St. Petersburg, Russia - Formerly known as Lenningrad is only a few hundred kilometers from Moscow, but for all purposes, it could be a different country. The people are uch more eager to help with any questions and there are even the occasional smiles that you will see.

Somehow, this city seems to have a better mood than its sister city. Both have had to endure a great deal of punishment from warlords over history, but St. Petersburg has done so with a great outlook and much forgiveness.

Getting around was much easier than in Moscow as there was some sense put into the street planning. Walking down the main road (Nevsky Prospect) is all you really need for entertainment in any night. The restaurants, stores and other activities are plentiful.

Within a few short blocks, we were able to see the heart of the city as there are amazing Cathedrals (St Isaaccs, Church of the Spilt blood) as well as fold shows, and museums.
