SO stoked, the wife just surprised me with the go-ahead to book a 12 day cruise that includes 2 days in St. Petersburg Russia this coming May. Has anyone ever been there? One night we're even going to the Great Hall to see a major performance by the St. Petersburg Symphonic Orchestra. In fact we chose the cruise date so we'd be there for one of their better concerts.
Only 2 days there so we don't have a lot of time, one key thing I want to see there is their WWII museum. If you have seen the movie Enemy Gates, about a Russian sniper going after a German sniper, his rifle is even in that museum.
I'm interested in how we'll do not knowing more than 2-3 words of Russian lol. I've even received a couple emails in pure Russian that duplicated the English receipts we received. They made the trip start feeling very real.
