I was craving soup for days so we went into this Chinese restaurant and ordered 2 bowls of soup at €2.40 each, but our bill came to more than €11... Turns out we have to pay for seating fee and water transportation fee... And the tea wasn't free either! Grr!!

I can't really say Venice is my favorite city. There's nothing other than churches to see there, and the narrow streets and canals are almost claustrophobic. It is unique with its canals, but I like a similar city such as Amsterdam a lot better.
