I’ve been playing around with my blog a lot today. The whole front page is new, yet far from being finished. There are now visible and distinguishable links to the English section. The section is still in mixed language, but I will try to make it a bit more English, so you won’t learn more Estonian words in the future. Well, if you want to learn, you can always ask me, right?

But that’s not what I was to talk about. As I’ve been writing a lot lately and sitting behind the glowing screen even more, my eyes are pretty tired and I’ll just make it short.

It is and it is not good here. The bad side is that this place is no exception in today’s world and even though the unemployment rate should still be the lowest in Europe, there’s unsteadiness in the air and not much work to get (if not to say, no work at all). In this three weeks time I’ve been here I have asked in quite a few places. In fishing factories they happily collect my contacts and say that I may ask again after some time, but nobody needs a helping hand right away. And with other institutions it’s quite hopeless. So right now I’m trying to figure myself out a limit how long I’m going to stay here without work and after that I’d probably head for Denmark, hoping that there would be at least something there. (If you have better ideas, let me know.)

The good side is the majority of everything else. Although the weather shows signs of upcoming autumn, all the other positive things I named as my first impressions have not disappointed me. Moreover I’ve done a bit more hiking in the empty and calm landscape and socialized with people in some extent. It is relaxing here even when the other half of your mind is busy worrying about the job. I’m getting more and more sure that mentally this is right now the place for me and it’s exactly what I needed in this state of my life. It’s not that much for thinking anything through or pushing myself to challenging situations, it’s rather for sensing more in my own pace and undisturbedly, whether doing familiar things and creating myself a familiar atmosphere or not. I’m all alone clearing up my mind and this is the best place for such thing. That’s why I’m trying to stay as hard as possible.

If you don’t believe me, look at the pictures: pildid.hannes.ee
Soon I’ll make a new photo site with better navigation and fancier interface. The newest photo albums will probably be found on my blog’s front page too.

Next time I’ll write more. I hope.
