My Favorite Bracelet

I have a favorite bracelet that I bought two years ago. I went on a vacation with my parents and they asked me to go to Malioboro. When I saw the bracelet shop, I immediately went in. Since I like butterflies a lot, I chose one that caught my eye.

My bracelet has a simple design. It is dominated by black and brown colors. It has many brown wooden butterflies with black beads among them. The black rope can be pulled and loosened to adjust the wrist size. Sometimes when I wear a bracelet, it makes my hand itch. But this one is different; it is really comfortable to wear. The rope is also easy to be pulled and loosened.

The price of this bracelet is cheap, but I really love it. I wear it every time. I once cried when I took off the bracelet and I forgot where it was. My mom found it the next day and I was very relieved.

Venice is a city in northern Italy. It has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.

Venice is world famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old centre, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot.

You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city’s islands. The city has many private boats.
