I also only went to Saint Petersburg in Russia and New York, Philadelphia and DC in the US, of which I guess Philadelphia felt somewhat alright and New York was a bit of a strange mix. DC was weird, but I'm sure Moscow would have been back in the day as well. Maybe not a fair comparison.

    I would say Saint Petersburg isn't too different from Moscow (albeit I've never lived there, only visited).

    But I agree in the overall discussion point. US is surprisingly like russia, locals in both countries are into their provincial polemics and axiomatic beliefs.
