I am an "old sailor", served on a submarine.
Far from the sea, I am suffocating ... Therefore, I now live in St. Petersburg, and my favorite place is the Port.
The port of any seaside city is a concentration of power, it is the "oldest Internet", if you like, connecting people from different countries and continents. Place of departure and destination, place of parting, meeting place.
All world news was the first to come to the port, from there spreading to cities and villages.
In the port you realize how huge this world is.
How far, and, at the same time, so close is the "foreign shore", and the man on the other shore...
All you have to do is cross the sea.
