Burano Travel Information and Pictures
May 5th, 2010 by Ralph McMillan
If you need a daily trip from Venice or Murano, you can choose this small island in the Venetian lagoon. Island of Burano is 35-40 minutes by ferry from Venice. You feel like travelling in a “Lego City” by the inspiration of the houses with delicious colours and the size of the houses. It is said that the houses were painted different colors out of the fishermens’ aspiration to see their own houses far from the sea.
Lacemaking is the one traditional occupation of the Burano people. They also gain their living almost totally from the Fishing, but before tourism boost.

Qatar Background: Ruled by the Al-Thani family since the mid-1800s, Qatar transformed itself from a poor British protectorate noted mainly for pearling into an independent state with significant oil and natural gas revenues. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Qatari economy was crippled by a continuous siphoning off of petroleum revenues by the Amir, who had ruled the country since 1972. His son, the current Amir HAMAD bin Khalifa Al-Thani, overthrew him in a bloodless coup in 1995.
In 2001, Qatar resolved its longstanding border disputes with both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. As of 2007, oil and natural gas revenues had enabled Qatar to attain the highest per capita income in the world.

Mumbai: earlier known as Bombay, is the largest city in India and the capital of Maharashtra state. Mumbai was originally a conglomeration of seven islands on the Konkan coastline which over time were joined to form the island city of Bombay. The island was in turn joined with the neighbouring island of Salsette to form Greater Bombay. The city has an estimated metropolitan population of 17 million (2005), making it one of the largest cities in the world. Mumbai is the only major city in India which has the largest slum population. Mumbai is also one of India’s largest port cities and looms large as the commercial capital of India. Mumbai’s nature as the most eclectic and cosmopolitan Indian city is symbolized in the presence of Bollywood within the city, the centre of the globally-influential Hindi film and TV industries.
