I arrive Tuesay in Tallinn, where i spend the 2 first night in Thibautīs flat, he is from couch surfing too. Heīs living in the old part of Tallinn, beautifull flat, where he even has a sauna downstairs.
Iīve been very well welcomed. Itīs amazing how in so short time without knowing the person, you can be already trusted and so welcome.
Yesterday was a couchsurfing meeting in Tallinn, we were about 40 people, every one is open minded and friendly and most of them travel a lot. I had appointment with Margus my next host.
We went there with Reigo afetr we came back from Finland. The flying boat was not going so fast cause the sea was quite taugh.
We been very lucky cause actually all the plane and boat are cancelled. we were the last boat to cross the sea. In the boat everybody was excited at the begining because of the speed, but after a while many gets sick, it was fun:)
After we went to meet Margit, she is a a good friend of Moonika, whoo is my good friend.
It was very good to see her again, we were at CS meeting, took a lots of people from there around 2 am and went to the Mini Mani abandoned bar for the "fucked up party" that was the name, right in the middle of the buisness area.....it was a great experience, you will see on pictures.
Iīm living at the moment with Margus a bit outside the city, itīs an old Russian house.
Tonight, with Margit and her friend who wants to improve her french, we will eat the most fabulous pancakes in Estonia and after we go to the light street festival, and try the typic Estonian soup :)
Iīm actually in hurry. And itīs hard to spend a long time on internet, but i will try to do a bit more cultural travel blog, with more informations, just need to get organized, and itīll happen ;)
I will let you know more about Liepaja (Latvia), the great city, very rich in history, and very cultural place cause all the artists living there.
Monday i will be in St Petersburg :)

I wish you luck on your trip. I just ran into a website about Estonia the other day - it is a Documentary about Estonia's Singing Revolution: http://singingrevolution.com This doc may give you perspective on Estonia and Russia.
Salut les Nantais
I send you back the kisses. I want to put pictures but i am very rarely near a computer, and it takes a long time to download them, but i will take few hours to do it.
Hope that the sun is still shinning in Nantes, if not think that it can 't be worth than in Ireland.
Kiss from Russia

Re: Estonia
Hello,
Thanks you for your interest.
I had a look of the site and wash the trailer.
It's hard to imagine when we are not living in the country who's been occupied for so long, and have no rights. It's very strange after i've been to the Baltics states, not for long but enough to see the diference with Russia which seems much more open and dynamic, that some places, even though the economy for example in Estonia is much better than Russia.
