Ever since I was a kid and learned that I share a name with a river in Russia I've wanted to see it. I finally did, actually living on the river for several days in a cruise ship.
Since everyone knows that the river running through St. Petersburg is the Neva there are no signs by the bridges identifying it. But all around the city there are big outdoor "You Are Here" sign boards showing the river with the name in both Cyrillic and western alphabet (HEBA = NEVA). One was located at the cruise ship dock in the southeastern suburbs of the city.
