Venice fights against coarse tourists
#1
After a hard fight against pigeons, Venice authorities launched a campaign against uneducated tourists. Every year, the city is visited by about 20 million tourists, and among them there are tourists who behave coarsely with to the local population or show disrespect towards architectural monuments and places of culture.

Giant posters, calling people maintain the streets clean will soon appear in the biggest tourist areas in Venice.
Venice citizens consider it rude if anybody doesn't offer their place in motorships (the only transport mean in this city) to pregnant women and old people. Also, tourists are welcomed to take off their rucksacks on motorships.

Authorities also plan to control non-payers in this public transport. Now tourists won't be able to get on ships without paying the fee.

A group of women, called "City angels" will follow tourists' behaviour and will not allow them swimming in fountains and throw garbage on streets.

Why end? Not at all. People may have fun without massing around the city. The rest should be watched from another point of view. I always respected people who understand that, a foreign city/place/country wants you to show their local behaviour, and not the one from your home.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

I've been once to Venezia. But I should say I've never liked this city. It's very classical. I'm a modern type of girl... I don't understand how people live being surrounded by water, there are almost no roads there, it's awful.
