Hi everyone,
I will be going at the end of the month to St. Petersburg as part of a student exchange. We will be studying Russian at St. Petersburg State University. I have never been anywhere outside of Canada before so not sure what to expect. Does anyone have any advice, tips, or just anything I should keep in mind? What are the styles like there? Do girls wear jeans? or will I be obvious as a foreigner if I wear jeans? How cold does it get there in the winter? What should I bring to keep warm? I will also be there when it's spring/summer, so what kind of clothes do they wear then? Also, does anyone know any neat places to hang out beside from the stuff in the guidebooks? Thanks!
