Thoughts about St. Petersburg People tend to like St. Petersburg usually. Yes, it’s a city with rich history and beautiful architecture. There are many museums, theaters, concert halls, parks and historical buildings in the city. If you a traveler and you lucky enough to be there in summer and catch a good weather – the city leaves a good impression. But live there all the year around is different thing. For me, the main issue is weather. Cold and short summer, gloomy autumn, warm winter (often without a snow) and windy spring. In my opinion autumn, winter and spring there is not so different from each other. In summary, you have 2 month of summer and 10 month of this dark, rainy and windy off-season. Majority of my friends, who went here from other regions have same thoughts. Sometime I joke in my head – why Peter the Great founded the city here? It’s a capital of your country. You will live here, your children will live here. Why he din’t found it in some sunny, warm and nice place?
