... the shadow of the Russian tsars and empresses. In 1918, during the collapse of the Russian Monarchy, Estonia proclaimed independence for the first time and became a Democratic republic. However good things didnt last too long as the German Nazis and Soviets signed a secret pact allowing the Soviet to take over the entire Baltic 3s. The life under the Soviets were difficult with repression, Estonian citizens been sent to Siberian Gulag camps, killed ...

... dedans je me rends compte que ce n´est que de l´histoire naturelle: il n´y a que des animaux empaillés... c´est pas grave la "guichetière" m´a fait rentré sans payer!!! La ville est vraiment étrange, ou plutôt différente: Stockholm vivait sur la mer Helsinki au bord, Ici on s´en fout et tout est dans les terres (alors que Tallinn est en bord de mer). Je visite différentes zones où l´architecture est complètement l´opposé d´un quartier à l´autre... et je trouve ce cyber caf ...

... composed a geographical, and probably also a political whole, in the sense of mentality and character traits, Estonia was almost at the other end of the world. Having crossed the border, it seemed as if I had entered a realm of a rather different mindset. Rasastra office was on the upper floor of a house which looked almost as a bit larger private dwelling. I went through the formalities with a friendly and chatty lady of some years quite fast. She liked the fact ...

Finally started the trip after about 12 months of planning. I'm sat typing this on my iPod whilst waiting for pete's plane to land- that wouldn't be for another 2 hours and counting. It wouldn't be so bad but Tallinn airport is tiny and there's absolutely nobody here so it's quite obvious I'm a billy no mates! It's also rainning so its pretty much seems like I haven't left England.

... say "They're here!" The manager, an Australian called Jonathon, met us and showed us our room-to-be. He was apologetic and promised that the room would be ready by evening. Our room was almost ready, the bathroom had no door and the rest of the apartment was in disarray. There were about half a dozen student-types painting walls, moving building materials and just hanging about. It turned out that we were the hostel's first customers. When asked ...

Mai and I ate breakfast together around 9:00 and although she was supposed to do some uni work (she`s a lecturer) she hung out with me in between getting some work done at home. We chatted about social justice, education an the like. BTW, I am using my visiti to Tallinn and Mai as a way to ease into my trip - just in case you are wondering why I`m not off travelling everywhere, I have been here ...

... citizens", was not administratively united with Cathedral Hill until the late 19th century. It was the centre of the medieval trade on which it grew prosperous. The Estonian town forms a crescent to the south of the Old Town, where the Estonians came to settle. It was not until the mid-19th century that ethnic Estonians replaced the local Baltic Germans as the majority amongst the residents of Tallinn. Historically, the city has been attacked, sacked, razed and pillaged on ...
