city of good thoughts

Tartu fountain, in front of the university

Tartu, academic capital of Estonia, full of signs of student life. Sister-school of Uppsala, contemporary of Lund. Theres a ´sacrificial stone´ from pagan times where now, supposedly, students burn their notes after exams. I have a nice little room all to myself just 2km out of town. Meelika met me in the central square and tonight we´re going to her roommate´s birthday party. Last night I stayed at the apartment of a guy who I met at an ATM. In the store there is Maribou chocolate. And Kalev sells advent calendars for EU ascession: eat the little bit of chocolate when that country ratifies ascession.
