Need some help with St Petersburg (St. Petersburg)

Hello everyone, Im Sean, from Northern Ireland, I shall be moving to St Petersburg on the 1st of February, diving head first into a new experience. I currently have zero contacts in St Petersburg other than my employer.

So I have come here to see if anyone has any offerings of advice, or if anyone is willing to meet up for a drink or discussion when i arrive that would be brilliant, so I can get my bearings on a new city.

Also may I reiterate any advice or words of wisdom are very welcome so feel free to contact me. Have a very Happy Christmas everyone.
