My Favorite Places


There are two places that I want to visit the most. Venice, House of Juliet in Verona, and France. I will explain the reason why I really want to visit those places.

First, Venice is a beautiful city located in Northeast Italy. Venice is the one of Europe;s most romantic city. I think Venice is really unique because it is surrounded on all sides by water. They use gondola for transportation. Those gondola have been used as transport more than 10 centuries. There is a fun fact about gondola, only 3 or 4 gondolier licenses are issued annually. To qualify, applicants must be able to finish an extensive training after passing a rigorous exam. There are only 400 licensed gondolas operating in Venice today. I think it's a good rule to keep gondola's passengers still safe. Really different from Indonesia, we can buy our driver license. we just pay and we get our drier license without test. So sad. If I have an opportunity to Venice, of course I will rent a gondola all day long. I will take pictures in every single places. But, dont you ever try to come to Venice in rainy Season because there will be a lot of mosquitos

Second, House of Juliet in Verona. I'm fallin in love with these place when I watched "Letter from Juliet". I will tell you short history  of House of Juliet. These house was build on 13th. These house was owned by the family Dell Capulo. Verona bought House of Juliet from Dell Capulo family in 1905. Due to the similarity of their names they declared the house to be the family residence of the Capulet family(Juliet Family). Then, they added the balcony to attract tourist. So, these house has no connection with Shakespears story. In courtyard, there were a thousand of small scraps of paper which cover the floor to the ceiling. All who write down their love vows to their partner and stick them on the wall will stay together with their partner for the rest of their lives and will be very happy.Inside the house, there is a small museum all the thing in museum is authentic from 15th century. There is one thing that makes me really excited is if we touch the right breast of Juliet in courtyard, it will bring luck to all who are trying to find their true love. I really want to try that, maybe aftre I touch her breast I will find my mr.right.  I wish I have a chance to go to my favorite place with my family.
