Today is a day for relaxing.
I shared a taxi with Florian and Dani and sat in the park with my laptop. Wifi everywhere, so it was nice to surf a bit on the internet. But it has been so hot lately and it was difficult to see my computerscreen, so i went to a café where Hanna works, a new HC member (username : Hannak). I ate a tunasandwich, had some multivitamin juice and updated my travel log. When the wifi connection failed I moved on to Café Angel where i had an Apple Martini, cold Gazpacho and a nice wok dish.
Some people have asked me about prices, so here is a small overview. Estonia is the most expensive of the 3 Baltic States, Lithuania being the cheapest and Latvia in the middle
A medieval Market vendor
.Prices are approximately in Euro
a train ticket (20 km) : 0,90 euro
a beer in a normal pub : between 1,5 and 2 euro (half a liter)
a liter of diesel : 0,90 euro
a liter of petrol : 0,85 (yes, diesel is MORE expensive)
an icecream : 0,25 euro ! hehe, i have been eating a lot of icecream
a good meal with a nice glass of wine in a decent restaurant : 9 euro
entrance to a museum : 1,50 euro
a cinema ticket : between 7 and 9 euro
24 hours of wifi (wireless) internet in petrol stations, parks, markets etc : 0,85 euro
I also took some pictures of people on the Medieval Market. Check them in my photo album.
Tonight i went for a drink with Anna and Vladimir and a friend of them who studies French in Evening Classes. After that we went to another place for cakes and tea, and finally we had late dinner in the African Kitchen (www.africankitchen.ee) for a good piece of fish.
Tomorrow I'm meeting my new host, Ele, who will hopefully initiate me in the mysteries of cosmetics :)
