I am tired of this negative stuff where even adopting is a horror show. My Favorite place is Petergof, because it is the most romantic place on this earth. The fountains and the gold statues, the cheap people ripping their shirts ove a fence to save $1.5. When I was there, they had dancing and music playing for 2003 Anniversary. Jumped into the jade pool and got soaked. If I ever see Bryanboy, I have to give him hell for not visiting it!!!

The only place I've been are: 1) Nevsky Prospekt 2) Yakitoria 3) Jet Set 4) Palace Square 5) Hermitage/Winter Palace 6) Catherine palace, pushkin 7) Onegin, Opium Grand Hotel Europe 9) CCCP/USSR Cafe/Afterparty 10) Imbir Cafe 11) Cabaret 12) Greshniki/Sinners 13) A Russian Market 14) A couple of supermarkets 15) In front of a Naval Academy and that's about it really I *HAVE* to do the tourist places but it's just hard. I love clubbing and drinking and partying and meeting people and doing some unmentionables... and I need to sleep at least 6 or 7 hours a day and it's hard to go out all night and then go to the hotel at like 7 or 8AM...

For some photos see: http://community.webshots.com/album/174395722NHBqsg Bryanboy I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Russia and that you will return. I go back again in June. My favorite places are the small towns outside of Moscow on the Golden Ring, as well as Novgorod near St Petersburg.

You can climb the stairs to the observation deck and see the whole city from it. http://www.saint-petersburg.com/museums/st-isaacs-cathedral.asp It's difficult to pick and choose -- the whole center of the city is gorgeous.
