That takes to me to other eye thing. I went eye sight check last week and apparently I don’t see that well (mild shortsightedness). So next Thursday or Friday I should I should get my first glasses. I’m having little identity crisis going on because of this. It’s not because I’m worried how I look with glasses, it’s rather what the hell I’m doing with them. Luckily my glasses won’t be expensive (well they had summer sale going on ;)) and I didn’t take any super extra cool features that the optician tried to sell me. But I guess it’ll be good to have glasses – no need to squint all the time.

I quite like it. :D

In the middle of embroidering.

I cut two circles and sew them together.

My first impression… don’t know. I guess it’s better not to say about harbour, there were couple shopping centers for tourists who don’t want to go further than to nearest shop where they sell booze. Or travel plan included having tea and cake (and croissant) in the best café in Tallinn and cider and beer in the Depeche Mode Bar. While we walked to the Old Town (probably the most interesting part of the city) we checked few shoe shops in Viru Center. It was mixed experience. First thing I saw was Amarillo restaurant, Robert’s Café and Seppälä clothing store, you really didn’t feel home sickness there, not to mention that very near was Hesburger (Finnish hamburger restaurant and they have places also in Latvia, Lithuania and in Germany). Oh well, that’s life.

But rest of the Tallinn was beautiful. There were many small paving stone streets going between old buildings. And zillions of small crafts shops (I bought black Embroidery thread from one of them – 20m (at least I think so, there is only Russian writing) was 6EEK, which apparently is 0,40€). After the tea we went to Depeche Mode Bar, which hadn’t opened its doors yet. Even though it was already like half past noon. D: We were bit worried if bar had had to quit because of low economy. :/ We made little round in the old town before trying again and this time successfully. :D

Wow, just wow, the whole place was decorated to suit with the theme from the floor to the walls. Music was obviously by Depeche Mode. Place wasn’t exactly full, but then it was only afternoon, although my friend told that she had seen the bar full only two times… Later there came one guy and after him two girls (who stared us, hmm….), so many people. ;) We sat there listening to music maybe three hours. We could have spend there whole evening, if we weren’t supposed to go back to Finland at 5pm. :/ But we decided to try come back later this summer.

My camera’s battery ended in DM bar so unfortunately no photos when we were in Olde Hansa a medieval restaurant. I drank just a glass of spicy white wine and my friend had also forest mushroom soup. I have to say that the wine was surprisingly strong.

Unfortunately, then it was time to go back home. :(

I also started using Polyvore. It’s quite fun, though I get little irritated because of certain aesthetic problems, but I understand it’s quite difficult to have perfect images. Anyway it’s inspiring site. My fingers itch to start sewing and buying more black leggins and high heels… Sometimes I wonder if I did wrong decision considering my future career (it based mostly in rational “hmm… I wonder what this is > oh sounds interesting > ooh good job situation). Well I’m young and I have time to make enjoyable though irrational decision – hopefully. ;)

That was bizarre and quite personal actually… Anyway I hope also you like my new layout. :)
