greetings from Tallinn

i spent this weekend in Tallinn, 2 days, 13 meetings, 17 different organizations came to meet with us. But what about Tallinn as such? i still like the city - its small and quite cozy, easy to navigate around, people seem to be friendly or at least not hostile.. recently Tallinn had to withstand two waves of foreigners- for last 10 years Finnish would come by ferries for cheap alcohol and now with a arrival of co-called "cheap-airlines" British come to celebrate their stager parties here.. so Saturday night in the Old Town you would see (and hear, oh yes, hear them:) more British than local people and Tallinn seems as yet another town somewhere in UK - with football broadcasting, with drunk people around the streets... globalization..

hey, sorry I didn't say good bye, you were in the middle of the meetings when I left the office. I had planned to hang out with you later, but I really wasn't well. So I had to spend my weekend in bed... But I hope that Sven and others kept you busy and entertained! Anyway, it was so nice to see you again and be reminded of your sense of humor :)
Take care and see you!
