The spring spirit

Y

ou might say spring is in the air, but not because of the weather, because of the upcoming events this month. In summer, it seems there is always some kind of festival or event going on. The upcoming month is just a sign that there are longer days and warmer months ahead.

March has two big events: Tallinn Music Week and Tallinn Fashion Week. If you’re in town for Tallinn Music Week, turn to our nightlife page (16-17) for your exclusive guide to a great festival experience, starting from where to eat and ending with where to party, with a lot of great music in between.

Tallinn Fashion Week takes place twice a year, once

in spring to showcase new collections and second in autumn to hand out the Golden Needle award.

In addition to all that, if you’ve never visited Tartu, hop on a train or bus and get down there right now. With the opening of the new Estonian National Museum and the quickly developing Aparaaditehas quarter, there’s plenty to see and do and eat!

And speaking of eating, while it may not be beach weather quite yet, that’s no excuse not to head down to Pärnu for their Restaurant Week, to taste some great food.

Happy travels!

MARCH RESTAURANT NEWS As the weather starts warming up,

we’ll start to see more and more new places opening up. In the meantime, here are some new and old favourites to check out.

The popular food truck Linnutee Puhvet opened a warmer indoor location in the Old Town (Suur-Karja 11, Tallinn Old Town i2), where they will be serving their delicious grilled burgers, among other things.

Previously Uus Kuus, the new Taanilinna restaurant and wine cellar (Uus 6, Tallinn Old Town g3) is serving up classic bistro comfort food in a cosy atmosphere.

Stop in and enjoy a refreshing sal-

mon tartar with avocado cream or some warming pasta and risotto, all for very friendly prices.

Another favourite Tallinn burger joint, Uulits Tänavagurmee has just opened a new location in Kalamaja (Soo 1B/, Tallinn a1). If you’ve never tried their burgers before, you can expect a juicy larger-than-life burger with fresh homemade toppings.

While the Green Bakery (Maakri 19, Tallinn b2) has been open for a while now, we thought we’d mention it again for anyone looking for a vegan, lactose and gluten-free alternative.

This cosy little café serves up

more than just baked goods.

Enjoy burgers, wraps and pizza too.

Designed with a 1920s feel in mind, Kohvik Koloniaal (Tööstuse 1, Tallinn a1) has become a local favourite for great coffee and some wonderful baked goods as well. A lovely cosy place to cheer up on a dreary day.

And last but not least, the popular theatre bistro No99 (Sakala 3, Tallinn b2) has started serving brunch on Saturdays. Since last autumn, you have been able to enjoy a buffet brunch from 12.0015.00 every Saturday. 15, 6 for children 7-14. ■

Food prepared right before your eyes at Wok to Walk.

Taste of Asia of TOA's inviting interior.

Tallinn’s favourite Asian restaurants sine. Some of our favourites include the huge crispy spring rolls, crispy Lai-style vegetables (careful, these are hot), and the chicken curry. Prices are reasonable and you can dine in as well as take away from their central location.

TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

To help you on your quest to find exotic flavours, especially when you’ve had your fill of meat and potatoes, we’ve put together a list (in no particular order) of some of Tallinn’s favourite Asian restaurants, as recommended by locals.

Gotsu Dao Hua

Pärnu mnt 62a, Tallinn g1

Mardi 1, Tallinn b3

Gotsu is the best place for Korean food in Tallinn, hands down. It’s a reasonable distance out of the Old Town, but worth the walk, or short tram ride. Try some of the house made ice tea, kimchi (you can also buy some to take along), and the fried chicken with chilli, among many other great dishes.

We have been told about this restaurant for a number of years and finally went to try it for ourselves at the end of last year. A large banquet lunch was taking place in the other room, so service was a little slow, but when the food did arrive, it was worth the wait!

The prices are on the steeper side, but this is the kind of place where you want to go with a few friends and share your dishes.

You can even pre order crispy duck with pancakes.

the beautifully plated fried squid and the pork ribs. Portions are on the smaller side, but you can get away with sharing a few dishes.

Wok to Walk Vana-Viru 14, Tallinn Old Town h3

The international chain Wok to Walk has over 70 restaurants worldwide. Food is prepared right before your eyes, over an open flame in a wok. Raw ingredients are always fresh and local.

Food is prepared within 15 minutes and you can enjoy it in the restaurant or as takeaway. It’s great value for money, portions are big and completely customizable.

TOA - Taste of Asia Rotermanni 2, Tallinn a2

Chedi Sulevimägi 1, Tallinn Old Town f3

If you’re in the mood to splurge for something a little fancier, Chedi is the place to come. The modern interior welcomes guests into an exotic and intimate setting for a meal to remember. Try

China Inn Viru 9, Tallinn Old Town h2

TOA or Taste of Asia opened earlier this year in Tallinn’s Rotermann Quarter. This new Asian restaurant has been taking Estonian palates by storm with bold, fresh flavours. In addition to great food, they also have a fabulous cocktail list. ■

China Inn has been around for a number of years. Located in the cellar on the main street of Viru in the Old Town, it’s the place to come if you want to get your fix of lemon chicken, sweet and sour pork, and other such guilty pleasures. Prices are reasonable and portions are large.

Grilled steak, just how you like it Restoran Oliver may have moved to a new address, but everything else is still the same. a BBQ sirloin and grilled liver, which both came served with grilled vegetables.

The appetisers were tasty. The sirloin and the liver were cooked to our liking at medium and the sides had an equally pleasing smoky flavour. The wild mushroom sauce went very well with the steak and an herbed butter complemented the liver. They know their meat at Oliver. ■

Oliver was located for some time on

the bustling main street of Viru, but recently moved to a new, quieter location on Rataskaevu, just a stone’s throw from Town Hall Square. You’ll find Oliver by it’s smiling mascot, inviting you inside to try the steak. As you walk down the stairs you’ll see the bar and to your left, a 100seat restaurant. The cellar room is well lit, with a cosy atmosphere.

Oliver’s menu has stood the test of time, which means that appetisers and desserts are prepared in a traditional European-Estonian style and the main courses are unique with raw ingredients that are careful-

help you select something to your taste.

PM20’s menu is just as extensive, with a selection of appetisers and mains inspired by international cuisine, with everything from ribs to pasta to curry. What intrigues us are the platters, especially the ‘Palju Maitsed’ or Many Flavours platter, which offers a little bit of everything - meat, cheese and veg. When the platter arrives,

there is a lot more than we were expecting, almost so much that you don’t need a main. The platter was followed by the goat’s cheese salad, which was just enough. The mains that pass by the table look tempting as well, though they will have to be tried next time.

Just like the menu, PM20 offers a little bit of everything with the feel of a wine bar, but the menu of a restaurant. Best of all, they stay open late at weekends. ■

The first round of Affinity targets specific areas line by line.

Affinity Anti-Ageing Therapy uses a one-time applicator to send a low level of acid solution through the skin to stimulate regeneration.

Fountain of Youth Modern anti-ageing treatments work both preventatively and repairitavely. vipMedicum will help you find what’s right for you.

TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

Everyone wants to look and feel

younger. Anti-ageing treatments are just as popular among men as they are with women. Ilkka, our marketing manager at The Baltic Guide met with Julia Kudrjavtseva, the managing laser and injections specialist at vipMedicum who suggested two courses of action based on Ilkka’s wishes to reduce lines, wrinkles and sagging in the cheeks. First, a full course of Affinity treatment followed by Aptos threads is what was recommended. Before and after photos were taken and the effects of the combined treatment is noticeable even after a few weeks.

Affinity Anti-Ageing Therapy Affinity Anti-Ageing Therapy uses a one-time applicator to send a low level of acid solution (30 glycolic acid, 10 lactic acid) through the skin to stimulate regeneration. A full course of treatments can be from three to five visits with about two weeks between treatments. After one month skin is noticeably firmer.

The treatment works with the Affinité machine where an electrode is placed on the shoulder and then a pulse is sent through the area being treated. The entire procedure takes about an hour as the skin is treated twice. The first round targets specific areas line by line and the second round has more of a vacuum feel and

is applied more randomly. After the treatment a soothing mask is applied and by the next day redness is gone and makeup can be applied again. It’s a treatment that is not only good for reducing the signs of ageing, but can be used to treat couperose, scars left by acne, and more. It can be used on the face, neck, and chest as well. The procedure is relatively pain-free.

Aptos Threads Affinity was followed by the application of Aptos threads a few weeks later. Aptos are a minimally invasive face and body rejuvenation procedure that helps improve soft tissue contours, slows down the aging process, and is nonsurgical, meaning there will be no scars.

Aptos are bioabsorbable threads that are placed under the skin to lift different parts of the face or body. A local anesthetic is applied to the area being treated, so pain is reduced, but the

Aptos Threads are a good alternative to cosmetic surgery, with recovery time being quite short.

insertion of the threads can still be felt. After the 360 days, the threads are completely excreted.

They contain L-lactic acid that adds to the rejuvenating effect and prolongs the absorption period.

The threads have little barbs on them that help hold them in place.

They can be used all over the body, to lift breasts for example.

Some types of threads can be used to improve your complexion, or to fix a part of the face after a stroke or accident. What’s great about these threads is that they are a good alternative to cosmetic sur-

gery, with recovery time being quite short.

With Aptos, you will get excellent results without surgery, which you can see as soon as after the procedure and will continue to improve over the following 2-3 weeks. The results last for varying periods of time, depending on the material and the type of thread used. The best results come when they are applied with classical aesthetic operations and almost all cosmetology and therapeutical procedures (pilings, fillers, Botox injections). You don’t have to wait to try this procedure, you can start at 30 and use it as a preventative measure against the signs of aging.

Of course, as you age, it’s a great alternative to plastic surgery.

Since 1996, Aptos has produced unique materials for aesthetic surgery and cosmetology.

Their methods have gained world recognition and are now used by specialists in 48 countries around the world. Aptos’ patented products and methods have been awarded international awards. vipMedicum clinic offers a full range of cosmetic procedures for all types of problems. Their specialists are there to answer any questions or concerns you might have.

Aparaaditehas is Tartu’s own creative centre TEXT SILJA HURSKAINEN, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

When you've finished wandering through

the shops at Telliskivi in Tallinn, why not head down to Tartu's Aparaaditehas Quarter?

The City of Tartu’s marketing manager Helen Kalberg told us that there are different shops, lots of restaurants, as well as a print and paper museum where you can make your own paper and try out a printer that is 150 years old. At the end of August we can look forward to the quarter’s own festival. Just like in Tallinn’s Telliskivi area, Aparaaditehas is growing and developing quickly.

When you visit Tartu, Aparaaditehas is some distance from the city centre, it’s about 3.5 km from the Town Hall Square, but you can get there with public transport.

For those interested in the area’s history, you can sign up for guided tours about the quarter’s history and buildings. ■

Located at the top floor of the shopping centre, V Spa offers a beautiful view over the city of Tartu. There are many relaxing pools, as well as 11 different saunas to choose from. In addition to the hotel and spa, V Spa Hotel and Conference Centre also has 79 rooms and many places to hold conferences.

11 TARTU

A mix of old and new TEXT SILJA HURSKAINEN, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

As the second largest city in Estonia, Tartu

is not the capital, but a university city which holds itself as a strong centre in the country. The vibrant southern-Estonian hub attracts academics and inspiring young people.

Tartu’s main attraction became the Estonian National Museum when it opened its doors in October 2016. Located a few kilometres from the city centre, the museum introduces Estonia, its culture as well as Finno-Ugric history in an interesting way.

The Ahhaa science centre, located in the

city centre, is already well-known to many visitors, though the exhibitions are always changing. For those travelling with children, Ahhaa is a great place to visit for both young and old. Until the end of May 2017, a fascinating filmmaking exhibition is on display.

The Estonian Museum of Agriculture is located in the neighbouring town of Ülenurme where you will some more great exhibitions. Located inside the Ülenurme Manor buildings, the museum offers a glimpse at the manor grounds in their heyday. The 15 museum buildings have different displays about agriculture and its machinery.

Sports fans can visit the Estonian Sports

Museum in Tartu. Couch potatoes can admire the awards won by Estonian Olympic medalists. Shoppers can enjoy the new shopping centre Kvartal. In fact, Tartu’s largest shopping centres are all located in the same area. Lõunakeskus is currently undergoing renovations, but is still open to shoppers.

The new part will be completed in spring, where there will be a cinema and hotel. ■

01 ESTONIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM The stunning new Estonian National Museum opened its doors in autumn 2016. The building itself is impressive, as are the great new exhibitions. This is a must during your Tartu visit.

02 TOWN HALL The heart of Tartu can be found at the Town Hall Square. The Kissing Students fountain sits in front of the Town Hall. In summer, cafés open terraces and in winter the square is filled with trees. Enjoy many events taking place here throughout the year as well.

03 MAIN BUILDING OF THE UNIVERSITY Built at the beginning of the 1800s, the Tartu University's Main Building is one of the city’s most important landmarks. Take a step inside and familiarise yourself with the museum or visit the attic where you’ll find the cell where misbehaving students were sent.

04 BOTANIC GARDENS Walking through the gates of the Botanic Gardens takes you to a whole new world.

Take some sandwiches along, find a bench to sit on, and enjoy the peonies in early summer or the autumn colours. Stroll the meandering paths or enjoy the serenity while being in the centre of the city.

Distance and Travel ■ Tartu-Tallinn about 185 km Train and bus connections are available between both cities. Close to ten trains leave daily. The faster train lasts about two hours. The bus takes about 2.5 hours.

There are tens of buses leaving daily.

05 GRAFFITI Tartu would not be Tartu without its street art. If graffiti is painted over in other places, then Tartu has made it its own. The small and large covered walls bring colour and art to the city.

The 30 year-old singer has grown up with music.

Concert performance ”Once, I Will Truly Give Myself Away” The concert performance ”Once,

I Will Truly Give Myself Away” (”Kord annan end päriselt ära”) is a choral music production born out of collaboration of composer Rasmus Puur and director Priit Võigemast. It is staged in the acoustically renowned Cauldron Hall of Kultuurikatel, where a choir of 80 will perform under the direction of Hirvo Surva and Ingrid Roose. It is a musical contemplation about the young men and young women of today, as well as their thoughts and feelings. What are their genuine joys and sorrows,

desires and secrets, similarities and differences...? ”A person’s worldview and values change over time and so in a few years, I could no longer create a work entirely centered on young people. Similarly, all the singers on stage are young at precisely this moment, so this has to be done now. Because it is important to us, because this is our life at this very moment,” says composer Rasmus Puur. ■ Premiere on 1 March Performances: 2–5 March Cauldron Hall at Kultuurikatel, Tallinn

Kadri Voorand – Daring to Dream TEXT STUART GARLICK, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

Kadri Voorand, it is no exaggera-

tion, has grown up with music.

However the 30 year-old singer and multi-instrumentalist has never liked to rest on her laurels.

It's ironic, then, that we met at the Estonian Music Awards, the annual celebration of achievement that saw Voorand later join with acapella group Estonian Voices to celebrate the life of punk legend Villu Tamme, in typically explosive fashion.

Voorand was also honoured at the ceremony for her album Armupurjus, taking home Best Jazz Album and Best Female Artist. The album was released with the Kadri Voorand Quartet in 2016, breaking out of any lazy genre classification to bring jazz into a collision with rock and electronic influences. The album, which is about as far as anyone can get from trad-jazz balladeering, nonetheless got a great reception from the public inside and outside Estonia. ”I'm very happy that even though it's eclectic - I wouldn't call it a jazz album, it has ambient vibes, it has hard rock influences - some sounds have been reaching a young audience and some an older audience, and it's coming together very well. I don't want to decide any more what genre it is - I think that time is over. Critics still accuse me of trying to put myself into too many boxes at once, but I don't want to be in any box. I'm just doing what I want.”

we all started out, and we know each other's language so well sometimes we create new songs on stage, and the audience might not be aware. We just try to have fun, and it doesn't matter to us what style it is. The jazz part is the freedom to improvise with the materials we have, but we can do whatever we want, and we're really in love with it.”

It's all part of an ever-shifting musical career for the restless Voorand, who has several projects and loves to experiment with her voice and a variety of instruments. ”I never do anything just to get it done. My moods change. My focus is mostly on Estonian Voices and the Quartet. But I wouldn't want to live without the classical side, for example the Avarus Ensemble, which is more towards modern classical music, so the complete opposite of some of the things I placed on my CD. So I like to travel between these different galaxies.”

It all comes from childhood. Sha-

king her head when asked if her parents' record collection was a major influence, Voorand instead pointed to a more traditional way of learning music. ”Growing up, all my summers, I spent outside with my mother's folk group.

Those parties were a part of my life. Different families would come together from around Lahemaa, grannies, grandpas, mothers, fathers, to dance, sing, play different instruments. I didn't understand as a young girl that I was performing. I just thought, 'oh, great, the party's today!' This was the same whether it was family and friends, or visiting politicians, who were there. We were their representative folk group.” ”I think I started going to those performances when I was born, because my mother was not the sort to stay at home. As I grew up, I played classical piano for twelve years, then for several years I didn't play at all - I've just taken it up again. I also studied violin. I was really lucky, and this is something I've discovered, because this sort of tradition wasn't happening in every family - I thought everybody did it!”

This upbringing has made the performance of music, and the creation of new songs, feel totally natural to the adult musician. ”Of course I'm always looking to learn new technical things, but for me, music is a drug, and it's therapy - I sometimes feel I'm living a parallel life in music. I like to take a trip into this world, and dream about

The title might raise some questions from non-Estonian-spea-

kers, so Voorand explained it. ”It's Drunk from Love, but in English it sounds kind of soft, the word was originally dreamt up by an Estonian poet, Andres Ehin, and it's kind of a rebellious word. It's not soft, it's kind of punk. It's also about bringing different topics to the table - for example, being 'drunk' with what's going on in the world, with finances, and markets going up and down, and maybe trying not to assume the most likely thing will happen.” ”Not only me but the band, we let our lines fly wherever we wanted to. I was a teenager when

Kadri Voorand won Best Female Artist and Best Jazz Album at the 2017 EMAs.

things I never otherwise would.

You can imagine yourself in this world so clearly, and it's so comforting. When you get tired of all this crap that's going on around you, you can dive into this world, and it's real, and it's all around you.”

She elaborated when asked if she is a perfectionist, explaining that the feeling of what could be possible is as important as the knowledge of what has already been done. ”I think you have to be prepared as well as you can to present emotional information - if you're trapped with technicalities, you can't get that across. I think when I started off composing, I composed things I knew how to compose, putting harmonies in that I knew, for example. That can continue for your whole life - you know how to compose for those instruments, and you just do it.

So it's very necessary to know how to do it. But you know how sometimes, you can hear your own voice in your head? Well it's important to listen to what you hear in your head, and not just start writing what you're capable of making.”

Tallinn Music Week is approaching

in March, and Voorand is one of the star performers in the showcase festival. ”I'm coming out with

a new duo, with the double-bass player Mihkel Mälgand - we're doing our first performance at Tallinn Music Week. It's new music, but it's closer to what I'm doing with Kadri Voorand Quartet; I think some ideas have grown out of there. I think I'd like to take a few steps back in noise level, and see how we can combine our technical capabilities in this music and see what we can bring to this music.

It's piano, bass and voice - and sometimes just bass and voice.”

The rest of the year is packed with concerts. ”We're touring China with Estonian voices, and there are lots and lots of other performances through the year, and then in November Taavo Remmel and I are going to do a special project with the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, and we're going to write music especially for them. It's one of the things I'm looking forward to that's new this year.” ■ Kadri Voorand & Mihkel Mälgand will be performing for Tallinn Music Week at Vaba Lava on March 31, details and link to ticket sales from tmw.ee. Armupurjus by the Kadri Voorand Quartet is available now.

skin on your face can be in a terrible state. Small wrinkles are more visible, the skin is dry, and may even be suffering from a breakout.

March is the best time to start with a spring facial treatment. A chemical peel is a good start. It’s great for both young and old, and will give your tired winter skin the freshening up it needs without needles.

not done with a machine, but by a cosmetologist. The peeling begins with a careful cleansing of the skin, which is followed by many other steps.

After the peeling, you should avoid the sauna and the spa for three days. At the same time, don’t just sit at home either. A chemical peel doesn’t break the skin so you can wear makeup right away.

A chemical peel is also important before an aesthetic beauty procedure. For example, for different fillers the skin must be properly cleaned beforehand.

Depending on the state of your skin, the procedure lasts anywhere from 1-1.5 hours. If it’s your first time and skin is quite flawed, it’s worth doing a longer peel. Most important is the aftercare at home: facial cleansing, moisturising, and proper nourishment.

Baltika Kvartal – A small town near the city centre TEXT SILJA HURSKAINEN, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

Be sure to stop through Baltika Kvartal on your next visit to Tal-

linn. The refurbished warehouse district is a stone’s throw from the city centre and offers some of the area's best shopping.

Airi Rosenberg, sales manager at Kawen real estate (the owners of the quarter) says that there are about 1000 people that work in the area. The quarter could even be deemed an IT centre, as there are many top IT firms with offices in the area, like Transferwise and Twilio.

There is more than just clothes shopping at Baltika Kvartal.

The quarter has developed into a creative centre.

The core of the quarter was built in

the 1960s and after that became a stylishly restored sewing factory.

There you’ll find Baltika’s major sales point ”Moetänav” (Fashionstree). Baltika has five different brands, of which Ivo Nikkolo is the best known. Baltika’s communications manager Lilian Nõlvak tells us that Moetänav is a destination shop. People come here for the brand and have been doing so for years.

In addition to Ivo Nokkolo, you’ll also find the men’s brand Baltman, as well as Monton, Mosaic, and Bastion at Moetänav.

You’ll also find an outlet store, where you can find items from each of the brands at a discount.

Stop in for lunch at Fork.

Baltika quarter has also developed into a creative centre.

The Estonian furniture manufacturer Oot-Oot has a stylish showroom. The company, owned by Marko Ala and Joonas Tormin makes furniture inspired by the 1950s and 60s. ”While we are inspired by style, we are inspired first and foremost by durability”, they say. An armchair can last many years, explains Ala about Oot-Oot ideology. Oot-Oot

furniture is designed and made in Estonia.

Once you’ve finished your shopping, you don’t have to look far for somewhere to eat. Fork is located in the inner courtyard of the quarter. ■

Oot-Oot specialises in furniture inspired by the 1950s and 60s.

TEXT STUART GARLICK, PHOTOS TALLINN MUSIC WEEK

T

here's a reasonable possibility that if you're in Tallinn in March, you're here for Tallinn Music Week, which is in this writer's opinion the coolest and most exciting event of the year in Estonia. It's never about partying hard - it's a marathon, not a sprint.

With the festival taking place, as the name suggests, over a whole week, you've got to treat this music and culture showcase like an athlete treats the Olympics. That means knowing where to go to watch bands, where to find liquid refreshment, and where to chow down at the end of the night before loping back to your hotel. The struggle is real for the TMW rookie who doesn't plan his route and his entertainment properly before setting off. What a good thing the Baltic Guide is here to help you.

We begin, perversely, not in a cavernous gig venue with a toilet bigger than your house and a bar queue longer than the Human Centipede, but in a tiny box venue, accurately known as Burger Box (Kopli 4). This little eatery is ”street,” but not in a dainty, hipsterified way. Rather it projects a ”what you see is what you get” attitude, from the wood-panelled walls to the man who serves you with a wary look in his eye that says, ”I've seen your type before.”

Don't be unnerved. Go with cash, show your TMW pass, and claim 10 off the sensational food available there, which goes from the workaday cheeseburger to the fusion phenomenon that is the Chinese pulled-pork burger. Top it off with properly spicy kimchi fries and you've got yourself all the reinforcements you'll need for an evening at Telliskivi Creative Hub, perhaps taking in a major concert at Vaba Lava (Telliskivi 60a), or the banging tunes and chillout sets of Erinevate Tubade Klubi (also Telliskivi 60a), translated as The Club of Many Rooms, otherwise known to some as ”The Slipper Club” because of its unique policy of asking revellers to take their shoes off in a special changing

In addition to great burgers, Burger Box also has kimchi fries!

area, instead donning supplied soft footwear.

While you're in the formerly working-class part of Tallinn surrounding Kalamaja, you should head onto the beaten track - specifically the Balti Jaam (Baltic Station) Pavilion (next to the railway station). Reliable sources say that this vast room, surrounded by glass, has been restored to its former glory. The Pavilion used to be where tired travellers would rest their feet at the beginning or the end of the 18-hour train rides to Moscow, or the somewhat shorter blasts to Tartu or Pärnu.

These days, it's a party venue, and TMW has taken over it at the end of March and the beginning of April.

One of the standout gigs, purely for its name, is Polish act Rhythm Baboon, and if you're not careful you might look like one if you're still awake at 3.30am when it starts.

There's also plenty to enjoy if you're a TMW attendee who wants to stay in the centre of the city. You absolutely must spend some time at the truly iconic

Kuku Art Club (Vabaduse Väljak 8); its name is an abbreviation of

Kunsti-Kultuur (Art-Culture), and the men who drink coffee in the attached cafe above the club can tell stories going back decades about what went on there.

Down below is your interest, though, and at the bottom of the stairs, you'll find a genuine link with Tallinn's past, a place where dissident painters once mixed with university profes-

sors, and where you'll still find film directors dancing to modern and retro classics alongside Kuku first-timers. To really understand Tallinn and its recent history, you have to pay a visit to Kuku. While you're there, you'll be able to sip a reasonably-priced beer and hear sounds from the likes of Estonia's PVC16 and Latvia's Sheep Got Waxed. ■

Long considered part of the upcoming wave of pop singersongwriters with an edge along with the likes of Kerli, Iiris has carved out her own niche in the music world, following up her confident debut The Magic Gift Box with two EPs that reinforced her uniqueness, Chinaberry Girl and the latest, Hope. Head to Von Krahl on 30 March to hear the magic, with hits including Weirdo, Tigerhead and the soothing Iridescent Love.

Draper has carved out a productive career as a producer for artists like Ellie Goulding and Rita Ora, but while crafting the hits for others, he has also taken charge of his own solo career, with a new album released in 2016 and spawning a hit single, Break Over You, in which he collaborated with Prides.

An Animated History of Times Past TEXT SILJA HURSKAINEN, PHOTO ANDREI CHERTKOV

ational Registry of Cultural Monuments - an almost fossilised teacher talking about something incomprehensible from half a million years ago.

The Estonian Museum of Natural History has fixed this problem. The exhibition ”The Secrets of the Ancient Sea” opened in January and takes you to the bottom of the sea. A virtual world has been has been created, where you can see the development of life over the last half million years to today at the bottom of the Baltic Sea with your own eyes. Beautiful sea creatures move, the bigger

ones attack the small ones, and colourful aquatic plants float by.

The exhibition's curator Kairi Põldsaar is noticeably excited about the exhibition. ”It’s so difficult to talk about geology, especially that of the Estonian seabed and its changes. So we decided that we would make a video instead!” explains Põldsaar.

The Estonian animation studio BOB Animation came to help; together with the museum’s specialists, they created an underwater world.

The end result is the exhibition, which instead of making you yawn, has a 'wow' effect, so that questions start to form.

Põldsaar is happy to report that

Fossils shed light on changes at the bottom of the sea.

the exhibition is engaging to children to stay staring with wonder and amazement at the sea creatures and aquatic life, wanting to know more about them. It’s not surprising either that throughout the exhibition’s short run it’s received much praise for its unique approach.

In addition to the virtual ele-

ment, there are fossils found in Estonia on display around which the sea creatures have been drawn.

The deep sea is but one element of the museum’s exhibitions. The three-storey museum also looks at Estonian rivers, lakes, forests, and animals.

”The Secrets of the Ancient Sea” is open until March 2018.

The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday. ■

19 Ticket Information

PUBLIC TRANSPORT Tallinn’s public transport system consists of trams, buses, and trolleys. All three use the same ticketing system. In 2013, a smartcard ticketing system was introduced. If you plan on using public transport more than three times, this is your best option. Smartcards can be purchased and topped up at R-Kiosks and are transferrable. The Tallinn Card also allows you to use public transport for free.

Both cards must be validated by touching them to the orange card reader.

Detailed route plans are displayed at all the stops, or plan you journey ahead of time on-line at: soiduplaan.tallinn.ee/#tallinna-linn/map/en

travel news

The New XPRS The Viking Line XPRS was renovated in January.

TEXT AND PHOTO MIKKO SAVIKKO

There is more light on the ship

and moving around has been made easier. The shop now has a big perfume area and there is more space around the checkouts. The atrium has also seen some change, Club-X is bigger.

Entry is also more comfortable.

The Robert’s Coffee next to the Bistro Bufee has been made more functional. The buffet has

also been improved in terms of equipment and food. The buffet is longer and the selection of food at lunch will feed both vegetarians and meat eaters.

We liked the lamb tartar and the huge selection of dessert.

They also have spicy sausage and sushi.

The Katajanoka terminal has also been renovated. There are now automated Viking Line check-in stations. ■

Tallink’s Megastar took to the seas TEXT AND PHOTO MIKKO SAVIKKO

The new and modern Finnish Strait

shuttle ferry is suited to all kinds of clients. The interior, designed by dSign Vertti Kivi & Co is made to offer more efficient service.

There are over 300 seats in the Sitting Lounge. Each place has its own charging station. Business passengers can enjoy food and drink in the Business Lounge. The cheaper Comfort Lounge offers quieter travel with coffee and small snacks.

There is a large selection of beer in the Sea Pub. The pub has an enclosed terrace that can be enjoyed in the winter too. The restaurant selection offers everything from a modern buffet to Burger King. A children’s play area can be found beside the restaurant area.

There are only 47 cabins on the Megastar. You can pass the time in the two-level shop, where you can quickly get your shopping done through their self-serve Quick Shopping. There is a huge selection in the Traveller Superstore and you can bring your purchases directly to your car. The ship has 100 parking spots.

Megastar can transport 2800 passengers. It is environmentally friendly and specially designed for travel between Tallinn and Helsinki. ■

The children's play area is located beside the restaurant area.

Multi-level shopping and the new self-serve checkout Quick Shopping make purchases a breeze.
