As a forgeiner in the country where I currently live, I have some things I'd like to point out.

I'm white and from Western Europe. I moved to another Western European country. Sometimes, the natives here are talking about foreigners when they are with me. When I point out that I am also a foreigner, I can hear the gears in their heads grinding. When they talk about foreingers, they talk about non-white people. This country is to a certain extent welcoming to white people, but not to other foreigners. There is no progressive culture regarding non white people. It's all a facade. And it's not only directed to non-white foreigners. Even white people from Eastern Europe get shit on. And even to me they are sending mixed signals. When it's convenient for them, I'm one of their own, when it's not convenient for them, I'm an outsider.

I have, however, never had these problems with non-white foreigners or in non-white countries for some reason. Fuck this map.

Oh, so that's why we have a shitload of Chinese tourists in St.Petersburg all the time - we are meanies sticking together.

As a Chinese person, I hope to go to St. peterse one day. I've seen images and the architecture is beautiful.

I like anywhere that combines classical and socialist architecture in one place.

I have every Petersburger's medical condition that makes me not go out and see absolutely everything, cAuSe I lIvE hErE aLrEaDy, but, yeah, It's kinda surreal at times, man. We got traditional Russian churches, baroque, neoclassicism, socmodernism, a few brutalist and even neogothic pieces up in this removed. Come and have fun=)

When the reason why the Netherlands are blue on this map is also the reason why the Netherlands are blue on this map
