Pickelschwanz 28 Jul 2008, 11:52
Im going there in 3 weeks for a long weekend and I would like to know good places to go for food and beer. Im not a normal tourist I don't really like to do the boring tourist stuff I want some local action!

infi_ 28 Jul 2008, 12:13
i dno what ur into. what kind of food. and under getting beer - do u mean where u can buy or a pub where to go?
Parent
▼
Pickelschwanz 28 Jul 2008, 12:33
I will eat anything, just nice places to eat and drink would be good. Well for example if you were going out for some nice food and then to party the night away where would you go?
Parent

infi_ 28 Jul 2008, 12:39
where the flow takes me :D nah, well The Old Town is probably the biggest touristmagnet - thats also where most of the restaurants/pubs are located. Also around The Old Town in the..wtf is the word..downtown - theres alot of pubs/shops/restaurants. Probably one of the nicest pubs u might look for are Nimeta Pubi, Hell Hunt, St. Patricks. How are u planing of coming here? plane or ship, or some other transportation?
Parent
▼
Pickelschwanz 28 Jul 2008, 13:02
Well they always hype up the prices in tourist places, so I want to go where the locals go! Im going to be flying over on Friday the 22nd and coming home on the monday. We have the days planned out but not the nights!
Parent
▼
infi_ 28 Jul 2008, 13:13
true dat' bout overhyped pubs. Well most casual places i visit are: Hell Hunt, Nimeta and Nimega Pub, St. Patricks, Molly Malone. There are alot more pubs and places we go but i wouldnt suggest you to go to those since they're these occasional places we go once in a while that happen to be full of russians :D. Food places..hmm....when im out with friends we either buy something to eat from the shops or we go for pizza/chinese&indian food. for chinese/indian the best ive liked so far is Kathmandu Hill. In the downtown theres the Shoping Center called Kaubamaja/Viru Keskus, thats the place where ppl like to hang out(for whatever reason i dont know :D ) There arent that many food/drink places tho. Hard Rock Cafe is a nice place. Perhaps Club Hollywood for the clubs if you wanna go. if ur coming by plane theres another shoping(ffs is it written with 2 p's? :D) center near the airport called Ülemiste kaubakeskus. Probably the place u dont wanna go to is the northend of Tallinn, it aint that bad but its known as the ''ghetto''? of Tallinn. Have u also planed where you're staying when u come here?
Parent
▼
Pickelschwanz 28 Jul 2008, 13:33
Thats Great! I will stay clear of the Ghetto's!! Hotel is booked, can't remember what its called but its a cheap place so we have more money for beer! Thanks for the info I can't wait to get out there!

infi_ 28 Jul 2008, 13:41
hmm, hopefully u didn't book a room in Hotel Shnelli. its ok if ur using it just to sleep. but i find it disturbing that its near trainstation. its nicely close to The Old Town.

Lessons in Estonian? XD
Parent

infi_ 28 Jul 2008, 14:01
haha :D i can teach you to write but the pronounciation is gonna be tough :P
Parent
▼
Pickelschwanz 28 Jul 2008, 14:16
Well things like please, thankyou and hello always seem to go down well
Parent
▼
infi_ 28 Jul 2008, 14:40
well actually you can get amazingly well around Tallinn with just english.

please - palun

thank you - aitäh (gl with this one :P)

hello - tere

bye - head aega
Parent
▼
Pickelschwanz 28 Jul 2008, 14:57
Yea but its a bit rude going to someones country and not even learning hello etc If you came to the UK I would expect the same as Im a laz englishman
Parent
▼
infi_ 28 Jul 2008, 15:01
agreed. well it depends how someone looks on it. i wouldn't mind if a foreign tourist speaks in english, if they'd speak something else(eg. italian) i'd dislike that. aslong as u know some simple words(as in hello/thank you) its nice. and would be quite impressive if someone who has never said a word in estonian would learn to pronounce words like that :)
Parent
▼
Pickelschwanz 28 Jul 2008, 15:08
Well where ever I go I always try and learn the basic words, I might even learn how to say can I have 10 beers please :P
Parent
▼
infi_ 28 Jul 2008, 15:11
hmm.. if u can pronounce these letters - Õ,Ü - the rest is easy :D

i suppose u can say: kümme õlut palun.
Parent
▼
Pickelschwanz 28 Jul 2008, 15:12
The only way I will learn to say these is the day before I go you come to my vent and say them to me lol
Parent
▼
infi_ 28 Jul 2008, 15:13
haha, record them and listen during the flight :D

Pickelschwanz 28 Jul 2008, 15:47
any useful tips for taxi's or public transport?

edit: Sorry to trouble you with all these questions lol
Parent
▼
infi_ 28 Jul 2008, 20:10
trouble? na, my day was so boring u helped me out :P + its fun ^^

well taxis here are pretty well known by taking alot more money than needed and public transport is pretty shit tbh, busses are ok, trams/trolleybusses are old :P there are few taxi firms that are bigger - i suppose those are better. i think its better in airport but if u come by ship there are so many fake taxis at the port. :P look for yellow mercedes - there should be written Tallink on the side - they might be the most trustworthy or then Tulika - white opel astras with this little yellow logo on the sides :P.

Pickelschwanz 28 Jul 2008, 20:41
Thats great oh and whats your currency? I have this rule for when I got away, what ever the taxi driver says half it. Also comfim how much it will be before you get in. Do the police carry Guns? Are they nice people?
Parent
▼
infi_ 28 Jul 2008, 22:15
currency is EEK, 1euro = 15,6EEK, 1pound = 19,7EEK. so its rather cheap. the getting in fee is like 35EEK. You dont see police moving around on the street on feet that much. mostly cars/bikes. They got guns but why should u be worried bout that? Few policemen are nice but some havent been layed for bout 3 years so they're quite grumpy :D
Parent
▼
Pickelschwanz 29 Jul 2008, 10:53
I don't want them to shoot me! Wow that is cheap! One beer in the uk costs £2.50-£3! I can't wait to go now!!! Whats your national drink?
Parent
▼
infi_ 29 Jul 2008, 10:56
^^ depends where and what type of beer u buy. average beer cost is between 12-15 EEK :) in pubs you can buy for 20/25
Parent
▼
Pickelschwanz 29 Jul 2008, 11:21
Thats still quite cheap! About time you added me as your buddy, I was going to add you at some point lol Whats the best beer?! I will drink anyhting but I always prefer to drink local beers when I go away!
Parent
▼
infi_ 29 Jul 2008, 11:45
uh. probably the most famous beers that have actually gone outside estonia are made by Saku(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saku_(beer)) and A le Coq(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._Le_Coq). i dno if ur into dark or light beer. id say Saku Kuld(both dark and light are nice) Presidendi Pilsner and Saku on Ice are drinkable. also most of the A le Coq ones. just depends of the shop i go or to whos party i go :D ppl got different tastes.

Pickelschwanz 29 Jul 2008, 12:26
I really like Dark beer so I will have a lot of that!! On the Friday when we arrive we are going to do go karting and on Saturday we are going paintballing.(We have not just come over to do those my mate is getting married in september!)
Parent

infi_ 29 Jul 2008, 13:04

Well on wikipedia it says
QuoteOn a separate occasion, following an accident involving Richard Hammond in September 2006, the Health & Safety Executive report into the event recorded that Collins had "worked closely with Top Gear as a high performance driver and consultant"[6] and had prepared a briefing for Richard Hammond preceding the event[6].

Currently BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only, but all BBC iPlayer Radio programmes are available to you. Why?

what use is it to restrict these things(bbc iplayer) to locals only?
▼
EaZy 28 Jul 2008, 17:07
Dunno m8, maybe its to do with the rip off license fee we have to pay every year to watch bbc programs here. Heres a link if you still havent seen it...

Yes m8, £139.50.per year on top of sky/cable just to watch bbc.

Skydeh 18 Jan 2009, 20:42
But we get ITV, 4 and 5 with that money.

Oh and 1.6% of our taxes goto the BBC aswell!!!
