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.

PlatinumC

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.

PlatinumC

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
