Happily, we don't need to choose 😃 I like lakes and seas both. As for sea near the city I live, St.Petersburg, Russia, I would say I am a lake person because Gulf of Finland generally is dull but lakes are marvellous around the city.

St.Petersburg is beautiful ! I haven’t been there yet but seen pictures. There are some nice rivers flowing through this city as well if I don’t remember wrong ?
Yes, the city is located in the mouth of a large river, the Neva River. It connects the Ladoga Lake (a huuuge one) and the Baltic Sea. There are many sub-rivers in the delta and canals too. Now, every river is frozen.
That’s cool ! Kind of similar looking to Stockholm in a way with all the channels running like veins through the city ! Definitely many places I want to visit and I can’t wait till things get better with Corona. How is the situation over there, you guys have lock downs and a lot of regulations ?
People say St. Petersburg looks like Stockholm in some way + the same climate. I have never been to Stockholm (but I would like, of course) because it was too far from me 😃 - I usually spent my time in South and Southeast Asia last years before covid. + I need visa - and visas are boring. There are (were?) direct ferries from St.P to Stockholm.
Not many regulations. Most people don't wear masks in shops and public transportation although they officially must. At the same time, the government is trying to make people use QR-codes (as a proof of being vaccinated) and nobody likes it. I think the government will give up trying.
