Is Sulfer Safe To Eat



be brave. Certainly, I've saved dozens of blog-esque ramblings this summer, when there were things to write. I preferred to let you leave your body in the feverish pace of the summer box lady gaga (which deserves a post by itself, just for his words to the sensitivity troubling: "Rah, rah, ah, ah, Ah Roma, roma, ma "). but I digress already. stay strong, so, as summer has ended, and with the cold and dead leaves back the blog notes of m (& m? m would also deserves a post on his non-posts: p).

I'll start farting in me, because it is a great way on the net, and that the main purpose of blogging ("j got a life formidaaaable subliiiiime in a place with a family and a job géniaaaaale bursting vaaaaalorisant but so what ... look at me, be nice).
and this time it's me what I fart, since returns just a little trip to St. Petersburg, and we loved it.

first things first. number (s) of you who attended less than more assiduously the same college / high school as me, I should not insult you by assuming you are zero (the) s in geography. if this is not the case, my apologies.
but where is this town on the map of our good old Eurasian continent?

if the cards are sometimes correct TF1


close to 700km, I had good. but go on my mediocrity in Russian geography. the important thing to remember is that St. Petersburg is located on the Gulf of Finland, so it's a seaside town, where the Finns love is present in many places (meaning thereby the remnants of the armies Finnish that Russians have emerged from their territory).

we left, so with our tourist visas and our bags under the eyes at dawn. after a very good and cheap coffee Hédiard the airport (I need the fart, I tell you!) and mind-numbing three hours on the plane, we were greeted around 15h local time with our guide Natalie. guide that will prove very interesting and immediately be passionate about her city, which will be a huge plus to this trip.

no time to say Уф, and we are already exploring the city.
first impression: everything is huge. buildings, colorful, are all huge and beautiful. any place is passed instead of the star for a carousel fair. The statue of Lenin, the finger pointing at who knows what awaits us.

the Russians claim that is being hailed a taxi to steer quickly
the ride as an opportunity to review the basics. St. Petersburg is the second largest city in Europe by its surface, and is also the most European city in Russia.
in 1703, Peter the Great did lay the foundation stone of the city in a region long disputed in Finland. he wants to make this city an opening to Europe, which will complete the eastern part of Russia. the company is courageous, because the area is swampy and the Neva is regularly flooded the pavement. they say the city is built on the bones of its builders. in 1712 the city became the capital of Russia. is not a little mud and snow that would frighten a Russian.

back in town. we stopped on Nevsky Prospekt in the historical heart of the city. first visit, the cathedral Our Lady of Kazan , inspired by the St Peter's. when we visit, his head covered for women, an agency is underway. Russian Orthodox chants are beautiful, it really helps to set the mood! religious icons all over the walls, and near the entrance to the tomb of Marshal Kutuzov. flags and keys of the Napoleonic troops that surrounds us show he is the man who led the victorious Russian army against Napoleon in 1812 ...

then discover the neighborhood and its many canals. The hotel is next to the Cathedral of bloodshed, which will be our benchmark in all the stay.

nothing to do with Harry Potter Half Blood Prince and
its name refers to the blood shed by Alexander II in this location during its assassination in 1881.

after the ride, dinner at the hotel. salad cucumbers, potato soup, dish of potatoes, pancakes. I do not know what time it is, how or why my name I eat. I think only my duvet.

following takes place on another day, perhaps with some vodka?
