I went back to Hermitage again to check out the English and French painting sections as well as the Modern Art section. There was no way I was going to finish Hermitage in one day. The museum is enormous. If you try to finish it in one day, you would get tired and eventually fail to appreciate…

Rond middernacht hadden hadden we een hostel gevonden, we kwamen om van de honger en we besloten even gouw een pizza te eten en dan snel naar bed. Toen we aan het eten waren kwam er een Russische meisje naar ons toe en ze begon in het Russisch tegen ons te praten. Ik kan nog niet eens goedenda…

Yesterday I saw a side of Piter that I haven't seen before - Leningrad. We did a walking tour with Peter's (an alternative tour guide style, it involves using public transport and walking alot), who was excellent. During WWII (or as the Russian's call it, the Great Patriotic War), 28 million Ru…

something about us))))

It seems ages since I last posted a blog, and that is largely because, it was.  And so much seems to have happened since then.  The last time I wrote was on the first day we arrived in Russia all fresh faced and eager eyed (if not also a little unsteady and unnerved also) and now hav…

Sandwich to St Petersburg, then across Mongolia to Beijing. Trekking,camping and kayaking through Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. Working for a children's charity in Goa, finishing up in Kathmandu. Snow, Sun and Monsoons!

I had travelled to Moscow & Saint Petersburg, Russia from 26 Aug till 04 Sep 20Sep 2003. As you knew, this year was the year of SAS disease broke out in mid. of February. The situation was recovered in early month of July. Anyway, I had a wonderful and great time during my 10days 7nig…

When I first got here it was really rough, we had such a hard time because a lot of the people are so rude, they do not speak English ANYWHERE!!! Everything is so expensive too, the ruble conversion is 25 rubles to 1 USD. We went to dinner on the first night and had to get up and leave b/c we …

English version can be found below. Na ook nog een wandeling door het park van dit paleis te hebben gemaakt ging het dan toch echt richting vliegveld. We waren hier nog niet goed en wel aangekomen of er barstte een vreselijke bui los maar daar zouden wij geen last meer van hebben. Na alle controle…

I spend 5 weeks making my way through Russia, Mongolia and ending up in Peking, China just before the Olympics ended. So I saw sun in Peking!:D

In the winter of 2004, I travelled to Latvia and Lithuania and then took the train to Belarus and Russia. Here are some photos from my journey.

Welcome to Saint Petersburg!

My girlfriends and I traveled from Berlin (Germany) to Moscow (Russia) and back by train. We also visited Warszawa (Poland), Minsk (Belarus), Saint Petersburg (Russia), Helsinki (Finland), Stockholm (Sweden) and Copenhagen (Denmark).

We pulled into Finland station, famous for being the site of Lenin's reentry to Russia in 1917, rather late-- 8 or 9pm--and therefore it was entirely dark.  Stepping off the train was even more intimidating than stepping on-- there was a sudden awareness of just how ob…

May 14th is a night I will never forget....or remember fully, depending on how you look at it.We spent the first few days in Russia realizing just how difficult this immersion would be. Communicating was more difficult than we imagined, even simple acts of ordering fast food was a challenge (Pro Ti…
