Chicago and Saint-Petersburg I went for a walk yesterday and was surprised that Saint-Petersburg looked so strange and new to me. Spending outside it around 8 months, I lost the feeling that this is my city. However, when I was in the USA I frequently thought that Saint-Petersburg is one of the nicest cities I've ever seen. It took me time and distance to figure it out. Every city as well as every country has its own beauty and atmosphere. It seems like Chicago, where I spent more than 5 months, reflects the diversity of the U.S., its various urban landscapes, styles and people. In my opinion, diversity is one of the most noticeable features of the American life. Saint-Petersburg, at least its historical center, looks much more solemn and solid. However, as I mentioned above, if you have a close look, you'll find both of them attractive. Just their attractiveness looks different.

Chicago and Saint-Petersburg

I went for a walk yesterday and was surprised that Saint-Petersburg looked so strange and new to me. After 8 months away it didn't feel like my city any more.  However, when I was in the USA I frequently thought that Saint-Petersburg was one of the nicest cities I'd ever seen. It took me time and distance to figure it out.

I went for a walk yesterday and was surprised that Saint-Petersburg looked so strange and new to me. Spending outside it around 8 months away, I lost the feeling that this is my city. However, when I was in the USA I frequently thought that Saint-Petersburg is  was one of the nicest cities I've ever seen (You're talking in the past tense in this sentence, so better to  put "is" to the past tense "was" as well. It sounds a little awkward using "is") It took me time and distance to figure it out.
