Harry Potter in Russian

Below is a photo of a Harry Potter book in Russian. The Russian alphabet has no «h» so the letter «g» is used instead. Words such as «hamburger» in Russian are pronounced «gamburger» Harry Potter is pronounced «Garry Potter,» Harvard is Garvard, etc. The Hermitage in Russian, is called the Ermitage. Russians also roll their r’s. They also eat a lot of cabbage such as the cabbage kimchi is made from but their cabbage is not spicy at all.

St Petersburg, Russia

Korean restaurant in St Petersburg, Russia

Shilla Restaurant
6 nab reki Moyki
St Petersburg, Russia
Санкт-Петербург, наб. реки Мойки, 6

There are several Korean restaurants in St Petersburg but Shilla is the most central (less than a ten minute walk from the Hermitage). They offer lunch specials for 200 rubles and their prices for dinner are also reasonable. The owner came to St Petersburg from Seoul, fifteen years ago to study music at the Conservatory.

Below is a photo of the japchae lunch which is about 200 rubles.

St Petersburg, Russia

Below is a photo of the Church of the Spilled Blood. It was more impressive to me than St Basil’s in Moscow because St Basil’s is in front of Red Square which is huge, so in comparison, the church seemed very small.

Korean language audio guide at the Hermitage but no Korean art

A few months ago I read in Korean newspapers that the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, Russia now offers a Korean language guide and that Korean is the only Asian language audio guide offered at that museum. While it’s true there’s no Chinese or Japanese language guide, there are rooms of Chinese and Japanese art at that museum and I didn’t even see one Korean work. If Korean Air really wants to spread Korean culture throughout the world, perhaps they could donate some Korean art pieces to the Hermitage or if they already have some ensure that they are displayed. Simply offering audio guides in Korean does nothing to expose non Koreans to Korean culture; it only makes other cultures more accessible to Koreans which is a worthy goal but exposing non Koreans to Koreans to Korean culture is also important.
