On 18th August 2001 my life will be divided into two equal halves. The first took place in St Petersburg, which was then called Leningrad, and the second in Amsterdam. Although these two cities have much in common, for me St Petersburgand Amsterdamdo not overlap. The Neva and the Amstel are different rivers, and if I happen to be walking along Amsterdam’s Tsaar Peterstraat or along the Nevsky Prospekt past the DutchChurchin St Petersburg, my peripheral vision registers the difference and I see very well what sets the two cities apart. Just as a child brought up in a dual language family knows with whom in which language to speak. The number five tram has not changed its route and it stops close to my house in Amsterdam, just as it did in my past life in Leningrad, but here too no confusion arises. [download]
