Hi from Saint Petersburg! So welcome to the magical city of Saint
Petersburg this is Russia's capital cultural capital at least of course the
political and economic capital is in Moscow which is not too far from here
but did you know that Saint Petersburg used to be the capital of Russia and in
fact it was built to be a window onto the West that's why when you see these
buildings behind me it may remind you of other cities further to the west in
Europe like maybe Stockholm it's also got a lot of canals which will remind
you if you've ever visited the Netherlands it has an absolutely
fantastic mix of architectural styles that have been preserved it's a
wonderful city and I'm not just here for the culture and the architecture I'm
gonna show you what you can do at this time of year because we're here for the
white nights in fact we're here for a particular party called the scarlet
sails which is spectacular takes place in the harbor here in st. Petersburg so
what I've said [Russian] It's Piter baby! [English] Let's go and enjoy the sights and the sounds
and the atmosphere here in st. Petersburg Russia! [Russian] Let's go!
You're found your soulmate yes I think yeah I found my soulmate
how do you say soulmate in Russian?
So it is my first evening here in St. Petersburg and it is about I don't know
it is obviously early after the club. It's 5am. I'm here with Irina
So this behind me is Rubinstein Street in the center of Saint Petersburg just off
Nevsky Prospekt which is the main avenue that runs right through the center
dissects the city and here is actually a great place for restaurants and cafes
and bars it's one of the centers for the nightlife is probably the main central
point if you are looking to eat well hang out beautiful people you know have
a drink before maybe on clubbing there's a lot of great places on this street and
we've been taking full advantage of them and one of the crazy things of course
with the white nights is the fact that the nights are white in the sense of
there's very little darkness we're probably about 9 p.m. and it's not it's
gonna get a little bit dark around about 11:00 11:30 for a couple of hours and
then become bright again by about 3 o'clock in the morning so basically it
feels like just the entire you know evening is open to explore have some fun
and definitely you get a lot of energy from that the city basically doesn't
sleep during this time
Got Matt here looking cool and trendy as always map the only man who can make the buildings
of Saint Petersburg look tiny - you know I should know the name of the
square because I've lived here for three months but it's called Palace Square
I think I will default to the - that's embarrassing - tourist here ... all light up at night here looks
absolutely spectacular
One of the coolest and quirkiest things that i discovered during my stay in
Saint Petersburg for the white nights was this open-air salsa and bachata dance
extravaganza that takes place every single evening by the waterfront how
cool is this obviously if you love dancing bachata itself so this is
the place to be at but also it's a pretty pretty easy place to start
flirting with the locals and maybe even the beginning of a beautiful romance at
sunset by the water in St. Petersburg
So where are we at the moment? - Bar 53 - And why is Bar 53 well-known in the city? -It's the best bar in the city
How much? We should be asking it for money ...
yeah we've had shisha here and we've eaten and it was pretty good right
- Actually we had no problems
now we became friends with some of the staff including the guy at the door I
guess it's up to each person how you approach things ...
I'm drinking my first shot at a little bit of Irish shot here Bailey's in St.
Petersburg I've met the staff here at this bar everybody is hanging out ... got Philip
my man at the bottom so this is when we shown some very good hospitality
in St. Petersburg so far so
- So Philip what can you say about the drawing of the bridges whether I get to
- I think it was really boring yeah a disappointment like hype on
steroids everybody talking about those bridges going up
nothing happened, I'm disappointed - So what has impressed you about Saint Petersburg so far?
- No it's very beautiful the lights and the architecture the city in
general people very relaxed that's really nice
It's like a mix of Russian European Western European and say it's all really beautiful
- We are at the end of another video I'm here in Minsk and you know I've been in
St. Petersburg for the last few days with my clients who were there
[Russian] Hi! Good evening! [English] and it could be you what are you doing next weekend like
we've been in St. Petersburg together Odessa Kiev Lviv back in Minsk here it
could be any of these cities but you know the tsar experience is not for
everybody it's not for people who probably frankly are not wanting to push
their own boundaries and develop also enough for people who want to kind of
follow the crowd go so it's very touristic and have a tourist experience
and definitely not for people who want to date kind of average-looking girls because
you don't need that my help in order to do that if you come to this region and
listen I can relate to you I used to work as a lawyer I used to work really long
hours and I basically was living in order to live the tsar experience for
just kind of like a weekend or a week I used to constantly even in meetings be
kind of looking on my phone about dates where I could go get out of there and
experience that kind of escapism that freedom for just at least a few days of
not a week ten days so I relate to your situation but you gotta take the first
step of action and that is to write me either send me an email
ConorClyne@TsarExperience.com or DMV slide into my DMS my handle there is
TsarExperience and what's gonna happen is I'm gonna send you a series of
questions and if I think that we're good fit potentially to work together we're
gonna jump on a ten-minute strategy call we're gonna see how I can best help you
and if it works out could be you living the tsar experience in a city like
Minsk the capital of Belarus or in St. Petersburg Russia I really encourage you
to think about going to the scarlet sails next year in 2020 it was an
amazing amazing time that we all had there and it's definitely a special
event the White Nights everything not really getting dark is something I
hadn't experienced before myself so I really appreciate that and the locals in
St. Petersburg were very friendly and we had
fun so goodbye from Minsk Belarus and kind of from Saint Petersburg as
well and I will see you in the very next video
Ciao!
