Would you like to change your city? Would you like your city to be cleaner and safer?

Personally, I would like my city Saint-Petersburg to be cleaner. Honestly, I think that Saint-Petersburg is cleaner and safer than some European cities. Usually, travelers from Europe personally tell me about this situation but a lot of people who have never been to Russia think that It’s the most dangerous place in the world. What do you think about these kind of stereotypes? My opinion is that it is very important to visit and to fill your eyes with the city or country before you’ll have an opinion about it.

Saint-Petersburg is the most beautiful city in Russia and also usually we don’t have a lot of traffic jams here like in Moscow, for example. Anyway, I live in the center of the city and I’d like to change the amount of pollution, the quality of the water in the main river – Neva and the air quality. A long time ago it was possible to swim in the Neva but It’s impossible now. It would be nicer perhaps if the numbers of cars were decreased in the centre. We have the most beautiful subway in the world here so people will be able to use subway to get to their works in the center. It would be possible to change the laws if people were thinking more about the environment. Also I’d like to change the weather but there’s not much I can do about that. Sometimes it’s terribly cold and wet here. Sometimes we don't see the sun for weeks. By the way, what would you like to change in your city?

Finally, I’d like to say that I really love my city. It’s beautiful, historical and interesting. It’s one of the most pleasant places I’ve ever been to.

Maria, you are so right on so many points. You can't swim in the Seine in Paris either (well, you could, but it wouldn't be a good idea!!). I have visited Saint Petersburg (in the summer!!), but it was called Ленинград then. The beautiful architecture seems to go better with the name St. Petersburg. And, just the other day a friend of mine had seen a documentary about how beautiful St. Petersburg subway stations were. And, you know, I think that Canadians are more reluctant to give up their cars for public transport than Russians are - everything is relative!!
