Wonderful Steemians,
After writing my introduction post i was positively surprised and impressed by your interest in Russia, Russian people and culture! So i decided it might be interesting for you to get to know a little bit more about us. I would be happy to be your guide on this way and would like to explain you step by step all the peculiarities of our culture, traditions, customs, believes, way of thinking and behavior. If you have any questions or would like to know more, please just let me know :)
I would like to start our journey from sharing with you the pictures of my wonderful home city the name of which is St. Petersburg. A lot of architects from the past as well as local couples call it North Venus :) I would say there is definitely a reason to call it so. Just have a look here:
And now here:
It couldn't be more romantic, right?
And that is how you feel yourself when you are back...at home...
When you can walk around the city in the night with your best friend...your Mum
Do you think it is a fairy tale...?
No..that is how our city celebrates the pupils' graduation from school and entering their new life: universities...
Isn't it amazing...romantic...inspiring?
And what do you think about this architecture?
and this one?
And these sculptures...
I hope you have received a little bit of inspiration? :)
Hereby i just wanted to share with you something...important...:
i wanted to share with you this: счастье... Happiness! :)
In the next article I would try to describe a few stereotypes about Russians and explain you what is truth and what is kind of trick. If you have any ideas or would like to get to know more about certain topic, just let me know.
Have a nice evening / day!
Best wishes,
Sonnenschein :)
