CRAZY weekend to Tallinn, Estonia (Eestii)


at a nice restaurant in downtown Tallinn

the old town

The crew

If I tell you a story involving porn, laughters, cigars, tons of booze, and lacking saliva, you would probably wanna hear it.

So here's the story.

So we all got on the boat to Tallinn, well, Tallinn isn't really the focus here since most people just stay on the boat the whole time and drink and do tons of other crap.

So we did

Well, the story basically doesn't get better until on the way back, aside from that Samy had made out with an Italian girl for 4 hours and was outa saliva because of that, when Lowin suggested that she would race anyone without clothes on (still got the underwear) in the hallway. So our German roommates from Linköping were totally on about it. And then one thing led to another, Lowin decided to order porn for the room and everyone could chip in. At the end, only 5 of us including Lowin were willing to chip in because it was for the whole 24 hours.

So we did

We turned up the volume to the max so the corridor could hear us and left our door open.
Meanwhile, we were playing blackjack just to pretend that nothing is happening except that. And every time anyone passed the hallway we would try to get them in to play blackjack with us. But finally there was only one volunteer who enjoyed the whole night with us.
But you can never enjoy people's faces more than the passing girls'. So funny to watch them frown at the door when looking in with this wanting-to-laugh-and-join-but-embarrassed look on the faces. One American girl heard the background music but not the moaning stopped and asked, "What band is this? It sounds pretty cool!" and came in to watch. But she was quite open-minded so just reacted by saying "Why didn't I think of ordering porn?" Many guys popped in several times just to watch for a few sec and left. They dared not stay because they were cowards. I am saying this because many of them popped in at least 3 times and said "This is gross" but came back every time for more.

Enough of that

So it's also my first time smoking a cigar which made me feel cool. Romain bought some from the boutique store and lit one up. I was also interested since it seems like every cool guy in the movies has to smoke a cigar at some point of his career. Wanting to be cool I inhaled deeply into my lungs. But then Romain stopped me from doing that cause you are not supposed to suck the air in deeper than in your mouth. So I took some more and it didn't really feel much except that you feel this tickling/burning feel at the start of your throat. As drunk as I could ever be, I tapped at the tip of the cigar to get the ashes off, burning my finger tip at the same time. Romain got a shocking look on his face and questioned what the fuck I was doing. I didn't really know. But the burn was quite mild, nothing serious.

Tallinn was a nice town but...

it was rainy when we got off the boat. By we I mean Lukas and I because the others were sleeping like logs and Julie and Mathieu already went off without us. So as first-timers, we decided to head off ourselves to take advantage of the time. Nice medieval walls and structures all over the place. Not so many people walking nor shops opened. So that was the deal and the rain got harder and harder so we found a nice little cafe for breakfast. Interesting enough, as I started talking to Lukas, although he's a pretty quiet guy, he told me about a sport called Orienteering.
This sport has only two components. first, a map of a forest, second, a compass. That's all you need for the sport. It's cool that I think he's the first guy I have met doing this sport. It requires quite much of sense of direction and an adventurous mind. Oh, by the way, Lukas is a guy from near Zurich who had already workstudied for 4 years and now is on his bachelor's degree.

Anyway, Tallinn was much to see but the weather didn't really permit us to do so so we headed back onto the boat.
