Guess what I did last night? That’s right! I went walking! Yeah! So the Tartu Film Festival is this week, and they set up a giant, inflatable screen in the town square and showed some movies. The theme is love, which of course explains the Kirsten Dunst period piece science-drama extravaganza that they showed. I […]

OMG, you guys! Yesterday was epic. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.  

Man!  Sorry it’s been awhile since I rapped at ya.. Anyone remember that columnist from the Onion?  That dude was cool. So class is good.  Three hours in the morning, lunch break, then more class, or lectures, or tours or whatnot. I’ve watched two Estonian movies this week.  Vilmne Reliikvia, which is a weird Soviet […]

  I’m totally back in Tartu. For real.  I may have mentioned this in the past, but I’ve got a rather strong preference for Tartu over Tallin (though neither of them are Haapsalu..? ) so I’m pretty happy to be back.  Unfortunately, my hostel is tiny, there’s no wifi in the room, the window shade is absolutely […]

I just posted this photo with semi-cryptic caption: Why do we care? Link.

First things first: I would like to thank the above girl, whoever she is, for not stealing my phone.  Last Thursday, I went to a restaurant for  dinner.  We were sitting on a bench waiting for a table to open up, and I was goofing around, looking at my camera and playing with my  phone, […]

There’s a huge surge in interest in the demographic make up of my Estonian class and the varying reasons people have for being here. So here we go.  It’s up to you how much you want to consider this account fictional, but it’s at least pretty fictional. Ralph is from Northern England.  He has a […]

Man,  this has taken me awhile.  I figured rather than just uploading some photos, I would do them all, which is clearly a bad idea, but that’s kind of my forte. On Saturday I left on a trip to the Northeast part of the country.  We went to an old oil shale mine that has […]

I hope these are all self explanatory, but I’m not going to add anything. Also: sorry that it’s going to take three days to load.
