It's a small world after all...well that's what I was thinking when we touched down in Helsinki, then got on a bus that transferred us out onto the tarmac to our flight to Tallinn. On the bus was someone from the Sydney Eesti Maja community. By the time the flight was over, we'd say "tere" to another. By the next day, we would run into another, and so it has been since our arrival in Estonia. Holiday? What holiday??
It was good to be back though. Good to be back in a place that is genuinely starting to feel like home. Gone is the exciting jitters of going to what was a new and exciting place. Now, Tallinn is exciting, but the air of discovery is wearing off as the cover of familiarity is drawing over. The security of the place is there now. I know a lot of the streets. The language is becoming more and more understandable. The freaky locals are less freaky (without changing). It feels like I blend in a little more and so far; no-one has thought I'm Russian. HAPPY about that!
As it is, we will be leaving back for Finland before really settling in. We ave a few days on a lake to contemplate the navel and get all zen. Till then...
