St. Petersburg

Hello guys! I haven't updated in ages! I was in St. Petersburg for almost a week, four days after coming back to Helsinki I was on a plane on my way to Germany and once I got back school started the next day. :)

I've decided to upload my St. Petersburg photos. I loved my stay there (18.7-23.7) at my cousins. The weather was great (except for 1½ days when the entire city was flooded because of the rain). I bought a really cute dress :heart: and broke my Hermitage curse (every time I was in St. Peters I was never able to get inside, until now) and I loved it! I visited a Julio le Parc and Rossi exhibition (seriously check out le Parc [link] so amazing!! especially the alchemie series). My cousin loves those two, but whenever she took any of her friends to the exhibition, they ran away with disgusted face saying: "This isn't art". She was extremely surprised that this time she had to almost drag me out from there! The Impressionistic collection at the Hermitage is also amazing, in some ways even better than the National Gallery in London.

My uncle is an art's dealer so I also got to meet one really cool artist (Gaga) and got an awesome lecture on buying and selling art. Also their entire apartment is filled from floor to ceiling with numerous paintings, so I practically lived in a museum the whole time, you bet I more than ABSOLUTELY LOVED it!!

Anyway, here are the pics (photobucket doesn't like me and totally screwed up with the order):

here's the album [link]

and also some funny/interesting things here:

And I really feel like talking, so say stuff to me and tell me about your vacation or the terror of school... or something! :D

Oh yeah, and all pictures (with some exceptions) were shot by my cousin :heart:

Ah the saying, "if life gives you lemons make lemonade"
What happens if you don't like lemonade? Or if you don't know the recipe?
If life gave ME lemons i think i'd say "And what the hell is this?" and throw them back. More satisfying that way...
:iconcolombina-san:
it is an awesome place! :D
i was the previous time there 4 years ago and it has changed so much over that time!
