We were small people lucky enough to be in one of the most amazing places in the world. St. Petersburg sure changed my attitude and perspectives towards history – the learning of it, as well as the understanding of it. I now know why Russians don’t have much to smile about. I know I do.
Did you go to the hermitage? btw, st. petersburg is modelled after amserdam! lovely huh?
nxxxxxxxx
Oh I absolutely did! Going to St. Petersburg without visiting the Hermitage is like going to Egypt and not visiting the Sphinx (or like going to Taiping and not eating the Char Kuey Tiaw! Okay okay! I am homesick, I admit it!)
Yes, Peter the Great liked everything and anything Dutch. Too bad the ‘New Holland’ was closed for restoration this year. I’ll definitely be back in St. Pete next year if not later this year… and next year, and the year after and the year after.
Madame Pokrovsky, I love the picture!Had a friend who studied in Kursk.She sent me postcards of Lenin.Here there everywhere si Lenin.Russia is a melancholic country, but the people?Tough gile-gile.Termasuk makcik tua jaga kedai tu.
…which reminds me, I look at the picture of the three of you, I had the matryoshka doll in mind.
Matryoshka dolls? Muahahahaha! It won’t be very long before those two monchies outgrow me, for sure. And soon I will be the tiniest one.
I was very tempted to get those pretty babooshka dolls in St. Petersburg. But I usually leave it to the eleventh hour before borong-ing all these souvenirs. And that is before I leave the country. I also don’t make it a habit of getting these specific-country-related souvenirs for friends and families because I want them to come visit me and get one themselves.
Ehem! But if you’d like a postcard exclusively signed by Madam Pokrovsky her (majesty) self, mailed from a potchta on Ulitsa Leningradsky… please do not be melancholically shy to email me your mailing address, kharasyo?
Well, all those Johnson genes must contribute somehow (merujuk kepada ketinggian).Kita yang berdarah Malaysia ni akur dengan kecomelan diri-sendiri.I may not be tall, but I like the fact someone comes up to me and nearly goes into fits when I told them my age.
Here’s to looking 23 years old forever!Woot-woot!
Alamat surat-menyurat?Beres!Sila rujuk Mukabuku saya, di bahagian profile info.

Penawar rindu padamu saorang…
