St. Petersburg Market


Here is a small/large market that we discovered one morning on our way around St. Petersburg.  This was the most food we had seen in one place in nearly a month, and at the cheapest prices we had so far discovered.  That should explain some of our amazement and excitement you might be able to hear on the video.  I nearly cried seeing so many options of meats, salami, sausages, dozens I had no idea of what they were.  And Jihye was weeping at the piles of cherries.  After a lifetime of being charged several dollars per 10 cherries...she was overwhelmed at being able to buy them by the box and bag.
We filmed this video thinking we had hit the jackpot indoors, only to squeeze out of a narrow exit and discover the market doubled in size surrounding the entire building.  30 rouble breads, 50 rouble bags of veggies, I am surprised we ever left.
