Yes, I love art and I'm very creative...I paint and draw a lot of pictures and I love to photograph.
I think here in Germany you can live very well. Here you can find a lot of great and big cities and on the other side you have a lot of agriculture, farms and wide meadows, we have a great education system and good jobs. I love my live here but sometimes I wish to see more than Germany.

Tere (Hello in Estonian) Paul, Sam and little Arwen :)
Well I have to confess I do believe in God, but at the same time I am interested in different religions as well. In my opinion it does not matter what you call whatever you believe but it’s more important how you believe it. I have had the chance to really piss of some very religious people with my views as well. For instance I very much like some principles about life that are from Buddhism. A so called true Christian denies everything else but his own God and how to serve him. I think the name you call the higher power is different only because the culture around it has developed differently and all religions are very much affected by the social situations and historical background they were born in.
Unlike the “normal” Christian I believe that the soul is immortal and is born again and again into this world. The reason I believe that is when you look around you see that some people are satisfied with the basic things in life ie food, sex, pleasure, while others need food for their intelligence and soul as well. People around us are like kids with different ages hence for me that means our souls are not the same age with everyone. You probably have noticed that there are people who you feel are inferior (though actually no one is above or below others, just the level of that person is different) and people who seem to be superior. Well enough of this or I will end up writing a thick novel.
Sam, if you want to see some good markets then yes Prague is a place to visit. It has a lovely old town and the people there are really nice. Mostly you can manage with English because nowadays most tourist attraction places have at least basic English level. Also Hungary is a great place to visit. Budapest is a lovely town as well. And the people there are usually very friendly. For shopping Poland is also a nice place but even though the prices of clothes etc. are pretty low some places still are quite depres

My concepts about religion have formed throughout time and they differ quite a lot from the mainstream. I have had friends who were into being pagans, wearing goth clothes etc. I guess I personally am against learning casting spells and things like that because I prefer to be cautious with things that I clearly do not know entirely. And anyway every good and bad does come back to haunt you some point.
It's nice if you are able to dress yourself according to how you want. I guess I had a half-goth period in high school as well.
I have been a little bit around Europe myself. What kind of experience do you and Sam want? I mean what would you for sure want to experience in your journey, do you want to see one country or two? How would you want to travel etc. There are quite few places that are not overly expensive but worth the trip.
It is hard living in a small town without any proper ways to just relax. And with a young baby girl you need to have some time to do that as well. A friend of mine had her baby girl two years back so I know a little bit about what raising a kid really means.
I hope you manage to relocate yourself quickly to a better place. Do you know where you want to move already?
We actually here had some snow last winter, but it didn't stay properly. Usually a normal winter here means 3-4 "white"​ months. Not 2 weeks, then it melts, snows again and melts again. That means most of the time it's wet, muddy and you have to have fisherman's boots to survive.
Well take care you three :)

Well there are enough problems here with the Russians, but then again every country has similar problems with different nationalities.
First off I suggest you make it clear what do you consider to be pagan. I think this concept is clearly misunderstood. So called pagans are people who are earth religion believers. This means they believe in living things and that the nature around us is alive. You can find something similar among old Greeks. They called the earth Gaia as a symbol of personification of nature.
Tallinn is quite small compared to most cities in England. It's the largest here and has only about 400 000 residents. We have one of the oldest old towns in Europe and it's quite nice here if you know where to go.
We do have a lot of different culture festivities here to bring back the authentic scenery of ancient times. This summer for example there was mytofest http://mytofest.ee/2008_eng/index.php
This basically brought back the life from about 9-13th century in these areas. The people behind it try to use things as authentic as possible basing on historical findings.
I do live near the sea and near a river as well. The climate here is quite crappy actually. Last winter we didn't even have decent snow. In England the spring starts about 2-3 month earlier as much as I know. I have been there only once so..
Right, enjoy your evening :)

Hey Paul,
Maybe the reason we think the grass is greener on the other side is that we create an illusion about that place or person. I have done that quite many times myself to be honest. I think when we are seeing many disturbing things around us we simply want to believe there is a better place, that this is not as good as it gets. I actually am not into Germany very much. Of course I have been there only twice on short trips and I do know they have many marvelous castles (like the Neuschwanstein for example) there, but the people and the culture does not seem very attractive to me.
I’m sad to hear you had to experience such a relationship. It’s always pretty complicated to get to know someone and you never really see what they are until you meet them.
Well Estonia and the Baltic states in general are rather small and due to our complicated relationships with Russia (this has a long historic background as well) the few times we have reached international media have been with a very negative tone.
I do know England has serious problems with Muslims and poles there. I think that the main reason Muslims are a problem all over Europe is that they lack respect for other cultures. It is my personal opinion that instead of only demanding respect and rights they should first respect the culture they themselves enter. If I’d move to England I wouldn’t dare to expect everyone starting to learn Estonian if I didn’t know English.. It would go the other way round.
One thing that is bad in Estonia is a similar cultural conflict. You have the polish and Muslims. We have Russians. The basic idea is the same- they demand, do nothing (of course there are exceptions) and there are many conflicts due to most Estonians disliking them. Some Russians seem to forget we are independent and do not belong under the rule of Russi
