Time to relax and enjoy - travelling (part I - Tallinn)

Some of you will laugh but it was an exhausting week with all these annoying exams... unexpected exams, lies over lies in consultations, uncommunicative professors and of course low motivation to study... BUT on Thursday I did the last two exams of my official student life! I don't say last in life because I was taught by my ex-dean Mr. Peter Gomez that life is a constant learning process and that my university education is just a milestone in a lifelong learning process - I can't disagree with his statement ;-) Anyway, during the exam preparation I did various stuff to get distracted from studying such as collecting the dry leaves from the plants we haven't watered forever, cleaning my room, packing for my leave in like 2 weeks and also checking the lonely planet. There I found this schedule for buses and trains from Pieter and that reminded me of my planned trip to the Baltic countries. I grabbed my phone and called Amedeo (my ex-roommate from the dorm) and asked if he would join me... things were arranged and during my final exam (fucking statistics) I was with my mind half way in Tallinn (still had no influence on my performance, I swear my lovely mother!)... Thursday night 11pm we took the bus and arrived after a couple of hours and annoying custom agents ("no picture, no phone and smoking after pass port control, understand!?") in Tallinn... my first impression was already great: cute, small, medieval town with a lot of "European" flair (I don't know if I should generalise in this context...) and Scandinavian touch (what I really like!). Ok I exaggerate a little that I got all this impressions at 6am but they accumulated till I started writing these lines... my first impression after the walk was my pillow in our hostel (can only recommend Alur hostel!). For the past two days we were enjoying ourselves with a little sightseeing (the town is so small that we didn't want to see everything the first day), good food and some nightlife. Sightseeing all over the place but the highlight so far was the museum of occupations: amazing architecture of the building and fantastic arrangment of the exhibition, for me one of the best historic museums I have been to. Food & drinx: of course we had to go to Olde Hanse (medieval style tourist trap), food was whatever but extremely friendly service (one of this fantastic starter, whatever main dishes places...), today we had a good afternoon break at stereo lounge, minimal design, some poshy Tallinn yuppies and wanabes, very cool ;-) ! Yeah I liked it as I haven't had that for some time in Russia, ok also because of the great drinx ;-). Nightlife on Friday: Hollywood (what shall I say... for my Russia fellows: the Metro club of Tallinn)... to be continued!
