Just got back from three days in St Petersberg.
Amazing city, unlike any other I've been to. So much history and stuff to see. It's bizarre, you'll be walking down the street and see some sort of amazing palace type building that would be a main attraction in any other European city, and it's a post office, or a supermarket or some shit. At one point we saw this huge palace that we had to look in the book to name, and it was literally not worth crossing the road to look at because we had palace fatigue.
