On May 27 birthday of St. Petersburg is celebrated. This day this beautiful city which at various times was called Petrograd and Leningrad was founded. St. Petersburg is a major economic, scientific and cultural, and also tourist center of Russia, the large transport hub. Among the most significant cultural and tourist city facilities you can call the Hermitage, Cabinet of curiosities, the Maryinsky Theater, National Library of Russia, the Russian Museum, the Peter and Paul Fortress, St. Isaac's Cathedral, Nevsky Avenue.

Been there. Quite an experience !!!

[vekin]

Surely it is! It is my dream to Go there

[HaveNoName]

Are you from Russia?

[vekin]

I am not

[HaveNoName]

Ok. I hope you get a chance one day. Let me warn you, it is not all so awesome over there.

[vekin]

Well no city for 100% awesome

[HaveNoName]

It's not that. It's something about the country in general.

[vekin]

can you explain that?

[HaveNoName]

You have to go there to make your own perception.

[vekin]

I understand!

[HaveNoName]

One thing for sure... when you start seeing everything in St Petersburg (fir example), you realize how tight lipped they all are about saying the truth about their country. Also, they are not very pleasant people. Very uptight. They will never make you feel welcomed. They will only show you and tell you want they want to disclose.

Thank you @vekin. Did you finally go to St Petersburg?

[vekin]

[ChocoLada]

[HaveNoName]

So sad what happened today. What a coincidence we just started talking about it yesterday.

[QuestionMan]

I hope to go there some day.
I've been to St Petersburg Florida though lol.

[jacquesvol]

@QuestionMan
To play bingo? ;-)

[QuestionMan]

@jacquesvol Lol no it was a business trip.
People prefer to come to Florida since it's warmer there rather than Canada.

[jacquesvol]

I'd love to visit the Hermitage museum.

[vekin]

Me too!
by the way Amsterdam has also one, not as great of course but still

[Waffles731]
