    Saw that last night and couldn't believe my eyes
    Venice is the one of the filthiest places i've been outside SE Asia

    To be able to see the clear water and fish was amazing
    If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

    Yeah, I've been there and it looked like a Anal canal.. Told some old Italian guy standing next to me that it looked like crap.

    His reply "Beautiful Venice - what you talking about ?"

    Unbelievable, They should be called Venetian Blinds.... lol

    Dog shit everywhere!

    I laughed when I saw some of the photos other sites had used (of the Ventian Casino in Las Vegas) where you can drink the water it's so clean.
    As opposed to Venice which was a death sentence if you looked at it for more than 30 seconds without blinking.
    I still wouldn't let that shit get on your skin. I'm not a big believer in feel good environmental stories.
