Zona Colonial / St Petersburg

I feel sometimes that Zona Colonial was just taken from St Petersburg and put in Dominican Republic. I do feel like home here and I think i know why:

1. The buildings. Some of the buildings in Zona Colonial are 5-floor and they have exactly the same style as those in St Peterrsburg

2. Artists. If you walk around in St Petersburg, especially in the center you would meet bunch of people doing arts of different types, and f course the city itself - it is not called cultural capital for nothing. theater, music, painings, art lovers are hapy in St Pete. Aparently Zona Colonial is the same. Every day I meet a new artist and right now i have a neighbour who is an amazing person with a big dream and he is doing all the possible  arts in the world

3. River and a sea. no comments

4. Weird people. That is definetely important. It is too boring when it's normal.
Well, like my dad said - in St Petersburg you can even put a clothespin to your hair and it would be considered fashionable. In Zona and in this country in general people are not that liberal about the style, but the amount of weird people is kind of equal. You can see them walking along the streets talking to themselves, or just waving you in the park every time you pass by, or in the small local cafeterias, starting to talk to you out of the blue. Friends say that i have a special talent to meet weird people, don't know if it is true or it's just too many of them here.



P.S. and damn, apparently music is a pure mathematics
