St.Petersburg travel in summer

Not for everyone is to be photographed, right after waking up on the way to the morning shower. But who wants to feel even as object of photographic desire, or has at least no problem, I can recommend without reservation the location hostel. Project I recommend anyone who visits St.Petersburg and has a penchant for architecture, art or good coffee the Etagi loft. But you come in the morning, since the inhabitants look funnier.
Now it is so far. We have hardly left the familiar realm of the EU, the first problems arise promptly. Nothing that we successfully got away from the world, but it will slowly seriously. Here in Russia, for the first time some more attention, imagination, and gestikulatives skill is needed.
First of all, we owe a small supplement our readership about our first appearance in St.Petersburg. Night driven by and without sleep, but with a lot of back pain, the bus spewed out morning us Centre in St.Petersburg to 7 h. Quickly, Jochen had checked our site and the next steps (say Metro to the hostel). I let him, because at least he found sleeping while driving an hour.
So off to the Metro. I already had a few rubles in his pocket like with Ferry Liverpool Dublin Boat and ordered us the Metro coins. Not using correct Russian language scraps, still reasonably confident, but there should be enough. Armed with bag and baggage, we strove through the bottleneck at the inlet to the station. With urbane serenity, I pushed my coin in the device of the machine and squeezed me with some effort through the turnstile.
Arrived on the other side, I was driving along. A shrill beep sound drove me through leg. I contacted along with luggage and saw stuck Jochen in the turnstile. Stubborn, he tried to achieve but admitted to Metro, the louder the siren wailing. Not good. Jacobs look revealed that he was poised to change his mood from despair to panic. I asked about the problem, got only a helpless shrug. Coin swallowed, access is denied. Stupid started.
What to do? A nice Russian passer-by tried the problem to identify, assured in a Russian torrent of speech that he have no idea what is. So we have derived at least the us, after still did nothing. Aside from the penetrating whistles.
What was already part on the already frayed nerves, have to let cold apparently an observer of the whole scene. Not ten metres away was a uniform which staring holes in Jacobs backpack which he had from offer Ferry Liverpool Belfast with stoic look. No emotion, no indication that he would be willing to help. Only the views in the void.

Architecture in Asia

One reason we have done so, because there are so many people that is simply because there are more and more and because everyone just needs a few square meters for themselves. Point.And why not ? And now there is a lot of intuition opinion, ie by mere sight it without intervention of any systematic analysis considers generated :For example, much is newly built, just because everything is fairly new, rapidly grows old. And the more rapidly is old, the more must be built rapidly again with cheap Ferry Cairnryan Belfast. Why ? I guess at the house where we now at le
ast one year (until the construction sites came from) have lived happily. Neo-classical design, fashion jewelry couple columns with classical capitals, four-meter ceiling height with behavioral ornamented stucco ceiling. Wooden lattice windows, natural stone flooring, spiral staircase railings, säulchenbewehrte terraces and balcony balustrades, Berlin each teacher couple with anti-nuclear and peace dove sticker story on the espresso machine from Saeco came into the boundless raptures on cheap Ferry Dublin Holyhead.
But the whole does not come as one might think from the heart of the colonial era but is just five years old. Around the corner, such a house has just been finished, the architectural drawings must be from the twenties. So these things are all fairly new, but if you're in the corner, or wherever looks at the ceiling or on the infrastructure, everything looks pretty old. This rapid aging is probably - sorry love Archtekturhistoriker, rehabilitation experts, urban planners - in these unique environmental conditions. First, it is too hot and too humid secondly, thirdly, of course, is why no one understands why people could ever get the idea there to settle in the delta of the Red River with cheap Ferry Cairnryan Larne.
The but you can only really understand if you do not study the climate map, but once experienced such a complete Hanoi in the summer only. Basically from mid-April the temperatures drop does not like to look under thirty degrees (even at night) and the humidity level remains - getting to the skin - like well over 60 %.
With some outliers up - does that mean temperatures above 36 degrees and about 75 % - but only the gracious 28 degrees remains until sometime in October, a kind of fall begins, where it is still moist, warm. In winter it is rarely cold, but it can also rain at just over ten degree days in moist clouds of dust or drizzle. In contrast, simply protects garnix, everything is wet, cold and moldy like to go unchecked when things get warmer.
I measure the weather like at the reaction of my dogs - we have brought three long-haired dogs with hats to Hanoi three years ago. Avoid the following summer, shortly after getting through our huge garden ( about 100 square crammed with flower pots ) - to run to pee next to the pot and look at me with pity, I know. One need not be voluntary outside, but only if it does just no other way.
