On the occasion that St. Petersburg does not have much to offer adventurous students on the weekend, a common weekend getaway lies in the city of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, an ex-Soviet republic highly dependent on the floundering Euro, and the European Union. This country is extremely small, and 1 full day in the city was enough to explore every nook and cranny of this beautiful Baltic state capital. The main attraction is the medieval old town, complete with cobblestone streets and old churches. Here are some pictures from our wandering/exploring, whatever one might call our activities that weekend.
The only hilarious thing worth noting besides being in eastern Europe - the kind you imagine from movies - was that our hostel was located 30 minutes by bus outside of the city in an industrial park, full of women with lesser morals, and migrant workers. Quite the experience...
