Sounds like you had  a great time.  May I ask why you went there? I've always wanted to go St Petersburg. Do you speak Russian? Welcome back.

I went to visit the children's home I worked at last year, teach a bit of English, help out generally ,that sort of thing. I do speak Russian - not perfectly but quite well!
Definitely go to St Petersburg if you ever get the chance, it's a gorgeous city!
