Venezia an orginal city !


Venezia is situated in Italy at the seaside Adriatique. In Venezia, there are more canals than streets. Indeed, Italians walk around the street with Gondolas. There are almost not cars. Streets are so narrow that people can't take their cars, they must take their boat.
Moreover, Venezia is the best-known city for its carnaval. At this time, Italians disguise themselves and take a huge ride in the city. It is wonderful to see it, that is why visitors come to Venezia in order to take beautiful pictures of this carnaval. There are plenty of colours during several days.
Of course, Venezia (as all city in Italy) is famous for its food. They can eat pasta, pizza and so on. Beside, if they decide to eat outside the restaurant they have chosen, pigeons may steal some of their bread.
The "Basilic Di San Marco" is very popular in Italy,because Italians are really regilious, they are Christians, that's why it is important for them to have a huge place to pray. In addition, this Basilic is on the "Piazza San Marco", which is very famous in the world. This is a long and large place where Italians sell some specialities of Venezia like masks for the carnaval or fans.

To my mind, Venezia is the most famous city of Italy.

Johannesburg is the capital of South Africa.

The food in this city is very delicious. The language in this town is the english but it's very difficult to understand because the people who live in this city have a big accent.
Nelson Mandela is a very famous because he have "save" his contry of the racism...
This is really the city of Gold and Diamonds. Its a very small province of South Africa but the richest.
