    When you walk along Nevskiy Prospekt, at Nr 210, watch for the blue and white Warning Message. This Warning Message dates from the Siege of St Petersburg. The Warning Message says : Citizens! This side of the street it the most dangerous side during artillery bombardments.

    The girls of Saint Petersburg are definitely on a par with all the world's beautiful women... They dress with a distinctive Russian fashion flair that is difficult to categorize... I liked this girl in the short black skirt who was walking in the street alongside the Church of the Resurrection of Christ...

To call from outside Russia dial 7 (phone code of Russia), then dial 812 (phone code of Saint-Petersburg) and than dial phone number. Example 7 + 812 + 112-1122.

    Most weekends during the summer, there seems to be a mass exodus from the city, with Petersburgians going out to their dachas (summer homes) in the forested areas outside the city to relax, pick mushrooms, go swimming, sunbathe, and most importantly - to breathe fresh air. If you are lucky enough to be invited out to a dacha, you should go, it's a nice break from the city. But remember your bug repellent! The mosquitos can be awful.

  • Movie: Ballets russes - Saint Petersburg
    Movie: Ballets russes
    by sennaya

    Here is a recent release, Ballets Russes, a documentary of how Russian ballet got transplanted to France and throughout the world through a group of young ballet dancers who became the darling of the dance world. Great documentary with extensive interviews of original dancers and vintage footage of their adventures aroudn the world. I learned much and have more appreciation for ballet from this movie. The Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg has top ballet festivals and performances. It is available on DVD and is showing in art and independent movie houses.

    What one may think hearing the word - gipsys? Gipsys' camp, dark haired ladies in colored long skirts with a lot of clinging necklaces around their necks, men in red shirts playing the guitar, heard of horses nearby, a big fire.... It's none of the above, at least for me now... They are like all of us, they have the same problems and the same happy moments, they have their traditions and want to keep them, they have their language and pass it over to a younger generation, they are like we are, but maybe they like the live more and know better how to enjoy every moment it gives us...

  • Long way down - Saint Petersburg
    Long way down
    by Incubus30
    Send Photo to a Friend
    I used the metro in this city for a couple of times. The architecture inside is very special and worth a look. Mosaics and emblems adjorn the walls inside the subways. Unfortunately, I did not manage to take a photo of this since it was always very chaotic. Another special feature ,is the depth that the subway is located. The way down is impressive and managed to take a photo of the escalator with my mobile. You can see people reading or even sleeping since it takes around 5min.
