One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My 21st birthday was really interesting. I made it in a 'Chicago 30-th-years' stile. All guys were in suits and ladies were in dresses with special make-up. Guys have brought whisky (It was distilled in 2000) and Dominicans cigars. Goodman's CDs were playing . We all were playing poker. So, it was awesome)

I had a special trip in summer of 2010. My friend and I have gone to the Russian village in deep forest. It's about 7 km through the forest with bears and wild nature, far from the nearest civilization And we had a special schedule: in the morning we did household, went to shop (about 7 km) or walked a little bit. After that we had a small Spartan diner. At 17.30 we went somewhere to take photos. It was like to see suddenly two not smooth-faced men with big cameras, supports and other tools walking through the hills and forest to take good pictures) We came home at sunset time, cooked meet on the fire, drank whisky with coke, played poker and slept a little. Before sunup we went to take photos too. So how we were spending one special week))))

Teach, Learn, Share

I really love my city. I spend a lot of time walking. So, I can show you a lot of strange, beautiful and interesting places of my city. I know a lot of legends of Saint Petersburg, so I can show you what you can't read in books or find in google. It's informal and mystery side of the city.
I don't like to sleep at night and I'm fond of dancing. So, I can take you to some good nightclubs or bars.
I love arts and you can go to some museumS, art-galleries or exhibitions with me.
