Chasing After Rainbows

Places visited (11 June): Binale sites. Former republic of Slovakia, Korea art museum Second day in Venice. Went to the supermarket to buy more food supplies, and walking through the streets that range from being at the two sides of the river, to random dark and narrow pathway that oddly has a lot of people walking through it. As if encountered by accident, I stumbled upon Iuav University of Venice (Università Iuav di Venezia; IUAV), probably the only college there.

So that should also mean that people who were in this school at the time the transformation happened should be in the books between two to four years ago. I wonder if I can ...
