Strange places - the Mine Museum

July 16th, 2008

You can make a museum out of everything.

I found this incredible cute little museum in UUS street near the “City Bike Hostel” and the African Restaurant “African Kitchen”. It seems to be only one small hut. Entrance fee is as small as the place: 25 EEK (~1,60 EUR).

Today half past 9 AM

June 30th, 2008

It is a beautiful sunny morning. A good opportunity to take away a coffee and go for a walk. I step outside, the sun is warm, I enjoy it and try to ignore the drunken and smelly people I pass by on my way to the Old Town. Sky blue, air warm, coffee tasty, a smile on my face, everything easy. I decide to walk up to Toompea, the only hill in Tallinn, to have a view over the city.

HÄID JAANIPÜHAD!

June 23rd, 2008

Today and tomorrow are the most important estonian holidays: Jaaniöö und Jaanipäev. As I heard these days are known for heavy use of alcoholic beverages and great parties (maybe there is some connection…). Though it will be my first Jaanipäev in Estonia: i will see, if it’s true.

Unfortunately the weather isn’t nice yet and probably it won’t get better during the day. An Estonian told me bad weather is also a tradition on Jaanipäev …

But anyway: Happy Jaanipäev everybody!

More about my first Jaanipäevexperiences tomorrow….or maybe the day after tomorrow…
