Tallinn

Tallinn is the oldest city in Europe, supposedly. While the oldness is very QUAINT (travel book word of the day) it is not what makes it so interesting. More interesting is the locals idea of, “F the commi bastards!” James Bond has more love for Russians than the sum of the good feelings of the entire population of the Baltic States towards the east, times ten! In fact, during the Second World War the Nazi’s where viewed as welcome liberators from the USSR. This feeling resounds through out much of the former soviet block countries and can still be heard today as one country after another finds new ways to wave the bird in an easterly direction. Good soups and fish dishes as well, not to mention hotties.

GPoD: We hate Russia – Wir hassen Russland!
