tere tere
I just realized i haven't told you or showed you how was my week in Tallinn, in the end of August (thanks for reminding Kê)!
So, Of course my week was just great! I stayed over Thomas', got a chance to meet his lovely building and flat mates! I also realized that Hansa Pank doesn't exist anymore (it's SwedBank now), most of the food has the same price, Hell Hunt is exactly the same (even the pasta with smoked salmon tastes the same) and Levist is not the same, anymore (because of the dance floor and the 2 new toilets!)!
so, I leave you here with some pictures, just a few! I must confess that I took few few pictures during my week. the truth is I didnt feel like a tourist, shooting at everything. and altough I did not feel like a local (but I never ever did), i felt I was back home, after a long abset period! Kristiina contibuted to this feeling by picking me up at the airport with a nice Saku Ice bottle with a "Welcome home" sticker on it!! =)
this is the new monument to Estonian Freedom, set on Vabaduse Valjak! Finally the square is really a square, not a parking lot anymore! the opening was on August 20th, just one day after i arrived in Tallinn! Vabaduse looks really nice, now!
oh I missed those!!!
a sound installation I saw in Kumu! Yes I went there! And to Kadriorg, Kalamaja, Pirita, Baltijam... around the city centre, a lot! didnt go to the suburbs nor out of Tallinn!!
so, some of you migth be wondering who wrote some oriental stuff on the post cards you got... Well, Qho did! this nice south corean boy was living upstairs Thomas flat! We spend a lot of time together, as he was leaving Tallinn the same day I did. funny and smart, Qho was also able to cook very well, as you can see, and send you all best wishes!!
so, you all remember Margo (on the left), Maris' brother! He and Thom are not sharing the flat anymore, but they still live in the same building, just next door! This nice girl is the new flatmate of Thomas! Her name is Inga, and she is Estonian, from Tallinn! She is funny, smart and talkative!! A really nice girl, always ready to help, and very sweet! Oh! her name is Inga!!
so, there is Lena and Rocio (Thom's butterfly)!! One of the best things about this trip was meeting Rocio (and seeing Lena again, of course!). the thing is that I am very happy to finally meet this girl that makes Thom so happy! She is damn nice!! I couldn't believe!! They make such a nice couple, so sweet and funny! This was the most positive thing: to see our friends are doing great, to know that Thom has fopund the love and that the love has found him!!
remember the kitchen parties?? so, we had one! It was a Lee and Qho fareweel small party that ended up in Levist (like all other nights I was in Tallinn)! at Thom's kitchen there were people from Portugal, France, S.Corea, Spain, Ukrain, Estonia, Japan and Finland!!! Some things never change!!
oh yes!! I was there as well!! Just in case someone doubted!!
I had a great time!!! for sure!! Thanks to Thom, Kristiina, Lena, Rocio, Qho and everyone I met there (again or for the first time!)
oh! I would like to read or see something about your vacations as well!!
