Visits are good!

This week I had my friend Paul over and it was really fun! Because of him I finally have some pictures of ME IN ESTONIA. The first pictures are his courtesey. We did a lot of typical things, going to the Balti Jaam Turgu (popular as "Russian market") visiting museums and parks and lingered around the city.

You can get literally everything at Balti Jaam Turgu.

Ocupations Museum

Kadriorg Castle and Museum

The Kadriorg area has a big park and within lies the Kadriorg castle wich was initially build as a "weekend house" for the russian royal family. As history went on it was the "home" of a lot of different people. Estonian primeministers as well as occupators. Now it is the museum for " old Art" and a place were girls (and women) can become princesses.

This is at the beach near Kadriorg and I think the monument honors the russian sea military.

The other day we went to the KGB museum in the Viru Hotel. One of those hotels wich were build during sovjet times and had a secret service etage and a lot of spying technic in it. Since two years visitors are alowed to come and watch the former secret KGB chambers, which were abandoned completly in the rise of the new times which lead to the independence of Estonia.

Hahahahahaha! But do you notice the failure in it?

Dominikanerkloster

There is nothing better than a sunny afternoon at Linahall with some sweets and tea. Fortunatley, you can get a lot of estonian and russian, lithuanian or ukrainian sweets at the Balti Jaam Turgu.

Adventures

Hey there,

my course is comming to an end today and next week the university will start here. So today we have our presentation. It will be a little play in estonian language and I hope our teacher will enjoy that.
Yesterday I had some friends over and after dinner we walked to old town and joined an artist group who makes music, acrobatic and fire shows in the streets. One of my beautiful class mates joines them every evening to make music with them.

The national holiday on tuesday, we celebrated by having a bicycle tour to Paljassaare and Kopli.

 Vilma our teacher, brought us some tea and something to eat every day. She is so nice and sweet.

 Kino Sorprus. We watched "Searching for Sugarman", which was a very beautiful and intresting film about a really unbelivebale but true story. Stunning.

 Fire show.

Aegna Island

Today we went to aegna island, which is just 1 hour away from the Tallinn habour. Its a beautiful place were people spent their summer camping in the haunting beautiful wood (seriously guys it`s like your`e in a fairy tale with big, high, old trees, moosed stones, fern, a little creek, raspberrys, alot of pahtes and abandoned houses) and enjoying life having picknicks at the beach (as we did) One of my favourite thing in summer is to spent a lot of time at the lake or the beach and going swimming. So I was swimming today as well and it is just awesome. I really love the baltic sea with its cold, wavey, dark water.
