I like houses with slanted roofs, like this one, in Mändjala Village. Sometimes the roof is so tilted, that the edge touches the ground. Sometimes the tilt is asymmetrical - extra points.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
aet, this is the kind I was asking you about, remember?(picture stolen off the internet)
Saaremaa Summary.
Sep. 1st, 2007 08:12 am| Dad just loves maps. After our visit to Saaremaa he took his Corel Draw and produced this route map. Pretty good coverage, but only of the most touristic places. I wish I could get back there, for the "off the beaten track" locations (I can only imagine the beaches this island has, not to mention the small islets). Maybe in a few years, when Yahel is older... |  |
( for the bigger picture )
This change point in Tallinn will deal with Iiiisraeli Seeeekels. Good to know. Maybe I won't have to buy euros next time around.
Machine Revealed.
Aug. 24th, 2007 06:34 amWell, that was an easy one. Of course, it's a phone recharger. It has every possible connector you can think of, and it's supposed to charge your phone while you eat, or spend time at the establishment. I think that if they had such boxes in Israel, they'd end up in many stolen phones.
Mystery Machine.

( can you guess what's their function? )

Kalevipoeg.
Aug. 17th, 2007 10:40 pmWithin the borders of Glehn's Park in Nõmme, there's a huge statue, five times the size of a human being, of the Estonian national hero Kalevipoeg. The author of the statue depicted Kalevipoeg as a shepherd, wearing a goat skin complete with head and horns. Because of these horns, the locals have titled the sculpture "Glehn's devil".
Glehn must have strongly opposed to this nickname, so he added a clarification at the foot of his massive creation:
( ceci n'est pas... )

Structure contents revealed.
Aug. 15th, 2007 08:45 amThis is some kind of a capsule hotel, Estonian style. My guess is, they put drunk drivers in there for the night.
The closest to giving the correct solution waskukukas. You win an Estonian SIM card (without roaming) with a 60 crowns (€4) balance.

Советское - значит отличное.
Aug. 14th, 2007 07:58 amNo matter how much you try to break away from the Soviet Union, some soviet stuff just won't go away. A typical label:
Translates as: "Article 3-021./2∙3, price 2.10, 13 liters, not for food products".
( it's not difficult to guess what it is )
And a bonus question: what does the missus perceive as "Swiss talk"?

It turns out that my brother Denis wrote an article about the Bronze Soldier in the Estonian Postimees paper (it's from February, before all hell broke loose). I received an approximate translation into Russian, but I cannot find anything online.
