had
At 4:30 I get up to clock time for departure at 6:30 am Keskustori be. From there we went from first to Helsinki, to collect the second part of our tour group. 9:00 clock we were already there and there is also the same one from the new group is next to me. Then the lists of names were checked off. When my name was then asked my dear seatmate: "Are you German?" Me: "Yes!" She: "Oh cool, me too!" Since then I sat
So in addition to Anne from Berlin, she is now studying in Erfurt teacher with whom I was thinking later on the same shared the hotel room.
12:00 clock was then a lunch break and clock to 13:40, we finally reached the Greze. There was then once again crossed a time zone, so suddenly it was 15:00 clock, as we continued our journey on Russian territory. There, I was a bit shocked at how dirty is all there. Garbage everywhere along the road and the houses were not even in the best condition.
Ca. 17:30 clock we arrived at the hotel, after we had fought through this unbelievable traffic chaos. Very nice there, there's photos in the folder.
The plan of the evening was then to go to the opera. When we got there, did the good lady at the counter, however, have 50 €, so we have decided to change the plan and went to eat. We were with a very nice restaurant Live music, there was a piano player and singer, who had both fully on it. So was the evening but well done and we have paid only 10 €.
Then there was a nightly "Sightseeing Tour" with Mike (our lecturer), which was great. But I had my camera with: (
Back to the hotel we went by metro St. Petersburg has the deepest subway system in the world, it runs that is partly under the Neva river, since time was with me then.. again agoraphobia announced
I thought the hotel then, I could even go swimming because our bathroom had a bath, too So... plug in, water on, looked briefly and decided against swimming were we. already before the tap water in St. Petersburg, cautioned that we should not drink. Thanks to the rusty pipes is as delicious nämich heavy metal in it. And accordingly the water saw from Braun. And it also smelled disgusting. So just showered. It tastes quite disgusting convincing. Brush your teeth if one is perhaps sometimes, but the water is not really nice.
So, there was over this first day so successful. And I've already noticed that I've caught a cold during our nocturnal wanderings. But that does not matter, I was finally in this beautiful city, as does a bit of a cold nothing.

Friday, 10/30/2009 - Excursion
On the day of the excursion was part of us announced Tampere people. To clock it was 9:00 for breakfast first. Jah, that's right, I have breakfast XD pure squeezed What does not do anything to save money for lunch. In any event, the food was great there, but I have become ill as I've seen that some people eat for breakfast, meat balls, vegetables and sauce. Something's for lunch!
Anyway, we went first to the Sokos Hotel, where we had for a little guidance. A super nice hotel with a very nice suite (with a very ingenious metal bed, so one thing I will also have), conference rooms, restaurant, etc., looks like just the way a hotel. There's no pictures of it, was too lazy.
Then we had a meeting with the marketing & PR manager of the hotel (a Finn, because this is a Finnish hotel chain).
Then we wanted to go shopping, which is but nothing came. Was rather a brief tour of the city. I have been there to take photographs of each building, there is all so beautiful, it's not at all. But I would have found that I do not want to live in this city. This special "My Town" feeling like I had in London, for example, now does not exist in St. Petersburg. Is perhaps alphabet even in this crazy language and complete strangers. In any case, it is sufficient to see the city again. Me at least.
The second meeting we went at 15:00 clock. Since we met with people from Rempu consulting and TNB-line and learn about the Russian economy. I have to say in this country there is corruption ³, since it is crappy and controls where they can. The
Meetng was in the 8th Floor of the hotel and we could see from there over to a great cemetery, but unfortunately is not publicly available, as there are celebrities.
When I was back in my room, I noticed that we have an ugly Outlook had. And I've watched Russian television! This is crazy, but that synchronize the American movies and series, but is always in the background of the sound heard. That sucks. Then I sat there and I watched Scrubs, Simpson's and my beautiful munched burgers McDoof. Practically, that the shop was right next to our hotel.
Saturday, 31/10/2009 - Culture Day

Then we are on St. Isaac's Cathedral and had a small lead. That was the most impressive part of the tour. From the outside, the cathedral looks so not so great, I think. And if one goes in there with no expectations, then there is an almost kills. The part is so huge and magnificent, as is a smooth away the spittle.

Im Museum hab ich Bilder von Rembrandt, Matisse und Monet gesehen und Skulpturen von Rodin und Michelangelo und hier und da auch ein bisschen Picasso. Ganz schön hässliches Zeug XD Ich mag Picasso einfach nicht..
Zum krönenden Abschluss des Tages gab es noch eine nächtliche Bootstour über die Kanäle und Flüsse von St. Petersburg. Es war schweinekalt und extrem schön.

Sonntag, 01.11.09 - Abreise
Bevor es nach Hause ging, haben wir uns den Yusupov Palast angesehen. Felix Yusupov was the guy who has killed Rasputin. And for that he is now famous. His family was related to the Prophet Mohammed and somehow they were also popular with the Tsar. Was one of the richest families in Russia. Excuse my Rumgemehre inaccurate, but it was so much information, I come not at all been more clear.
Unfortunately, one could even take any pictures in there, so I've even asked Google, and here you have some pictures:

Ok, enough.
Then we went back to Finland at 14:00 clock. The trip went without problems then first and I've noticed that Russians create their cemeteries in the woods. It looked from crazy, but the photo is unfortunately blurred. Is not easy to photograph from 'NEM moving bus out.
Russia has subsequently adopted a beautiful sunset from us, the most beautiful I have seen since the visit of Thomas.
Then we were at the border and are one of the longest lines of cars drove past, I have ever seen. And then wait it said. Before us were three other buses and it was said at first, it takes an hour. In the end we had to wait 2 hours in the bus (Jinsung, my South Korean colleague and I have watched film on his netbook), then was it an hour wait in the house at the border passport control (they were really mad Russians sit in it only one person) and then again an hour for three other identity checks. It was sickening, we have rumgedümpelt 4 hours on the damn border.
Back in Finland, the total 10-hour trip only last for 5 hours. We have therefore considered a Finnish film to pass the time: "One Way Ticket to Mombasa". diagnosed Really very nice
it was about a boy who wanted to be the musician and the cancer was. In the hospital, he meets a terminally ill cancer patients to know other, whose last wish is to fly to Mombasa. So flee two eggs and first in Finland to want to be the girlfriend of the musician to pick from Lapland. Then they get into all sorts of difficulties and fail to Mombasa because the friend dies. The other man is healthy, then it creates as a musician and dedicated to his friend a song. Beautiful film.
So, film over, continue.
Back in Tampere: The last bus to my house was the last 2 hours away. Therefore, we have five people shared a taxi at 2:15 clock and I was finally home.
there's still a mystery to the end. All who learned Russian in school and remember are still there, an advantage here, so please just puzzled that no Russian or did not remember it;)
What is on this plate? You know it ALL!
