for some reason i forgot to mention it in teh piter post but the thing that made me know that st petersburg was going to be sick was the first person we conversed with.
when we were queing for our metro tickets a tramp comes up to us and asks us in russian if a tourist could lend a man some change, and in reply i say, also in russian, we're tourists, i live in st petersburg, for some reason this confused him so much he kept repeating whilst holding his head 'i dont understand, i dont understand...'
2 minutes later he comes back and starts speaking to us in perfect english, 'but u are amricans no?', no, 'but at leats english speakers', yes, we tell him, from england. oh i see he says, and walks off.
i guess you had to be there...
