Oh my god! Today is a great day! It’s very sunny and I’m here at La Serenissima! Lady is riding gondola and merchant are trying to sell fruits to me. I can hear the paddling of gondola and smell the evaporation of the water. I see churches, domes, many kinds of fantastic architectures. The colorings of all buildings are wonderful that make me think this whole town is one peace of rainbow art. I can also see women chitchatting, wearing dress and high heel, but I bet that women are wearing a corset under her dress because there is no way that she can have such slander waist. I’m able to tell the classic of people there, with what they wear and how they speak. High classics people have good manners in even when they talk, but the low classics doesn’t. That makes me a low classic since I don't look like it.

Daughter of Venice
During Renaissance, people were not seen as equal for just being a women. Women didn't had much freedom to go out, or do what they wanted compare to a man. Women had to wear corset, high-heel and veil when they out to look beautiful, but those were for to make sure young ladies to behave properly. Men could go any place or wear what ever they wanted to. The most biggest difference was that women were not able to be educated even if they wanted, but Men were able to be educated, go to university and get a job to gain money for their family. Men were able to choose their fiance or wife by being a suitor, but women were not. Women had to marry who ever men their father chose. If the women didn't had chance to marry, they all have to become a nun and go to the convent, and learn how to play a instrument and also take care of their married brothers children. All these distinction made their life unfair and kick them out from freedom depends on their gender.
