The estonians shoot a reasonable amount of bears every year

For this new year's eve I went to finland and estland to see some of my friends. It was a very nice and enjoyable trip although there is actually no snow and temperatures are also pretty high.

Helsinki turned out to be quite a little and calm city with a rather little city center. However, they offer an absolutely delicious salmon and you meet nice and open-minded people. Concerning the salmon, it makes really a difference whether you buy some farmed salmon in the European shops or whether you get it straight from the source.. Hum, Yummie

On new years eve, the fins showed their party side with fireworks all day and night long, salmon bbq, reindeer soup (reindeer is tasty) and some drinks.. well, mostly imported french wine. We had a wonderful party there. Thanks Johanna and Aude!

And that the fins like to drink, party and consume some drugs can also be seen in the bars.
First of all you are asked to leave your hidden bottles at the entrance and secondly the toiletts have blue lights. So if you want to shoot up some H, you just cannot, because you cant see your veins in the blue light.. Party on! :-)

Since Tallinn, the estonian capital, is just 1h 40 min away by cat ferry, we decided to hope over there.

Tallinn looks pretty much like a central European city with a nice and old city center and some russian or lets say better estonian influence. It used to belong to the hansa community, which was a union of many sea cities in the north and baltic sea in the late medieval time..
You can find plenty of fancy bars and restaurants, wellness spa centers and old medieval restaurants.

Especially the latter are pretty interesting as all the waiters and waitresses are dressed with old clothes, old music is played and one can watch a sword-fight within the restaurant while having dinner.
So of course we went there! and what do you eat in a medieval restaurant???
Well, there is bear on the menu.. and after asking the waiter about whether this is real bear or just a joke, he replies:
" We, the estonians, shoot a reasonable amount of bears every year!"
HÄ, what actually is a reasonable amount? 50, 100 ?? are there so many bears left?? Crazy people..
