Venice a City in Five Images

5 aspects that make Venice what it is.

1. Brick Restoration - Brick restoration is a very important factor that must constantly be addressed in Venice as it keeps up the buildings. With the bricks wearing away they are in need of restoration so that they can become stronger and support the buildings.

2. Flooding - The water rises and a few centimetres can determine whether or not it will be flooded. The water laps over the edges and can make the paths very wet and this can be dangerous for pedestrians. When the sea level rises even a few centimeters the water will begin to flood and can determine whether or not you go out in flip flops or rubber boots.

3. Sewarage - Sewerage is a very big thing in Venice and it all works through pipes under the paths. They are constantly being compromised by the water eroding the rocks which can damage the pipes. The pipes then have to be fixed but this is easy as the pathways in which the pipes go around sometimes need to be fixed and the pipes can be fixed at the same time as the paths.

4. Bridges - They connect the roads so that people do not have to walk as far. The bridges are very intricate and sometimes are built at angles so that they can meet with the other paths. They range from wooden bridges to stone bridges. Wooden bridges are cheaper and easier to repair if they are getting to weak. The stone bridges are difficult to repair as sometimes the keystones shift and major repairs must be done. 

5. Building Techniques - There are many building techniques in Venice when building the homes. They have to be aware that the buildings will move while on the water so they build them with walls that have leeway to movement.


Part 2. Bangkok


Tuk Tuks.

This is one of the things that make Bangkok and Thailand what it is. It is one of the easiest means of transport there and it is quick and cheap. It is easy to find a Tuk Tuk as they speed around and usually sit outside tourist attractions waiting for anyone that needs a lift. They are fun and are definitely something that make Bangkok what it is.


Markets.

The markets in Bangkok are great and they allow for you to experience what Bangkok has to offer first hand. They sell many types of goods from jewelry to other clothing and many accessories.


Food stands.

The food stands that are scattered around Bangkok all have amazing foods to offer varying from different meats to deserts. They give you a unique way of eating foods to which you would not be able to experience at    a restaurant.


Shopping

If you don't like shopping in the markets then there are plenty of malls that you can visit. They offer many great shops that are have great prices. There are many different accessories to that what you would find in Australia.


Nightlife.

The nightlife in Bangkok changes dramatically to that of during the day. It is a lot more exciting with live shows and music being the main shows. The lights come on and it is a very different experience.

These are 5 of the things that make Bangkok a very unique city and there are many more.
