You can replace St Petersburg and Russia with just about any city in the
world.

I will return there over and over again, I find it a fascinating place.

Saint Petersburg should be seen, the wealth and spectacule is jaw

dropping, but
I will never return. Over a decade since the brutal commies went bankrupt
their evil presence still hangs over Russia. Imagine a place locked in

rust
bowl 1950's gloom, run down trolley cars move sullen citizens through
dilapidated streets, teens drink beer at 10:00 AM, citizens are silent for

fear
that an informant will report them, round slavic women peddle watermellons

in
the midst of squalor, while sullen policemen solicit bribes from

frightened
tourists.
