You have an eye for the decadent. Isn't St. Petersburg supposed to be one of the most beautiful cities in Russia? Am I remembering correctly that you had not been to St. Petersburg before?
Thank you :) I've been there more than once, and I don't actually like this city much - I perceive it as very depressing, and I think all the raptures over its beauty are exaggerated. It's a city of contrasts, where you turn around a magnificent palace and find yourself in such a dirty corner that you can't believe it's twenty first century. Russian classical writers described St. Petersburg's 'mystique' in a breathtaking way, but there doesn't seem to be much of it left. It's probably just me, though.
