Korterid ja Kvartiri, all while listening to Hungarian eskimo lounge..

Nii..
Üks kuu ja natukene rohkem.. one month and a bit. Looking around at places online is almost like following something to take a bet on, so many ups and downs and unknowns.. and then if I say 'fuck it' and place that bet and get there, me losing the bet means stabbing and raping. I would prefer the stabbing first, I sort of win that way.
With the price range I am looking at, it is really either way.. some places show such a fantastic scene that I have serious reservations about their willingness to offer it for that price. Some openly show a pile of shit. Most of the offerings just don't show pictures. It's like a really fantastic horror film, what you can't see psychologically messes with you. Faaantastic. So. Here are some of the places I am sending emails for.

This one is in Põhja-Tallinn, great location close to the main city, though around 89.4% of the apartments there are sketch. Much of the housing is wooden or stone, only a few scattered panel houses. I love it when they advertise a shower, bathroom, and WC.. then say that they are only connected to the 1-room (or 2-room at times.. makes me curious to what is so important for the second room that the architect didn't want to sacrifice it for a toilet) apartment. My proposal is 'meat freezer'. The buildings are really old (some pre-Soviet occupation), a few are renovated. Mmmm.. so.. bodies in the walls.

Just finished another one.

Nõmme is actually a really great area, there is a low dead body-resident ratio. It is a bit far from the centre however, so I would really have to get on top of renewing my ISIC for a year and thus landing cheaper, student metro passes. Also I enjoy the idea of being able to pull a shower curtain around myself on the toilet.. it is good planning to be ready for almost anything in Eesti.. All of the landlords (feudal masters.. few differences.. this is eastern Europe..) I have sent emails to have Russian names.. I am really only planning on paying half of any rent, and having the other half come from telling them I can speak vene (Russian) keel if it is easier, then seducing them (regardless), learning their ways, and then buying the ground from under their feet so the tables are turned. Should only take a few months of living in the snow.

Just to illustrate, here is Nõmme..
..and Põhja-TallinnEdasi..
