Well, James, you've been here in our wonderful city of St Petersburg for two days now.0:20
What do you think of it so far?0:25
Of course I'm having a fantastic time, Katya, visiting all the museums and palaces and monuments.0:27
I loved the Chekhov play we saw last night too.0:36
But now I think I'd like to see something of modern St Petersburg.0:40
Let's start today with a visit to Nevsky Prospekt then.0:45
It has some of the best shops in the city.0:49
I think you'll like Gostyny Dvorak.0:52
It's one of the most fashionable shopping centres in all of Eastern Europe.0:54
The Passage is also well worth a visit for its wide range of luxury goods.0:58
They sound really expensive.1:03
Most of the shops are pretty upmarket.1:06
But if you want to get some presents to take home with you, I'm sure we'll find something.1:08
Some of the shops are quite affordable.1:13
There are also lots of great cafes and restaurants in the area, so we can have lunch after shopping.1:15
I think I'll stick to window shopping and get my souvenirs another day at this little shop.1:21
I saw Lunch somewhere nice would be great, though.1:26
What about this evening?1:30
I'd love to see some live music from a local band.1:32
This city is famous for its music scene.1:35
There are clubs for every type of music.1:38
There are lots of jazz, rock and rave clubs.1:41
I really love a club called Fishfabrique.1:44
I go there all the time.1:47
All the best local bands perform there.1:48
It's in a very trendy art centre that has galleries selling modern art too.1:51
We can have a look around the galleries first.1:58
It will be really interesting to see what young artists in this city are doing.2:01
Then we can go relax and listen to some good music in the club.2:06
I don't think I could ask for a better evening's entertainment.2:11
I'm glad you like the idea.2:15
So that's settled then.2:17
We've got a full day planned out for us.2:18
And you can get to see something of modern life in the city.2:21
Yes, I love the historic centre of the city, don't get me wrong.2:24
But it would be a shame not to see the other side of a city while I'm here.2:29
And I'll have even more stories for all my pals when I get home.2:33
They'll be so jealous.2:38
