Lets Tank platoon tonight!

Many thanks for info. Need to visit St.Petersburg someday.

I can't really tell about SPb tourist-wise since I was born and lived 99% of my life here and simply wasn't interested.
I think main differences would be - it's very flat, crowded (tourist' places), more of wide sidewalks, no bicycle lanes, badly maintained roads, a lot more cars (and most of them rarely had a wash) and furious honking, a lot more garbage everywhere, less trees, a lot waterways and bridges. No English signs outside historical center (nothing to see there either). Nearly every building has a memorial plaque about some historical persona associated with the building, but I think it's better to take a bus and/or boat for sightseeing, walking is not that pleasant.

So how's St. Petersburg compared to Helsinki, Turku or Stockholm. From a tourist's point of view that is. I haven't been to "Zoo Museum" of Helsinki myself after they made the renovations, everybody tells it is a nice place nowadays, good to hear that you enjoyed it.

Oh .

3rd grade is more like 7-8 year olds

I was just about to post something about Star Wars chess, then I saw your profile picture. Never mind.

The river of beer... Funny.

Right on.
I was younger and way more stupid than now, and played alot of Playstation. Had to pick some unique word back then, and it stuck to me.
Interestingly enough, game's autors picked this exact "word" for same reasons - to sound as something strange and foreign.

Ahhh, interesting name

I assume you played the old PSX game Einhander? Or you picked 'single-handed' for a different reason?
