Leaning Tower of Pisa

We had Chinese meal for lunch at Venice. So it's nothing different. But after the gondola experience, we were taken to a local restaurant. 

We had spaghetti! Very simple yet so scrumptious. 

Before we left Venice, we got to see the Venetian Glass Blowing.

On the third day, we traveled all the way to Pisa. One wouldn't want to miss the leaning tower of Pisa.

Italy is definitely full of statues.

Here's the best place to take a shot of the leaning tower.

But due to the crowd, we didn't get to climb up the tower.

The tower is simply amazing!

    Did you buy any glass products in Venice? They are very exquisite. The leaning tower of Pisa, I also did not go up the tower when I was there. I heard they only allow people to go up until a certain level only, not sure how true this is.

      I didn't buy but my sister bought two colorful wine glasses.
      It would be nice if we got to climb up the tower.

    The spaghetti may look simple, but guess it's delicious coz that's what they eat best there hor.. Yep, the tower of Pisa is not something to be missed.. Usually people will pose as if they are "carrying" the tower on their back, or trying to "stop" them from falling kinda poses.. Cute..

    I saw the Tripadvisor's reviews about the leaning Clock Tower in Teluk Intan. The guy said - A lousy duplicate of the Pisa Tower in Italy. I was stunned to see him think it was deliberately cloned.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
