It was a few weeks after our Cyprus project when Heleri told me that Stelios is coming to Tallinn. It is a rare moment, because usually people don't find their way to Estonia. So, via Instagram story I followed his trip closer and closer to Tallinn. And on 25 of October he arrived. I had university lecture in the morning and after that I met with my friends from Bulgarian EVS project with Heleri as well. But on my way to meet with Anna and Mustafa I saw a guy who really looked like Stelios. I wasn't sure and it all happened so fast that I didn't have a time to react. His face expression reflected coldness and tiredness. So, I wrote to him and yep, it was Stelios who I saw. Anyway, after few hours spent with other guests and few hours studied for my exam. I met again with Heleri and Stelios. It was dark already but we still took a city walk. Main buildings were lighted so actually everything was beautiful. We visited some sight platforms but because it was super windy we decided to go inside a room. It was kind of too early for the bars, so, we visited a shop bought some stuff and went to my university while we were in old town anyway. After few minutes walk we were there in warm environment. Heleri and Stelios were facinated by my university chilling room. An old iMac made a real buzz. Heleri turned it on with her static electricity and we were a little bit concerned about the situaton, but after few minutes computer went to sleep mode again. Stelios had an opportunity to taste gingerbreads, yes Chistmas season has already started in Estonia. Actually, the most important thing was that Saku drinks were represented. We listened to music, chit-chatted until Laura arrived back from her lecture. She didn't find the right place at the first place, but somehow she still managed at the end. When I waited outside for Laura it was snowing. Grazy stuff but it was Stelios secret dream to see snow here. After making my uni more Cypriot (Stelios wrote to the blackboard "Cyprus loves you Agros") we left the house. Actually I also bought a piece of Cyprus to this room after my trip. I put a cruciform figure magnet on the fridge. Anyway, then we went to Hell Hunt to eat something and talk more. Because it was snowing the topic was snow in Cyprus. Yes, it is snowing in Cyprus as well time to time. Because Laura moved to Tallinn and we hadn't met after the trip we had a lot to discuss about. Heleri's and Laura's conversation went pretty passionate at some point, and yeah they talked in Estonian, so, Stelios was pretty confused. I have been in the same situation in Spain, but it is a good language lessen tho 😄 When we went outside again there wad already a lot of snow. So, we definately had a fun in the snow throwing snowballs and screaming like children in the old town. Only Heleri wasn't so excited, she hates snow. Me too in general but first snow is enjoyable. Me and Laura went to a bus to drive home. Heleri and Stelios continued their pub crawl, actually I guess they visited only one bar. One thing that seemed odd to Stelios was Estonians habit to pay only with a card on the shop. On Thursday I met with Stelios and Heleri right before their leaving. I recommended an eating place for them and also went there. They had walked a lot in the city with that weird weather during the day. I accompanied them to the bus/tram stops and said goodbye. Heleri had to take a car ride back home and Stelios had to reach the bus station to go to Lithuania. It was nice to have a guest from other country visiting us here in Estonia. Maybe the season wasn't the best but at least Stelios got an overview of life in Estonia and a lot of cool memories. Hope to meet you again 😊
