Carnaval de Venice - Bal Masque, which one do u like?

I'm in the land of masks and hidden identity!! haha Its quite cool seeing the city that everyone says is gonna sink soon with all the wonderful masks around. Personally i think its a conspiracy theory just to make more tourists come to Venice every year :P. Its quite amazing seeing how people are really dressed up for and event like that, even on the train toward venice you can see all the funky dressed up dudes and dudettes.

On a sidenote, the festival actually aims to celebrate freedom of expression and equality where the poor can also dress up and be treated equally like the rich in the past. Coolsz. We should have 1 in Singapore to celebrate zero differences between races. lol

P.S. i took so many shots of mask-ed people that i was quite sian at the end of the trip haha. So guys take your pick choose which outfit u like best hah.

P.S.S really happy i've been able to come on this cool trip (thks dad n mum) such an experience to remember, when will you ever walk in the streets with a fancy mask right ?
