A weekend in Tallin II !


Leaving Stockholm : the archipelago by boat
The whole group ! and as it turned out, most of them were french but we did speak english most of the trip...
Our room and it's great mirror window ! Luckily I was on the top bed so I didn't get crumbs from our dinner on it ...
Tallin !
The old town !
and again !
and again !
Leaving the old town for a Estonien lunch !
Our boat ! kind of a big one, and our room were right under the car deck ... (but cheap)
Leaving Tallin !

A weekend in Tallin !

Every weekend there are boats going to and back from Tallin, so I thought I would try it out !
I left on a friday and came back on sunday, after a great trip !
It was pretty fun : 2 nights on a boat and one day in Tallin for a short visit.
But I did learn how to say thank you in Estonian ("aitäh") , walked around in the old town, visited the coast and had a great lunch in a delicious cafeteria!

Here are a few pictures !

PQ : The best way to dance


I followed a friend of mine who wanted compagny to try some dance. Considering my helplessness at reproducing someone's dancing move, I was not really planning to join.

However I had a great surprise and it was well worth going since I have now joined an orchestra !

The trick is that the music the dance group dances to is from an live orchestra ! It is the same band and they work together on mostly jazz music.

And I have to say it works pretty well !





It's the best way to start the flute again as it is run by only student and completly relaxed !

They do play pretty fast and know most of the songs already but I am getting there !

Apparently it is quite common in sweden,
and so we will be meeting other orchestra/dance
group for playing and parties. It's great fun !

Lappis : better pictures have arrived

Thanks to my parents and to the many dinners
parties, I now have nicer pictures of the place I live in, especially of the shared kithchen :

For cooking new dishes in my kitchen every week for 7,

For study groups at 9:30 on a saturday morning that turn into breakfast,

For cake parties instead of dinner,

For Fika,

For jam and russian cakes,

and For last minuteplans,

I have to say I believe this is a great place to live in !
