Russian language of Tartu, the Russian signs, 80 rubles for a ticket to Tallinn, NATO troops marching on the roads of Estonia – has changed over the year? Parents in shock is back from Tartu a few days ago. What they saw there and what has changed in a year and a half in the country?

The first thing that caused a bit of a shock – it’s NATO troops that moved along the highway towards Tartu. From autumn 2013 to autumn 2014 mum and dad went there every three weeks and this was not observed.
The second thing that has caused confusion – on the border with Russia to build some kind of fence, as if from refugees that may come from our side (at least as explained by local).
The third fact in Tartu (very *Estonian* a city where tourists are scarce) there were signs in Russian. Appeared the Russian channels, which did not exist before. In the Tartu University Hospital has become even more English speaking staff.
Yes, there is – just look at a newspaper from the local market, everything speaks for itself.
The fourth is always interested in tourists in the first place – food prices remained the same pleasant.
Only now it seems that alcohol due to the increase rate was more expensive than it was.
Fifth, the fact that shook parents to the core (I sent them to the survey in Estonia with a mandate to save within reasonable limits, because the mortgage pressure not a child) – from Tallinn to Tartu can now be reached by double-Decker bus with Wi-Fi and a toilet just for 1 Euro! For comparison, a ticket on a bus other firms costs about 12 euros.
In General, I am to this company Superbus looked more closely, not understanding, what a joke, but really you can buy a ticket for 1 Euro. Here, for example, from Tallinn to Narva – also 1 Euro (Yes, for the booking will have to pay 1 Euro but it’s for all the tickets; if you take immediately 4-5-6 – it is still 1 Euro for the reservation).
But it does not suit me, I’m upset… no Pets allowed.
By the way, her parents suggested Viive – mistress of the mini-hotel, where they stop every time. During this time they became real friends:) I’ve Vieve on behalf of the parents and send postcards, and greetings with different dates. To anyone coming to Tartu, highly recommended – and the prices are nice, and the hosts are very welcoming, take the guests as their relatives. I too have been in this hotel for one day – now they are waiting for us together with Marcel Markovic.
PS: I’m sad that for the sake of the cat we went to Estonia, I missed this hospitable country.
