.
Well, it confirm that Venice is a city to see and not to live. Sundey, the 15th I´ve found myself in Piazza San Marco unable to move forward. Tousend of people, not masked were standing and watching, and carneval is a situation where the people shold be active and enjoy.
No, standing and watching the other, waiting that someone is doing something.
Sad...
Every Bar who was trying to make some music anf lock the people had to stop at 9 pm in order to avoid a big money fee from the local police.
I don´t say that people didn´t enjoy,I´m saying: it happens one time a year, just let the energy out and enjoy carneval....insterad of big happening only in San Marco give some contribute to Venetian artists who can fill and express themselves around 'Venice.
And some music, maybe this time untill midnight...;-)

    Visit per il Carnevale di Venezia 2009 ed è stata un'esperienza davvero magica. Consiglio a tutti di non mancare a questo grande evento. Mi sentivo come se avessi spostato in tempo per l'età d'oro della città.

    I understand what you mean about being only for one night. But the authorities in Venice are very strict because of so much abuse they receive from tourists.
    Image the next day, beer cans all over, trash in every corner, and drunk people in the streets. Sad but true.
    It happens as well in New York.

How to Impress an Italian Guy

What if you’d actually like to ask her to dinner and not feel the sting of rejection? If that’s the case then you need to know a few things about how to impress an Italian girl - some of this stuff will seem pretty straightforward, but other tips here may be surprising to you.

Visiting VEnice is easier than you think. Just go in the offseason.

Venice in the winter is a counterintuitive destinations. There is nothing quite like walking those stone sidewalks in the winter chill with twilight’s soft luminance deepening over the Grand Canal while, one by one, restaurant and trattoria windows begin to glow with a golden welcome. In summer, Venice is wall-to-wall tourists and, on Piazza San Marco, pigeons, too. But in winter the Piazza stands open to the sweeping views memorialized by every 19th-century painter who wandered through town. More to the point, you can get a restaurant reservation without calling weeks in advance.
