I haven't had much to post about lately as I was busy working on a big presentation a couple of weeks ago and last week I just didn't do any thing of interest. Not much happened this past weekend either, but the Christmas Market opened, and it's rather quaint. The Christmas Market is just a bunch of stalls set up outside the town hall surrounding a massive Christmas tree. There's also a couple of reindeer.
The tree managed to get into the news lately though due to unusually strong winds on Sunday and Monday. This short video shows what happened. If the time on the video is correct, I was actually in the old town when it fell, but we had already left the Christmas Market by then as the stalls were closed. I saw it today, and it's now back up, if a bit shorter.
I guess another important thing that has happened recently is that my roommates moved out. It had come up early on that all of us had requested a room to ourselves, but none of us got one due to a shortage of student housing. Deciding that student housing wasn't really for them, and since they're all going to be in Tallinn for awhile to finish their degrees, they figured the best thing to do was to get an apartment elsewhere. Of course, moving made no sense for me since I only have a couple of weeks left, but I still got what I originally wanted, which is a room to myself. So close to the end of the semester, they're probably not going to move anyone else in before I leave. Although, it presents one problem in that they took all the best kitchen utensils with them.

You forgot the Hungarian chimney bread and the folk dance. There was also glogg, verivorst and waffles, not to mention the cow cheese slicers which you liked.
I liked the guy who wished you happiness -ladies and money.
