Oops!

Well, I have been living here for the past five days, but had no reliable internet access. In which case, I will pretend I arrived today.

When we, Leigha, Kaylee, and I, tried to find what bus to take us to Tartu from the airport I found out that people did not/would not speak as much English as I thought they would. Of course, I could not fathom the Estonian accent in my imagination, but to some degree I thought it would be like living in Wales, where people know both English and Welsh fairly well.

The Estonian cities themselves were not what I had anticipated either. From the pictures I have seen, which were of the statue "Kissing Students" and old Tallinn, I was surprised to see the different styles of architecture. On one street, a person could see a house composed of wooden planks in a decorative design, a brightly coloured stucco house, and a "Soviet" building.

That's most of my first impressions, I suppose, I will post later.
Tootles.
