Tallin
Last weekend I was in Tallin. I liked it, quite a small medieval city, so we enjoyed the good weather relaxing a little bit. Only negative point was the quality of service in the restaurants (3 out of 3). Here you can find some photos of this trip.
We went by boat, so I took lots of photos from it.
Now, couple of typical postcard photos.
One thing which surprised me a lot was the huge quantity of good cars they had. There were plenty of BMW, Mercedes, etc. As far as I know, Estonia is still developing helped by the UE, so I don't see where those big and expensive cars come from.
One particularity of the ferries which joing Stockholm with Helsinki or Tallin, is that they stop in Åland, allowing selling in the boat taxes free products. And, as alcohol has very high taxes in Sweden, you can see this kind of images:
Sorry for this short and late post, but lately my life is a bit crazy... For example, now I'm writing from Montreal... Soon, I'll talk about this in the blog.

No es de extrañar que un pais en desarrollo, se encuentren esos de desquilibrios, en los que hay gente que gana muchisimo dinero y otros se contentan comn tener trabjo, con el tiempo las cosas se van equilibrando, en beneficio de todos. que disfrutes de tu estancia en Motreal
So many expensive cars? Russian second-hand ones. Actually one of my friends from Sevilla, who is living in Tallinn, bought a Russian 2nd hand-BMW last year, and it was really cheap.
Tío, ¿has cruzado el charco? Lo de decirte que no paras se queda ya anticuado. I've never been to Canada. People say that it's really cold in winter, not like Germany. Now I only travel inside Germany and next week to France.
Take care of u!
en realidad, estonia se desarrollo muy rapido desde su separacion de lo que era antes la urss en 1991 debido a la gran cantidad de dinero finlandes que empezó a entrar en el pais. los finlandeses de a pie se cogian el barkito para ir a tallin y hacer alli sus compras, ir al medico y demas, ya que era mucho mas barato, y esto hizo que la economia en estonia se disparase: ademas, el gobierno finlandes invirtió mucho capital,porque lo que es bueno para tus vecinos acaba siendo bueno para ti
algo parecido pasó en letonia, una gran cantidad de dinero aleman (pais que tiene bastantes lazos historicos con la zona) empezó a llegar haciendo que el pais se desarrollara bastante rapido
y por ultimo, el gran patito feo fue lituania que sin muchas alianzas externas sigue siendo casi el mismo pais que era hace 15 años
y tu que haces en montreal?
Mi favourite picture, the third one :)
Have fun in Montreal!
@Todos: Gracias por vuestros comentarios. Sobre la economía de Estonia, tiene buena pinta y lógica el comentario de Olaya... La verdad es que no me salí de la parte turística, así que no pude comprobar si hay desigualdades o no.
@Clausius: Me ha tocado una semana de muy buen tiempo, camiseta y chaqueta ligerita, pero por lo que cuentan en invierno se ponen a 30 grados bajo cero sin problemas, y en verano, a 30 sobre cero.
@Olaya: He venido a Montreal por trabajo, pero ya me vuelvo.
@Serena: That's the one I like the most too. It's a pity that I forgot my tripod 'cause the sunset was perfect.
