That statement holds true for quite a lot of cities (looking at you, Oslo) but I definitely can see why you feel that way.

For some time now, Petersburg has been shaded for me in a greenish color, glimmering and glinting, a ghastly color, phosphorescent. Snaky and snickering, a greenish flame quivers on buildings, on faces, and in souls. A flame will flicker--and it's not Pyotr Petrovich before you, but a slimy reptile. A flame will shoot up--and you yourself are worse than a reptile. And it isn't people walking down the streets: you glance under a hat--it's the head of a snake; you peer at an old lady--a squatting toad, bloating its stomach. And there are young people, each with a particular dream: an engineer just has to hear Hawaiian music, a student--to hang himself with a little more flare, a schoolboy--fathering a child, to show he's a real man. You find yourself in a store--a former general stands at the counter and wears a drilled smile; you go into a museum--the guide knows he's lying, and continues to lie. I don't like Petersburg. My dream is over.

>>60072956
No worries, man

The reason I think Stockholm and St. Petersburg can look pretty similar is the yellow/white colour scheme and the neoclassical/Italianate blend that both cities have. Königsberg must've looked pretty similar, too, back in the day. I think it's safe to say they were inspired by each other to a certain extent.

Went there two years ago with a few friends of mine. Interesting place. Fuck the cities (Old Tbilisi is nice though), you'll find some of the most jaw-dropping nature you'll ever see in your entire life. The nature is definitely where it's at. Don't know if you're into this sort of stuff, but while camping on the side of a mountain, I had what can only be described as the best 12 hours of my life tripping on LSD.

There's not a whole lot to see, in my opinion, but that's not to say you can't have an interesting experience or two. Though, again, the old town is where you should be spending time.

>Did you manage to get around with English?
To my surprise, for the most part, yes. Knew some Russian and I read up on the most basic Georgian phrases. It'll probably require less work than you'd think.

>Ever felt unsafe?
Never really left the city centre all that much, so can't say that I did. Some areas are notoriously shady at night, but I mostly just hung around the hotel bar at that time of day.
