well hello guys I am in my favorite city
in Russia finally I am in st. Petersburg
and after Moscow not to hate on Moscow
it feels like such a breath of fresh air
I know a lot of people actually
differentiate Moscow and st. Petersburg
kind of how we do in the West of like
East Coast versus West Coast like either
you really like LA or you really like
New York or you really like Toronto we
really like Vancouver similar here and I
was just talking about that with some
people in my hostel and I'm a hundred
percent team saint-petersburg like I
haven't been here in ten years but as
soon as I got here I just felt a shift
in energy and just felt so much more at
home so I hope you guys enjoyed this
video and this amazing city as much as I
do
[Music]
so here I am in front of Mariinsky
theater and this is definitely one of
the most beautiful most well-known and I
think one of the oldest theaters in
Russia and I knew going on this trip
that I for sure either wanted to go to a
performance here at medinsky or at the
buzzer Theatre in Moscow and after I
kind of looked at what was playing in
both places I decided to go with
Mariinsky because they had much more
ballet but Shirley had opera for the
dates that I was there and I can
definitely say a much bigger fan of
ballet than I am of opera for that
reason I decided to go with wedding ski
but both places in general do have
higher sort of prices my mid-range
tickets here were about $80 and could
easily go to like 200 depending on the
performance I think they actually had
the Nutcracker plane in these days as
well and tickets started at $200 at the
same time it's worth it if some of the
best performers in the world and the
theater itself is supposed to be
absolutely stunning
so I'm actually going to do that as a
standalone video where I take you guys
with me to the Opera but for now just a
little mention that if you come to st.
Petersburg you absolutely
Kerensky theater
[Music]
so another place that I would really
recommend that you guys check out is
where I am right now it is the house of
fabergé here in st. Petersburg and I'm
sure a lot of you have probably heard of
the incredible fabric eggs that were
made during the time of the Russian
dynasty so to say during the time of
bazaars this is actually the second
largest collection in the world with
seven original eggs and the only other
larger collection is in Moscow in the
Kremlin so let me show you guys some of
these amazing creations
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
so I'm just coming up to st. Isaac's
Cathedral right now and this is one of
the places that I actually remember when
I was a kid and came here we kind of
climbed to the top and had this
beautiful panoramic view of st.
Petersburg so honestly even if you're
here for just one day this is absolutely
one of the things that you have to do
[Music]
so I was remembering correctly
everything is gilded in gold and it's a
lot bigger than I remember like the
ceilings are insane well I guess like we
did climb to there I don't know though
somewhere at the top so
[Music]
so I have decided to go on a boat ride
in the city and I'm so excited because I
was talking to my aunt who lives here
before I came and she was like oh you
know you just missed the season of the
boats going and stuff and I was like
David I really wanted to do a cruise but
it looks like there's a few more warmer
days left here in st. Petersburg so I'm
not going to miss the opportunity
[Music]
you
