Time to go jump in a puddle!

Winter's definitely descending upon us here in Venice but that's no threat to the devote art lover. We are still getting a steady stream of visitors - even on rainy days! The long Ascension Day weekend also saw a record number of visitors, only second to Opening Day early in the year.

As we approach another long weekend on the week starting the 21st, we brace ourselves for more record-setting days. Always great to meet new people from all over the world at our humble pavilion :)

In other news, we also brace ourselves for more 'acqua alta' as we go on our hunt for rain boots. I got lucky at lunch yesterday and found myself this nifty pair of boots at a good bargain (by Venice standards)!

Taking them out for a walk later, possibly in search of a puddle or two!

The weatherman says it's gonna pour but he doesn't scare me!
Not with these rain boots he won't!

 Yes! The latest and the last batch of custodians for the Singapore Pavilion has arrived! It's almost a week since our start at work and we are absolutely fortunate and proud to be here. Like to share a welcome greeting from Venice on our first week,

Yeah while things are really wet and getting chilly here, it's also a lovely place. Art on the exteriors, interiors and landscapes created by the island skyline of Venice, captivates many shutterbugs around.

Guess who came today, we had Tzu Nyen's family members coming down to support!

Our artist's parents and family members turned up at the Singapore Pavilion despite the rain and cold! 

More updates to come on other pavilions, food, escapades and images of Venezia

Ciao~

Anna: I was going to take English Literature, it’s divided into three parts, the first part is about Byatt. She’s still alive, so it’s not really important anyway.

Joey: Maybe we can go to Bologna tonight since its our day off tomorrow. Seems like they've a lot of thrift shops there.

Kisha: Just because Bologna has a lot of thrift stores doesn't mean the hotel is thrift.
