Tartu, Estonia - 24th June 2008

By: MarionJ

Hey, buddies!

I have had a nice time here, actually :) Only bummer is that my host has been busy, she's organizing some camps for youngsters and always on the run. So we haven't had much time to go anywhere.
But luckily there's this national holiday here - Jaanipäev (Midsummer's night, I think in english). So we had the chance to go to the south of the country, to Tartu, the secong biggest city in Estonia. Because it's a university-town, there are mostly students living there. All across Estonia people go to study there, because the university is the best. It's also very old.
The busride there took us 2h 25 minutes, Estonia is quite small thankfully :)

Famous statue of the kissing students here :) In summertime the fountain is filled with detergent (washing liquid) sometimes, so it flows over with foam, hehe

Here I'm with Chester in front of an odd house. Inside of it everythings level with the ground, but outside..

The University of Tartu, I was talking about

And the theatre Vanemuine. Estonian people go to theatre all the time! VERY popular.

Ok, that was our journey in Tartu. It rained all the time, that was a bit bad. There weren't much people out too.. but we looked the news and they said there that it rains almost everywhere in Europe :)

So stay tuned, I'll be posting some news about my next location very soon. Until then, stay pretty, guys!

Veg.
