Things I have learned so far in my first week in Russia: 1) - TopicsExpress



          

Things I have learned so far in my first week in Russia: 1) people from all the -stans are to Russia what Mexicans and other Hispanics are to the US 2) If you ask a conductor on the bus or tram where a stop is, he or she will keep an eye out for you and tell you when you reach that stop (super nice as surface traffic is nothing short of chaotic) 3) It seems that St. P is a beautiful mix of 3 of my favorite cities, Berlin, New York and Kiev. .. it has the feel of Berlin, esp. the outskirts of the post-Communist sprawl, and many of the buildings are of the same age(both new and old)... the hustle bustle and 24-ness of NYC and all the PEOPLE.. and of course, the heart and emotion of Kiev... and then all wrapped up and sprinkled with a bit of magic and melancholy that makes it Peters city :)
