Right,

So this isn't being maintained very well is it. Problem is there is only one computer in the hostel and it is always occupied. Right now there are a couple of austrailians staring at me. i aint going no where yet though, in your face convicts! well until katherine is ready to go back out anyway. Another thing is its hard to devote time to sit down and type when you're somewhere amazing. st petersburg is such a place. it has such grand and epic architecture but they are in such a bad state. what isn't crumbling away is being repaired but with no regard for health and safety. and i mean really. plus they drive worse than bradford. and yesterday all the traffic lights went down causing utter chaos. The streets were filled wth the sound of horns.Only in Russia. Hopefully later i'll be able to type some sort of diary thing as right now it's getting towards midday and we are off to the hermitage which is the russian equivalent of the british museum. I can honestly say though that unlike finland russia truly seems foreign and very alien. Hardly anyone speaks english, everything is written in cyrillic and it isn't overcast. very odd.

i know they're are spellng mistakes here but this is truly a bad keyboard. Oh and russia doesn't seem to have doughnuts but i'm not giving up yet. For those of you that are doughnut watching finland gets a 9/10
