"Do svidanija"- Goodbye Russia, back in Helsinki now


As doing a business trip, I did not have this time possibilities to do everything I wanted. Like visiting in St.Petersburg some less unknown museums,for example Bread Museum, Fabergé Museum, Artic and Antartic Museum or Krassin Icebreaker. Or some new bars like "Cafe-Bar Produkty". Apropos...about the word "produkty" in Russian.



In Russia you can see shops called "Produkty" in every corner, in every basement. Practically everywhere. Just step in there, do your small scale shoppings. Many of them are open around the clock.


Well, in St.Petersburg there are also lots of interesting bars of every scale. Even a hommage to Finland, the "Helsinki-Bar".


We may see, if I visit St.Petersburg once more this year. Maybe so, or maybe not. We will see later. Anyway Russia "yes". So next to Moscow.

A small tip for you visiting St.Petersburg. Many times it is colder there as in Helsinki. May be because it is not so near the Golf Streem than Helsinki. May be than the city is built on swamp. So it is a more humid city than Helsinki somehow...And that is why there are also mosquitos during the summer. So be prepared for that. And if it is cold, you can buy in St.Petersburg a traditional fur hat. Even a pinky one, if wished by you so.

Happy Holidays! S Praznikom!
