Saint Petersburg is a beautiful city, you know that pals yourself, right? So I will talk about another side of this city: cloudy and grey.
It was founded by a very tall and weird guy whose name was Peter (we would call him Pekka if he lived in Finland). The guy had pretty small feet for his height and was evidently ashamed of it (who can ever understand these rich and powerful?), so he wore several pairs of woolen socks and huge boots independently of the season, which actually became the reason for his torturer end. Maybe because he was always in a bad mood (how would you feel in several pairs of socks in summer?) or maybe because of his terrible character (some of his buddies claimed it once and again) but he decided to build an absolutely new city but imagine, on the swamp. Crazy you would cry out. But hey, probably the guy had his reasons. Maybe he wanted his huge boots to look more naturally and appropriate or everyone else too happy and too cheerful to become as cranky as he was.
And he didn't make a blunter! The city turned out to be a real disaster and daily pain for all its inhabitants. Irrespectively of the season a normal bag of a sane citizen should always contain an umbrella, sunglasses, a coat, a sun block and certainly a pair of woolen socks. But I would be such a liar if I tell you that the sun block is being used more often than a coat or woolen socks. Of course not, but it is safer always to keep it in your bag if you care to acquire a fantastic Baltic tan, because living in Saint Petersburg, you never know when the sun as capricious as our friend the city decides to pet you. It is definitely the place of natural wonders but you would not be surprised too much, right? Some idlers and rascals who are used to stroll about the streets of our magic city reported to stand on one side of the road and observe rain on the other side. It is a swamp, what do you want?
And yes stop asking me these questions, yes, certainly, it is a very dangerous city, certainly, it is strongly recommended not to go there ever, certainly, it is advisable even to avoid every person who have ever lived or even visited Saint Petersburg. You can recognize those miserable by the terribly green color of their skin, dim tired look, reticence and absolute absence of the sense of humor. Those people who have to make their way to work through thick fog every morning have no time and desire to listen to your "stupid" (as they all think) jokes. Especially it is strongly advised never to speak in the metro, no laughter or smiles are accepted. Even if you notice that you breath too loudly leave immediately, run away, these people have no mercy on those who disturb peace and silence in the most sacred place for all inhabitants, metro! So as you understood people are absolutely beautiful and fun to hang out with. So Peter, good job!
Now several words about the city itself! It is grey and foggy most of the time. You don't want to come here in the winter, because the temperature can fall below zero, low-low below zero. Surely it can sometimes snow but no, usually it doesn't. All roads are covered with ice (it snows, and snows a lot during several days, the next day everything melts and then the temperature collapses and we, inhabitants, are as happy as possible to slide here and there all day long, the most recommended show at this time of the year is girls on high-heels). Spring. No, you don't want to be here during spring! Wet, wet and wet. Autumn, hmmm, maybe from the 25 August to 26 August. Because than it is snowing, melting and freezing. Summer, but why would you want to come to Saint Petersburg in summer anyway? Isn't it time for the Caribbean or Canary Islands?
So tervetuloa Saint Petersburg!
