WEATHER MEMORIES IN THE WARMTH OF VENICE

Original text by Putu Fajar Arcana; executive summary by darmansjah

In a milestone, the north Arsenae, a girl was sitting. Aphone in his hand. He could not stop staring at dinghy sailing toward the shipyard. Perhaps there isa part of his soul that also swept away in the torrential flow of the canal. I do not know ...

I tried looking for the most romantic angle to capture the event. She remained engrossed bask in the warmth of the summer sun. Not far away, a pair of teenagers sitting side by side on the banks of the canal while looking at distant sky Venice, Italy, late last May 2013. There was no conversation. Just the girl smiled when she realized someone was perpetuating itself. There are moored, such as rolls of rope vaporetto (water bus) is thrown into the harbor edge. Palpitation like that every time the wind flow to slit the small canals that separate the old buildings in this town.

VENICE is like a teenage girl who is always, spoiled, and without a struttingdandy was alwayscharming. Since along the Canal Grande from Pizzale Rome, a small port in the western citycenter of Venice, has been more clearly etchedin my heart that the city offers a unique and captivating experience.

Building walls along the canal looked left"conversation" as a close with small waves ever climbed. Sometimes it water taxi, which sent shock waves speedingthen smash the walls of the city. No one iscomplaining. Peeling left wall until you seea red brick asmeat. This combined with a view of the city in the summer skybrightness, which is then perpetuated by streetartists. We can take it as a souvenir with pocket money reached 50-75 euro. Quite expensive forthe size of the rupiah. However, memories of much deeper than just a matter ofcurrencies instead?

Every day from the city Maestre, in the western part of Venice, I had to take 30 minutesto arrive atPizzale Rome, the nearest port, separately and thenheaded Arsenale, where aworld event is underway. At the counter, we can choose to buy ticket lasts12 to 72 hoursat a price of 18-35 euros. I chosea duration of 24 hoursto buy tickets for 20 euros.

Duration calculation is important to note because if it passes the time tickets can no longer be used to hitchhike vaporreto. This is the most friendly transport water and used a lot of tourists who visit Venice. Compare the price of water taxi, with the same Pizzale Rome until the Arsenale, the meter could reach 100-150 euro. It's dangerous if you run out of pocket money in a far country.

Arsenale complex form of 45 hectares of the former shipyard, in the eastern part of Venice, Italy. Since the end of May to 24 November 2013, this location became the world's attention. A warehouse complex built in 1104 which is expected to be an important event 55th VeniceBiennale. Venice Biennalenone other events biennial art exhibitions in the world's oldest, which involves hundreds of artistsfrom around the world. This year Indonesiasent envoys officially five artists to show search perkembangnaaesthetics in our country. At least that's the first time the government dare torent a space of 500 square meters worth over2 billion dollars for the period of threemonths of usage.

High walls

Arsenale on a typical day was more of the former shipyard obsolete. Her walls areexceeding 5 metersalready chipped inhere and there. However, the government allowed this to be ktoa Venice city attraction.
That exfoliate as scraping the wall-scraping along the wall time. He is like a stamp of history that exposed centuries ago.

Every two years, in which the then VeniceBiennale repeatedly held, dozens of valuablespace in them is very high. Dozens of countries, if you want to exhibit with any motivation, must beequal to the rent for the Indonesian governmentpaid. That waythe Venetians put a price on what they've got.

Before reaching the Arsenale, if we sail from Rome Pizzale, may go downin San Marco. This is the city centerwhere there is a sort of "square", called the Piazza San Marco, which is thensurrounded by shops. On one side there are Basilica di San Marco, a beautiful cathedraland a solid standing since 832. If you want to enjoy the architecture and classical paintingson display in it, must be patient in line. From morning to evening, at the end of May 2013, travelers linelike never subsided. No need to pay, willingnessJust asked notto bring bags intothe building.
I do not know. My mind remains on a milestone in the northern part of the old Arsenale shipyard complex. May not find it as quickly as any girl I walked over there. Day has gradually dusk although the sky was still light I do not know. My mindremains on a milestonein the northern part of the old Arsenale shipyardcomplex. May notfind it as quickly as any girl I walked over there. Day has gradually dusk although the sky was still light. However, the rest of the clouds insome corners caninstantly fall as rain. I have to go back toMaestre. Let him livein the memories and the warmth of the weather Venice.
