On October 16, the Lilleküla Circular Economy Center (located at Mustjõe 40) was officially opened, marking the first of its kind in both Tallinn and Estonia. The center offers residents the opportunity to sort their waste and repair items.

The city of Tallinn turned one of its waste-treatment plants into a circular economy center, with collection points, repair stations, second-hand shops and educational programs, to encourage citizens to engage with the waste sector.

“Human activity has disrupted the natural balance. We need to bring our actions back within nature’s limits, and the circular economy plays a key role in this process,”

The Lilleküla Circular Economy Center is located in the heart of the community, offering residents an easy and convenient way to sort waste. The complex is bordered on two sides by a noise barrier, and the surrounding area is richly landscaped. In November, a smart access system will be launched, allowing visitors to book a time online for waste drop-off, select the types and quantities of waste, enter their vehicle number, and, if necessary, pay for the service. The barrier opens automatically when the vehicle’s number is recognized, making entry quick and convenient. LED-lit signage ensures visibility even in the dark, making it easy to sort waste properly.

In the center’s sewing repair workshop, anyone can repair their broken clothes or household textiles. The workshop is equipped with machines and tools, including sewing machines, an ironing center, scissors, measuring tapes, and needles. Both beginners and experienced sewers can receive guidance from a professional tailor. In the soft furniture repair workshop, residents can fix their broken furniture, with tips provided by a skilled upholsterer. The workshop is equipped with all the necessary tools, including sewing machines, foam saws, staple guns, and compressors. Visitors only need to bring their own materials to both workshops. Another noteworthy feature is the free reuse room, where visitors can bring items that are no longer needed but still in good condition, giving them a second life where they are needed. The circular economy center also includes a free bicycle repair station and an environmentally-friendly toilet, which uses handwashing water for flushing.

Please tell me I’m not the only sad bojere bitch who’s suffering from post bojere reunion depression. Any tips how to survive these sad and dark times?

Oh but the depression is real! You are definitely not the only one. I have been in the post tour blues since Tallinn so I definitely know how you feel.

I mean, a crash in your mood and energy is pretty normal after a endorphin high, like a live gig. Wasn't there a post going around about this with, like, actual science?

As for how to survive - self care? Do things you enjoy and be really gentle to yourself. Remember to eat and drink water and try to get lots of sleep. It's also okay to wallow in your favourite gifs and videos, but maybe also try to think of something else to do. And remember to bitch and moan about it to your friends ❤️ (my dms are always open!!)

Did I answer this too seriously? I mean, I hear writing some very fluffy reunion smut might help too. Just saying.

Tag Vier ¦ Lettland - Riga

Erwachen an der Düna

Nach dem Erwachen auf "unserer" Insel in Riga kochten wir erstmal einen Kaffee und genossen noch etwas die Aussicht aufs Grüne, die einem dieser Rückzugsort bietet. Muss toll sein, als Bewohner der Stadt einen solchen Ort in unmittelbarer Nähe zu haben. Dann fuhren wir in die Innenstadt, wo wir uns nochmals mit Marco trafen, mit dem wir dann den großen Markt in den Zeppelinhallen erkundeten. Dort gab es allerlei zu sehen, viel Fleisch, Fisch und Käse, aber auch Honig, Backwaren, Gewürze, Obst, Gemüse und Kleidung, Haushaltswaren und sonstiges. Es herrschte ein buntes Treiben mit allerlei Menschen die hier ihre Einkäufe tätigen, der Markt findet täglich statt von 8 bis 18 Uhr, und anscheinend gibt es täglich bis zu 100.000 Besucher.

Der Markt in den Zeppelinhallen

Dann haben wir uns noch jeder einen Becher des hier beliebten Getränks Kvass geholt, einer Art Mischung aus Malzbier und Radler, und schließlich noch in einem Foodcourt etwas gegessen.

Unser Mittagessen

Abschied von Marco

Dann hieß es Abschied nehmen von Marco, denn wir wollten weiterziehen und er wird sich morgen wieder in den Sattel schwingen und weiter radeln, bis er sein Ziel in Helsinki erreicht.

Unser Ziel war jetzt erstmal das Meer, also fuhren wir raus aus Riga und passierten bald die Brücke nach Jūrmala, einer Stadt auf einer vorgelagerten Landzunge, deren Befahrung eine kleine Maut kostet. Dafür sind dann die örtlichen Parkplätze kostenfrei und wir steuerten einen direkt am Strand an. Dort sollte sich eine kostenlose Ladesäule befinden, leider war die jedoch außer Betrieb. Die nächsten Stunden verbrachten wir dann am Strand und genossen die strahlende Sonne und die Meeresbrise. Ins Wasser gingen wir nicht, da am Strand ein Schild hing dass vom Baden abgeraten werde.

Der Sandstrand bei Jūrmala

Nach dem Sonne tanken machten wir eine Lagebesprechung und fuhren wieder in Richtung Riga, wo wir den örtlichen Supercharger besuchten. Der ist immer gut belegt und hat die Eigenheit, dass er seit einiger Zeit schon nur einen Teil seiner eigentlichen Leistung liefert, weshalb tagsüber gerne ein kleiner Stau entsteht. Als wir dort ankamen, waren alle Plätze belegt und vor uns warteten noch mehrere andere darauf, laden zu können. Als wir gerade unsere Möglichkeiten evaluierten, kam ein Mann auf uns zu und fragte uns wie voll wir laden wollen würden, um abzuschätzen ob er hier bleiben oder weiterfahren würde.

Es stellte sich dann heraus, dass er Lukas heißt, ein deutscher Teslafahrer ist und es entwickelte sich ein langes Gespräch über unser Ziel und unseren Plan und wir bekamen noch einige gute Tips für Ladestationen und Schlafplätze auf dem Weg nach Tallinn, denn er ist aktuell für seinen Ph.D. in Riga an der Universität und hat die letzen Wochenenden schon einige Ausflüge in die Umgebung gemacht.

Durch das Gespräch verging die Wartezeit flott und wir waren an der Reihe mit Laden. Nach dem anstecken gingen wir noch ins nebenstehende Einkaufszentrum, um uns mit einem abendlichen Snack und frischem Wasservorrat einzudecken. Nach erfolgter Ladung fuhren wir schließlich noch eine Stunde die Küste richtung Norden hoch, wo wir perfekt zum Sonnenuntergang an einem Parkplatz direkt am Strand ankamen. Dort errichtete Dennis sein Zelt am Strand, in dem er die Nacht schlafen wird und wir ließen den Abend gemütlich ausklingen.

Unser Stellplatz für die kommende Nacht

Morgen geht's weiter nach Tallinn.

Bis dahin.

hiii,

this might be a bit random but

im a finn who has been recently considering moving to tallinn.

while this is very in the beginning stages of it all and just looking if it's even possible (job, apartment etc.) i have looked a bit at what kind of rental places there would be available. so my question is are all rental apartments fully furnished? is it possible to get one that is not furnished if requested?

as in finland they're not, and you but your own furniture, but when i lived in malta all the rentals were fully furnished. so i was just wondering how it is in estonia?

also any other tips for someone considering moving to estonia and tallinn?

aitäh ✌🏻🤗

hiii! so sorry for the late answer!

rental apartments usually have the information on the ads regarding whether it's furnished or not. most apartments are, from what i've seen, but quite often you can ask the owner to come with your own furniture if you'd like :)

ole hyvä!

Eurovision 2003: The Stage and Set Design

LTV had approximately as much money as ETV the year before as well as a venue of roughly the same size and dimensions. But while Tallinn 2002 looked tiny, Riga 2003 looks expansive. There are arches all over the places, a call-back to 1997. The stage has a huge white apron that can be illuminated in any colour. The performance area is bigger, while the whole thing looks pushed forward into the arena instead of huddle at the back of it. They've even remembered to put in some steps leading up to the stage!

Instead of a walk way or mini-stage, or a small crowd of audience members standing around, this year the entire surround of the stage is filled with lights to make the performance area look even bigger.

The graphic are still curvy and incorporate the clay theme from the intro. Flowers are all over the place. If last year felt organic, this feels positively biological. There's still room for computer generated imagery even in the huge expanse of claymation. It's one of the hints that some bits of this may have been last minute or ran severely over deadline. Or maybe they just ran out of modelling clay. Occasionally a straightforward computer overlay has to be used - for instance the country name background below.

There are floor LEDs, although they're not used to a huge extent, but there are no backdrop LEDs or any rear of stage artworks. The stage feels like it's tipping forward towards the crowd, giving a good view of the acts to the entire hall. It's a stage that presents rather than hides its performers.

That green room is styled after the graphics, with huge fluffy sofas that look like pale blue clouds arrayed in three rows, all pointing forward like they're watching a film. During the show, when we visit the green room it doesn't look too different to green rooms of the past, but the major innovation and surprise of 2003 is staring us right in the face.

Those arches aren't only hiding cameras and lights. Just before the voting sequence, the curtain at the back of the stage is pulled up to reveal the entire green room behind and they're all looking straight out across the stage towards the audience. It's the first time the green room has been incorporated into the main arena like this.

Instantly the performers become part of the audience, enjoying the show together. The crowd get to see their reactions to the scores. It's a brilliant idea and the reveal is also magical. No hint was given that they were all there, behind the stage. Even watching it now, there's a sense of celebration and belonging that's absent when they're all fenced off in a set-dressed docking bay out the back of the stadium.

This positioning of the green room also solves another problem. No more walks through backstage for the winners. They can just go down some steps and onto the stage. They're basically there already. And all the other acts get to join in with the congratulations from behind the stage during the winners' reprise.

The wonderful stage design this year was by Aigars Ozoliņš on a theme of "Planet Latvia".

thanks @cantthinkofagood-name for the tips, I guess if you search for groups with "Annan ära" in name, you might find others for other locations, although it seems many of them are mostly just marketplaces, with very rare "giving away" posts in between.

Sometimes there are also separate book swap groups, reciprocal teaching/learning groups, language practice groups, and similar.

[chiara-klara-claire]

Trying to figure out if my (late-)summer holiday should be in the Baltic countries as I had first thought, Japan (visiting penpals instead of going to Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka) or maybe Scotland, and maybe visiting someoen in Denmark or maybe even visit someone in Bordeaux. And I should also go to my family in Italy 🥲😵‍💫 anyone tips?

This escalated once I got my passport and can virtually go anywhere + I panicked bc it seems Japan will make everything double as expensive for foreigners

Kinda thinking in Baltic countries I should enjoy nature with someone, so gonna look up if there are group travel things?? Or maybe I should just go to tallinn around Christmas… idk

Nägemist ja aitäh, Tallinn

Arriving in Tallinn to pursue a doctoral project was, at first glance, a challenge wrapped in uncertainties. The mere notion – or rather, the lack thereof – of what lay ahead filled me with anxiety. The fear of venturing into an unknown place, with no concrete references, no friends or acquaintances beyond those with whom I had exchanged emails, was inevitable. Nothing could truly prepare me for the experience of landing at night in a strange city, with an indecipherable language and a culture so distant from anything I had ever known.

The first impact was the overwhelming sense of solitude amid the crowd. Tallinn was still cold – it was early April 2016. A reserved city, where silence seemed to naturally inhabit the streets and the faces of its people. But as soon as the work began with those I had previously communicated with, I realized that behind the apparent distance, there was warmth. The local people, though discreet, showed an admirable willingness to help. More than that, it was an incredibly tech-savvy city, where technology permeated every aspect of daily life, making it agile and efficient. My contacts were always helpful, always pointing me to someone else I should talk to. It was fascinating to see that, after a few conversations, given how small the place was, I would often be referred to someone I had already spoken to or who was on my list. This gave me a reassuring sense of being on the right path.

As the days passed, the city began to reveal itself. Small details turned into emotional landmarks: the daily runs on completely flat terrain; the croissant and cappuccino from an Italian café that became a comforting ritual; the cinema with double subtitles, in Russian and Estonian; a traditional deer soup in a restaurant that retained its medieval character, said to have been founded some 800 years ago, dimly lit by scarce candles, where one had to fish for pickles from a barrel using a stick with a nail at the tip, and where the attendants charged in euros but simply said "money"; the wood-made houses from the traditional neighborhoods, the extremely well preserved medieval constructions of the old town, a few words learned from this still-mysterious language, carrying an interesting musicality. Above all, Vana Toomas, the legendary guardian of the city, must never tire of admiring from his privileged position atop the tallest tower in town: the breathtaking beauty of the Baltic Sea, whose singular shade of blue deserved a name of its own – Baltic Blue.

And it wasn’t just the places that marked this journey. Unexpected people crossed my path, and improbable colleagues became allies, building a support network that turned Tallinn into one of those places that remain forever in memory. It was a period of small daily triumphs, joyful moments, and discoveries that became precious recollections. I returned there twice more, always with a heavy heart when it was time to leave.

At the conclusion of this first stay, a symbolic celebration: Victory Day in May. A song marked that time, and I had the chance to witness a performance by the original artists at the same event. I didn’t understand the lyrics, but something in its melody and how it was sung carried a clear and comforting message: in the end, everything would be alright.

Pea meeles head, las halb läheb oma teed! Keegi teine ei teada saa mis toimub sinu sees sa kogu elu oma laulu lood kord kaotuse, kord võid koju tood.

Exploring the Enchanting Baltics: From Dhaka to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania

Embarking on a journey from Dhaka to the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania unveils a rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural splendor. These three nations, nestled along the Baltic Sea, offer an extraordinary blend of medieval charm, modern sophistication, and breathtaking landscapes.

Estonia: A Step Back in Time

Our adventure began in Estonia, a country renowned for its seamless integration of medieval heritage and contemporary innovation.

Tallinn’s Old Town: The medieval heart of Tallinn, with its cobbled streets and well-preserved Hanseatic architecture, made us feel like we had stepped into a fairy tale. Highlights included the majestic Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the panoramic views from Toompea Hill.

Kumu Art Museum: The Kumu Art Museum provided a fascinating journey through Estonian art, from classical to contemporary works. The museum’s striking modern design was a sharp contrast to the historic surroundings of Tallinn’s Old Town.

Lahemaa National Park: A visit to Lahemaa National Park offered a serene escape into Estonia's natural beauty. We wandered through dense forests, explored rugged coastlines, and visited charming manors, soaking in the tranquility and pristine landscapes.

Latvia: Where Tradition Meets Innovation

Our next stop was Latvia, a country where historic richness and modern vibrancy coexist harmoniously.

Riga’s Old Town: Riga’s Old Town enchanted us with its colorful facades and stunning Art Nouveau architecture. The lively atmosphere of Dome Square and the views from St. Peter’s Church were particularly memorable.

Riga Central Market: Situated in repurposed Zeppelin hangars, Riga Central Market was a sensory delight. We savored local specialties such as smoked fish, fresh produce, and traditional pastries, experiencing the flavors of Latvia firsthand.

Jūrmala Beach: Just a short drive from Riga, Jūrmala offered a peaceful retreat with its sandy beaches and quaint wooden houses. Strolling along the coast and enjoying the sea breeze was a perfect way to unwind.

Lithuania: A Tapestry of History and Culture

Lithuania, our final destination, captivated us with its rich history, cultural heritage, and picturesque landscapes.

Vilnius Old Town: Vilnius, with its Baroque architecture and vibrant arts scene, was a cultural treasure. The Gediminas Castle Tower provided stunning views over the city, while the bustling Pilies Street was alive with cafes and street performers.

Trakai Island Castle: Located on an island in Lake Galvė, Trakai Island Castle was a highlight of our Lithuanian journey. The medieval fortress, surrounded by tranquil waters, offered a glimpse into Lithuania's storied past.

Hill of Crosses: Near the city of Šiauliai, the Hill of Crosses was a profoundly moving site. Thousands of crosses of varying sizes and styles created a powerful symbol of faith and resilience, making it a deeply spiritual experience.

Practical Tips for Bangladeshi Travelers

For Bangladeshi travelers, planning a trip to the Baltics is made easier with the assistance of travel agencies such as Roomchai, ShareTrip, and GoZayaan. These agencies provide comprehensive packages and support, including visa assistance, accommodation bookings, and tailored itineraries.

Visa and Documentation: Begin the Schengen visa application process well in advance, ensuring all necessary documents are meticulously prepared.

Accommodation: Secure accommodations early, opting for centrally located hotels in urban areas and charming guesthouses in rural settings.

Local Transport: Utilize efficient public transportation within cities and consider renting a car for exploring the scenic countryside.

Cuisine and Cultural Etiquette: Delight in the diverse culinary offerings of the Baltics and learn basic phrases in Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian to enhance your travel experience.

Conclusion

Journeying from Dhaka to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania opens up a world of medieval wonders, vibrant cities, and stunning natural landscapes. With the guidance of travel agencies, Bangladeshi travelers can seamlessly navigate the intricacies of travel planning and immerse themselves in the enchanting beauty of the Baltic States. This adventure promises unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation of these captivating countries.
