Jul 29, 2012 04:29

Sveiki draugi! (='Hello friends' in Latvian!) This is Nina, 23, from Finland. Been absent here for many months. I am currently moving to Helsinki, as I got admitted to business studies there (I decided to drop linguistics at university) and my bf will move to Finland to join me! So SUPER excited about everything! My summer's not been that special, ( Read more... )

Big day!..wow..
good that you didn't buy that russian book, I am not even sure if it is Russian - some words looked weird:)

fossa_s July 29 2012, 06:06:17 UTC

It is Russian, although I have never heard somebody translating "screensaver" to Russian - it sounds really weird :)

I wonder if it could be that they treat tge language differently in Estonia? Like try to avoid loan words more? Just my hypothesis...

fossa_s July 31 2012, 18:41:43 UTC

love it!

Very interesting day! I wish I could travel to neighboring countries as easy, as you do and speak as many languages, as you do.

ninchia July 30 2012, 08:28:59 UTC

Oh thanks... About living where I do, I really love going to neighbouring countries. (I speak the language of each one of them and find them interesting!)

Hej, I always enjoy your posts here so much. I don't know any of the bands but the festival looks great!
As my boy and I are planning to go to Riga and Tallinn soon I'm really interested in your post from Riga and also if you can recommend some nice spots in Talinn and around, I'd like to hear about them.
Another thing: Would you recommend exchange money before (in Germany) or is it hard to find places to convert in Riga and Tallinn?

ninchia July 30 2012, 08:35:35 UTC

Hej där!
It's an awesome festival, they had foreign artists too, this time Damien Rice, Keane, Manic Street Preachers, Housse de Racket, what else.... And there's a great atmosphere!! I can recommend it! You can come for the international artists and randomly fall in love with Baltic acts, that can happen.

Cool that you wanna go to these places! In Riga as it's a city there are more than enough currency converting points. In Tallinn I haven't paid attention to them as Estonia belongs to the eurozone so I don't need to think of it there...

When going to Latvia I converted at home because I was going to the festival in the middle of forest. :D

In Tallinn I can recommend checking out the Kadriorg area (and the KUMU art museum there), <- and near these places the singing grounds where the singing revolution took place, the television tower that they just re-opened, the KGB room in the Viru hotel, going on top of the old town to see for instance the parliament and the Orthodox church, taking a tram/trolleybus to the suburbs... I like ( ... )

Tausend Dank für die Empfehlungen! :)
Ich erinnere mich an deinen Eintrag über das KGB-Museum - ich glaube, das ist genau das richtige für uns, weil wir beide Neuere Geschichte studiert haben.
Wir mögen vor allem kleine bunte Indie/Alternative Läden und Cafés, Vegetarische Küche und Streetart und suchen noch ein paar Tipps.
Ich habe zufällig diesen Eintrag gefunden (http://i-love-tallinn.livejournal.com/255569.html#cutid1), verstehe aber kein Wort. Weißt du, ob es das immer noch in Talinn gibt und wenn ja, wo? Oder war das nur 2009?
