unreal

we just got back from nathan, one of the program directors house.

it is 300,000 sq. meters. 10 rooms.

one of the nicest apartments in st. petersburg

full of antiques and expensive things.

then we found out that this used to be the house of a premiere ballerina before soviet times and then was taken during soviet times and turned into communal housing where 40 people lived to have half of those 40 die of starvation during the leningrad blockade.

everything in this city has so much history.
