Scenes from St. Petersburg 1
Part. 1
In St. Petersburg, I stayed with Irina from 31st July to 6th August. For me, feeling like home is really good during the long journey with motorcycle because I used be on the road. And it was really good to stay with Irina because she hosted us (Dongneon Kim, another Korean rider and me) as roommates, not as a guest. We cooked together, walked around the city and she also knew much about some historical things in St. Petersburg. Plus, her flat is close to the park, supermarket and the sports complex so I could easily jog, go swimming and buy foods. Thanks again, Irina.
Then I moved to Daria’s from 6th to 8th Aug. Dongneon Kim left this city due to his schedule. Her place was more close to the center area and I just took a little bit of walk to access whenever I wanted to visit. We went to ‘Harley Days’ festival, jazz bar ‘The Hat’ and met her other friends, Tolia and Jenny. I agreed with her idea of ‘inspire and be inspired’ and her friends (including Daria) seemed to be following this phrase. Even it was a short stay with Daria, I really love this city and still want to visit again in the near future. See you, Daria and please say my hello to Tolia and Jenny also.
So, this is part 1.

I fully agree with you that (old) museum is too boring.
