I Won't Quote

So it is the autumn peak time with Halloween and everything... which we Estonians don't celebrate. I mean, I don't really care, but it would be nice to see Halloween things in stores, have Halloween candy and dress up... well, I think it is trying to become a thing, but more in a sense that places in town have Halloween themed parties and people dress up with their friends. But not like... what Halloween seems to mean to kids for example. But also we have some other days we celebrate from going door to door that rest of the world doesn't have. Even so, I really wish there were more feeling to it you know? Especially since everyone talk about Halloween.

I went around in Old Town today actually, to take some other kind of touristy pictures to oppose to the hipster graffiti and right before coming home I saw these adorable 2 decorations, only ones in town, right at neighbour's fence:

Okay so this time I will write about being being tourist in Tallinn. I have shared a fair share of autumn pictures, but I was talking to friends today, who have visited me, and I keep thinking that there are so many different ways of showing your home (town or country) to someone who hasn't been there.

Also, I think it is wise to mention that I love showing people around, because honestly, it gives me an excuse to do so many touristy things that I wouldn't otherways do. And that made me think... of where to start.


I love plaaaneeees. Just. Plane part of travelling is one of my favourite parts.

I think there are two sides to each place I have been to. One is the normal tourist way of seeing places like old town, some art galleries etc. And the other is seeing places like quiet streets on the rural side or small cafes. And I do love those both. And I think that it needs to have some sort of balance between them. I'm up to really just all day of museums but at the same time I wouldn't mind just walking around on random streets. I'm such a walking person in general. For me, the greatest way to explore a new place is go out in the morning and walk around, see places, and return in the evening. I'm so not the "let's go home and rest a bit during the day" person.

Anyway, I used to think of only the one way, when I was younger. I haven't travelled much, actually barely at all, so I'm trying to write down some thoughts on travelling in your own country, or in this case, town. I would like to mention, that all towns in Estonia are too small to be called cities, yes, that includes Tallinn.


Two sides, both cool, both symmetrical, both different.

I have discovered that people these days seem to appreciate something temporary a lot. Maybe because it is just like life or moments or days you are exploring, but also the uniqueness of it. For example, there are castle ruins from hundreds of years ago and they will probably be there hundreds of years to come, but that little corner store? That graffiti? That bench that has been coloured? Probably not. If a year or two.

So now, I will bring you along to a cold day (that almost took my toes off and gave me a runny nose for days, it still hasn't stopped) and show you exactly what fascinates me a lot at the moment - streets plus art. (Hopefully) enjoy!









And the main thing... which one is your favourite?

Damn, sky looks amazing 24/7. Truly something to reach for.

The news are actually actual news. I kind of stuck to the idea of trying to see how ridiculous articles publised can be, but I actually found some pretty cool ones too. So I'm quickly recommending some simple read that actually is pretty cool varia knowledge to add into conversations (especially if you are as awkward as I am...)

1. The most stupid article of the day was definitely about the new trend in taking selfies. I don't understand. Also, this was one that was in Estonian news, while the other ones here had (at least looking briefly) no mention in here. And this is so sad. Anyway, do you think these things are even considered news? What should we do to stop this? Honestly, I think this takes up so much time and space of one's day that if we could eliminate this kind of random ridiculous "news", that would be great. But anyway, if you want to check it out then...

This picture reminds me of the shrug emoji a lot. Anyway, continue.

Ever heard of fingermouthing? A bizarre new trend loved by Kylie Jenner and Bella Hadid is sweeping the internet. Read in full length: https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/1395453/ever-heard-of-fingermouthing-a-bizarre-new-trend-loved-by-kylie-jenner-and-bella-hadid-is-sweeping-the-internet/ (I'm gonna keep the links this way since then it is sure it doesn't lead you to some shady computer virus pages alrighty?)

2. The coolest article of the day was definitely about... DRAGONS! There needs to be more dragons in this world and it seems that even online news pages support it, which again, I support. Honestly, this article has everything from Game of Thrones to Harry Potter, dinosaurus and actual proof and explanation of could they really exist in scientific level, as far as to even actual fire breathing.

"Most peoples at some point in their history have believed that the dragon was real," writes anthropologist David E. Jones in the introduction to his book An Instinct for Dragons. In its pages, Jones asks why myths about dragons are so ubiquitous, citing examples from places as diverse as Hawai'i, Iceland and New Zealand. Read in full length: http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20160929-how-evolution-could-give-rise-to-real-life-dragons

3. The most interesting article of the day was definitely about planting memories. It covers both planting good and bad ones and possibilites, also some tests that have been made. I think it had a lot of good points and it was interesting to read, also it made me more aware. Do you have any memories you don't know if they really happened? Do you think you could be changed like this? Also, after reading these kind of things I think that it is still possible to happen, so I should probably make myself remember the article when having doubts. It is a fascinating subject and I'd love to hear more ideas by just people and friends and also... maybe I should even research more articles connected to this one. But also, I think one can become too paranoid by thinking too much about it... I don't know now.

Take a moment to remember an event that you experienced as a child. Pick something that’s important to you – an event that really shaped for the better the person you are today. Now ask yourself: are you sure this event truly happened? Read in full length: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20161003-would-it-be-ethical-to-implant-false-memories-in-therapy

I have missed a day (or two now) but all is well. I mean, it wasn't like I had to write every day. Actually, this feels more and more stupid. I have been thinking of several topics to write about though, so I'm going to mark these down for a change...

1. Youtubers. Yeah, I could recommend some. Also I could use some recommendations, since spending so much time online every day (as mentioned earlier), I don't really want to do anything and prefer watching videos. Sometimes on the background when I am doing something else. Like the other day I actually cleaned my closet while listening to someone's vlog since I'm much into lifestyle youtubers instead of like... I don't know, funny crap that I used to like 5-6 years ago (*cough*nigahiga*cough*).

2. More picture posts. But then I should take more pictures and I don't know of what. But the autumn is beautiful indeed. Even though we are having The First Autumn Storm this week.

3. More work stories. I have some but I don't know if it is good idea to rant about work even during my free time (I'm going to ignore the fact I am typing this at 2:24 pm on Tuesday, at WORK).

4. Apparently I seem to love lists. Maybe I should just make lists until the end of time?

5. Running. I could write how I started since I'm very unprofessional and poor and I could just write about my experience.

6. Music, since I could always write about music.

7. Norway, since I could always write about Norway.

8. Future, since it depresses me a lot and if nothing else, online is a place where you can whine (since everyone whine just as much as you and no one really cares).

9. About the most stupid news I can find during my boring times at work. Honestly, who even writes them?

10. Anything else, for example my actual day in life.

11. Reviews. I love a good review.

You can ignore OR leave me suggestions tho.
