A Walk Around St. Petersburg
Let’s have an ordinary walk in a surprisingly sunny St. Petersburg.
1. Street of Zodchy Rossi or Teatralnaya Street. It consists of several buildings that were built in the same style. The street has unique proportions. Its width is equal to the height of the street's buildings, and it is 22 meters. The street's length is ten times more than its width, and it is 220 meters.
2. The theatre tube of the Aleksandriyski Theater, one of the oldest dramatic theaters in Russia. You can see it up in the street.
3. The Fontanka River's embankment. The river's name is related to fountains of the Summer Garden.
4. A statue of Chizhyk-Pyzhik is the smallest in the city. In November 2014 it was 20 old. Chizhyk-Pyzhik was a nickname of students of students of the Imperial School of Jurisprudence in 1835.
5. The Summer Garden supposed to be the residence of Peter the Great. In 2012 a renewed park was opened for visitors after a restoration. A vase in the Front Parterre.
6. There is a mosaic square near the Summer Garden. It is located at the opposite side of the house of Peter the Great at Chaykovskogo Street, bld. 2.

12. In the St, Peterburg's subway.
13. It seems to me that St. Petersburg's subway is not practical. Its stations are too deep under the ground, and there is a big distance between them. Moreover, sometimes it is very difficult to find an entrance since there are no big signs.
14. We are moving farther.
