Estonia! Okay Just Tallinn

This post is dedicated to Larry Leong Bingxun

After getting back to Stockholm from Uppsala, slack for a bit, we packed for our trip to ESTONIA! On board a Tax-Free Cruise Ship no less, not unlike Superstar Virgo/Gemini/whatever of Star Cruise Singapore.

Khel's friend came to pick us up and we basically crashed at his place for the few days we were there. He goes by the name of Wayne in some circles...

We got to enjoy a traditional estonian sauna at his place while we were there, after watching Arsenal thump AC Milan.

Step 1: Get naked

Step 2: Proceed into sauna room with cold beer and towel

Step 3: Start pouring water onto hot coals to get on with it

Step 4: Sit tight, talk shit, chug beer

Step 5: When sitting tight is no longer an option, dash out of sauna room with your new best friends, burst through the front door and start rolling about in the snow outside

Step 6: Get back in for more pain and pleasure



I told Larry that the girls in Estonia were more beautiful than the ones in Sweden, to which he replied that he knew not of any Estonian supermodel.

So here's a lovely photo of Carmen Kass, recommended by Lonely Planet, courtesy of whichever website I 'borrowed' it off.



Raekoja Plats (Town Hall Square). As you wander around, you can't help but notice that the old historic buildings are being converted into swanky restaurants, designer shops, cafes .. and it's all quite jarring sometimes, especially when taking a photo. But I suppose it breathes new life into the buildings, giving them a purpose, fueling the economy.

Let's play Tower Defense!

Good view from Toompea. I just love such areas where you can have a good view below. We also tried throwing snowballs down at passer-bys but we kept missing :(



Kyle and the Great Coast Gate. Contrast, I say.

It was a very great trip, although I fell a little ill at the end of it (could definitely be the hazardous sauna experience). Have to thank my two great friends for persuading me to stay longer, which I was very hesitant to. And of course they made the trip really enjoyable.
