Introduction to St. Petersburg
Many think it's a mad city with all that water, fogs, and even the white nights - typical place to get mad and commit a suicide. But it's also very a very inspiring place, many great Russian writers, poets, dancers started to work here. Even nowadays people in St.Petersburg are considered to be a bit more intelligent, smart and polite comparing to Moscovitans.
