IMO it's quite hard to make ends meet with average salary in Estonia, but since I'm at work, I won't make a big list of the prices, but the 1st post still has quite the similar numbers. Read More


new to the scene by treks one
greetings all! i was just browsing the interwebs to try to find some estonian language courses / tutors and came across this site. figured others would be in the same boat and would be good to network and share info.

I have never played wii or ps3 for that matter (although I am a sony fanboy, just have not been able to buy it yet lol). I only have owned xbox 360 for a short while. A friend of mine, who was also playing bowling with me, and it was not her first ... Read More

Coffee anyone? by krika
Hi everybody, i am new here and by reading some posts is see you have had coffee before, so i was thinking we could reunite and new members can introduce themselves. Let me know what you think. Have a great day.

I envy you ;), although I don't go out at nights that much anyway though, although I enjoy the overpriced pubs in town. Since I'm actually moving in a few months, then most likely I'm moving closer to Old Town though, than I am currently :P. Read More

New in Tallinn by krika
Hello, i am from Mexico City and i arrived in Tallinn 2 weeks ago. I am in the adjustment stage: food, place, people. So far it has been wonderful.

Each to their own I guess. I know most people like to try new stuff, but I'm just used with the 'simple farmer foods' lol. But all this food talk got me hungry now, I should take my lunch break from work soon :P. Read More

I can't eat nothing even mildly spicy, because not much of a fan, and my liver would kill me :D. You can try meat jelly, which is kind of a weird thing to eat, quite popular in Estonia. And of course fish is common too, but cannot think of any spicy ... Read More

I'm more of the regular Estonian type of guy in terms of food - potatoes all the way. Especially I love smashed tater's with sausage/minced meat sauce.. yummy. I don't think Estonians have a lot of exotic or weird foods. Anyway, good to hear, you ... Read More
