Oh my god, the clothes Yulina and I brought were so not for this trip. Because both of us think that we look like trashbags around here. Everyone walking the streets of Italy are wearing clothes that are so fashionable! For such a normal day! Well, we should have known when we learned Rome was in top ten for Top Global Fashion Capitals in 2012. We also saw everyone wearing sunglasses, which I guess was because the sun seemingly never stops shining in Italy. Right now, we're at the Venice Italy Shopping District, and it's so cool! It's basically paradise for people interested in fashion, and there are SO many shops! There are shops that sell masks, clothes, accessories, food, vegetables, and so much more!

Tuesday, December 29 Leaning Tower of Pisa
Standing beside the Leaning Tower of Pisa is truly intimidating. It feels like the whole building could fall on you any second!
We learned a lot of things about this tower. This tower is a church's belltower. The height is 56.67 meters on the highest side, and 55.86 meters on the lowest. There are 251 steps to the very top of the tower. Its construction started in August 1173, and ended in mid-1399. It took so long because it was interrupted several times by war. We also found it funny how Pisa got its name in 600 BC from a Greek word that meant "marshy land."

Wednesday, December 30
We just celebrated Christmas in Belarus, and it was awesome! The decorations were nothing like I've seen in Taiwan, and they were beautiful!
We learned there are a lot more holidays, other than just Christmas. January 6 is the Epiphany. It marks the 12th and final day of Christmas. A popular tradition in Rome is the la befana, which is a witch on a broom who brings candy and coal to children in their stockings. August 15 is the day that marks the beginning of the ferragosto, a public holiday in Italy. People usually close up shops and go to places like the beach or mountains. Many Italians also go to trips before or after the holiday.
