World superlative?
Today i'm not going to talk too much, just briefly about two things. Firstly, i went to the notorious KuMu yesterday and liked it a lot. Not very many people were there (surprise-surprise!) and it was all quite enjoyable. I hadn't seen most of the pieces before (only from books) because they used to store them, there was no place to display.But of course there was one typical little example of KuMu culture, hehe. It happened 15 minutes before closing time, 17:45. They announced that it was time to leave... no, i can't say 'announced'. It sounded like thunder coming from the speakers. Everybody around me jumped a bit and i think i screamed a little. Nerves...
It did work wonders though, everybody left in a hurry. Me too, because i really believe after this nice little "warning" the next thing you see will be two big security guards that drag you down the stairs and throw you out of the door. So you'd better obey.
Ok, the other thing - i was reading the official Visit Estonia homepage and found a description that sounded so familiar and funny:
"Estonia - a world superlative!
Discover Estonia and you will see it is phenomenal. Like Alice in her Wonderland (rings any bells?), you will find there is even more to see in Estonia than you have dreamed about. The dream world becomes real and the reality is unbelievable."
Mmmmmm. Well, what can i say. Yeah, the reality is sometimes quite unbelievable but i'm not sure if it's a good thing. So long.

This made me laugh - I could just picture you all being thrown 'en masse' out the door and your bags, things, being thrown out after you all and then the great big doors slamming shut. (Why do these places never test out their P.A. systems before deafening folks with messages no one can understand?)
P.S. We won't forget you on your B/Day!
I also live here in the "magic" Wonerland of Estonia. It is like a dream but I dont know if it is a good or bad one. As you can see right now I have major issues against the Estonia and systems that keep this country running.

hey, at least the dreamland creates some weird humor, and this is definitely a good thing :p
Hey there,
Have a wonderful day in your interesting little wonderland... preferably without any incidences of deafening speakers or other KuMu catastrophies... I'm starting to get quite intrigued by that whole KuMu thing!
Hey, I just quickly wanted to let you know that I have linked your blog to mine, hope that's ok?
Lotsa love, Bettina
of course Bettina dear :)
*hugs*
So what exactly is "KuMu"?
So is Estonia, anything like Texas?
KuMu is an abbreviation of the words Kunst (art) + Muuseum and it's our new incredibly expensive museum complex. That has wonderland label all over :)
Is Estonia anything like Texas? I have never been to Texas but i really really doubt that :)
