Tallinn

Been to Tallinn for a couple of days. My friend Pierre who lives there visited Sweden and offered me to go back with him and stay in his apartment for a few days. Tallinn is really a city of stark contrasts. The old town is truly amazing, very well preserved and beautiful. A bit too touristy though. At the outskirts you find big Soviet-style concrete neighbourhoods where only russians live, very depressing places but still fascinating to visit. But the contrast between these areas, the old town and the Soviet suburbs, is mindblowing. It is hard to imagine that it is the same country. I enjoyed the stay, and will surely go back again.
