From Helsinki by boat to Tallinn. Funny image a lot of finish coming back from Tallinn stacked with booze, it´s much cheaper in Estonia.
In the boat I started to feel the eastern europe flavour (although Estonia is culturally scandinavian). Amazing girls staring and smiling at me. I had a girl waiting for me at the port, so I had to hold my instincts.
Been to a bar called "VS" eating a good steak and beers (10 euros total) and a club named Hollywood. When I was in the club I thought to myself that going with that girl there was like taking sand to a beach... The medieval center of Tallinn is worth seing although one afternoon is more than enough.
Been to other places of Estonia. Nice landscapes.
Roosh again you have to hit up eastern europe, after March is when the weather starts to get warmer.
Tallinn really is a cool city. What Pepini said about the Finns buying booze in bulk in the Estonian port is completely true. You see a bunch of guys with trolleys packed to the brim with Estonian vodka and beer. The ferry ride is only 2 hours, but there's a "route" that takes 3.5 hours and then docks in the harbor for the night. It's a cheap weekend out for the Finns.
10 Euros for a steak seems a bit cheap to me, even for Tallinn. I've been to Tallinn 4 or 5 times now and I don't think I've ever eaten lunch in the center for less than 10-15 dollars.
Tallinn is a great city to travel to because everyone knows English. It's similar to Helsinki and Stockholm in that respect, but about 50% less expensive.
