Rules & Regulations

For the last three weeks I’ve been checking my buzberry e-mail (ajk@buzberry.com) and simply found NOTHING, no one even bothered emailing; then BAAAAAAMMMMM!! There it is on the 7th of February 2007 I received the first email, a friend requesting me to post his email on our site. Since it was the first e-mail, I thought that no matter what the article was about I would share it with you, but after reading it I actually thought it was pretty interesting, take a look:
While some cities prohibit smoking in public areas and others (Singapore) ban chewing gum, Burano, a small island in Venice (Italy) enforces that every house should be of a different exterior color. And get this YOU DON”T GET TO CHOOSE the color of your OWN house. The mayor of this small village is the person who chooses which pastel color to apply on your home in order to maintain the harmony.
On the other hand, Vienna, the capital of Austria has different rules. And what are they you may wonder? Most of their buildings share this rule. Each floor of the same building should have windows of different shape. While some people believe that similarity is what makes things beautiful, others believe that distinction shows true colors.
