    Rules on Arriving in Venice

    The Do's and Dont's of preparing for the Biennale as experienced by yours truly- Foodie, connoisseur of all things beautiful and recent M.Arch grad, Diana Tsai. 

    1. When packing for a Biennale place all drill bits, blue tape and scales in checked baggage
    2. When bringing bags of modeling foliage through security it is best not to carry it in a transparent plastic bag
    3. Don't tell children under 5 you have candy before a 10hr flight
    4. Catch up on airplane movies and studio gossip (because let's be real- we've all been thesis zombies for the last month)
    5. Take a water taxi from the airport; all 24 pieces of luggage included to the grand canal, have the bellboy bring in all the luggage to realize the driver dropped you off at the wrong location- well that's one hotel you can never go back to...
    6. Make friends with your landlord, but don't pay $20 to duplicate your key.
    7. Find the best gelato places and save to Google maps
    8. Try to unpack your suitcase, but ultimately pass out- thanks Obama jetlag...
    9. Follow my Venice adventures as we set up the 2016 US Pavilion, The Architectural Imagination, at the 2016 Venice Biennale. Also follow my instagram @dianasaurasl2ex for more Venice shenanigans.
