Colie's corner

The trip to Tallinn during the weekend was actually pretty fun. To be honest I wasn't excited over the trip, it was more like a duty for me to participate it as a board member. I am glad that the trip was so successful, it was filled with chat and laughter. It's great that everyone had a bright smile on their face throughout the whole trip. I really didn't like the boat though, we went there with "victoria" which is the oldest boat Silja Line has. The ice-floes crushed against the boat really loudly! Both me and Miss T were really scared!
However, I doubt it would have been fun without the company I travelled with. Tallinn is really not an interesting city. Well, there were some beautiful architectures but nothing extremely worthwhile to see. I think our guide realised it himself as he said in the tour bus " Eer and here you can see some old apartments from the sovjet time... eer nothing scary about them.... they are only apartments...". But it is really cheap there though, we went to Vapiano and had a cheap and awesome lunch! Anyways I'm going to summarize all interesting/fun incidents in bullet points:
* We kind of ripped off a taxi driver, but seriously it was entirely his own fault! Estonian taxi drivers are not trustworthy at all! They take advantage of tourists by taking a detour route and hoping that the passengers are dumb enough to not notice anything. So this is what happened to us, and it was really an OBVIOUS detour! So Miss P was couragous enough to confront the stupid taxi driver and said:
- we are not going to pay more than 62 EEK(taxi driver mumbles something incoherent)
- I am NOT going to discuss this matter with you, so we are getting off now. Good bye.

* We felt like aliens in Tallinn: no I am not exaggerating. There are hardly any "coloured" people living in Tallinn. We got SO many wierd looks from the local people, they even went past and turned around to look. What are we to them? Elephants??

* Miss T used a nail cutter at the store on the boat: Yes, and without paying it haha! She broke her nail so she desperately needed to cut it. She was initially planning to buy one but Miss H thought it was stupid to buy a nail cutter for 30kr to cut her nail on the boat. So we tried to hide her in a somewhat discreet way while she cut her nail hahahahaaa! Yes, I know. Chinese people are so cheap. Don't blame us, it's the genes.


* One of the guys was drunk and sleep-walked in his underpants: He probably couldn't stand the snooring from his roomate.

* Miss H woke up the whole corridor with her "monstrous" laughther: That could wake up a dead person from his grave.

* I started to speak "göteborgska" because of Miss T

p.s. No I didn't buy anything special (only chocolates and candies) because the Estonian fashion isn't really my style... too much bling bling
