My Experience:

1. When I reached Tallinn for the first time, I felt.. oh god this cold is killing me..Straight from 35 C (Bangalore, India) to -15 C in 24hrs is quiet a thing to adjust both mentally and physically...

2. I stayed right in the middle of old town which is a happening place in tallinn all the night..Initial days were really boring as hell as I was very alone other than sharing dinner with my colleagues everyday... But slowly i started moving around the old town everyday to have a feel of estonian culture..

3. Lot of good restaurants from all over europe and few Indian restaurants are also there...Prices are little bit high though(at least for me).. But there are plenty of bars to drink and plenty of nightclubs(dance) to hang-around during nights. The good thing is you get Guinness and Corona everywhere...The local beer from estonia is saku which is quite good though...

4. When it was very cold and few sunlight, I found people were kind of depressed and not so friendly..But once spring/summer started people were opened up (both dress and friendly)...Made a lot of friends and hanging out in alfredo's (mexicano) house was quite fun...

5. Flying remote controlled planes was awesome though i was just watching and even made a motor bike trip to country side which was very beautiful...There were few shopping malls available and my favourite is solaris where there are good foodchains like lido and vapiano available as well as a movie theatre and a big grocery store..

6. There are few beaches around tallinn..i have been to estromi and piritia...where the later has good life...Getting around tallinn in cycle is a good idea as it is a small city compared to other european cities...It was a very hard feeling to leave the place as i enjoyed so much there...but tallinn..i will visit you
