Funny! We'll be in Tallinn in less than a month, but we're just going to do it as a day trip from Helsinki.

(But I can figure it out from the order given.)<br /><br />I propose that the international symbol for days of the week should be images of sides of a die, with symbols showing 0-7 pips. 0 & 7 represent Sunday (allowing for those cultures that start the week on Sunday and Monday). Then 1-6 representing Monday-Saturday (or E-L if you like). Now how do I get the world to adopt my brilliant idea?

Excellent that there's an easy notation for "no one sober enough to spend money" in Estonian. All countries should have that.<br /><br />And thanks for catching my typo... I know the difference, I swear. :) Oliver – thanks for all the info. Excellent that there's an easy notation for "no one sober enough to spend money" in Estonian. All countries should have that.

0 {blank} usually means they close the place when there's noone left sober enough too spend any money.

And Balkan != Baltic

By the way, weekdays in Estonian:
Esmaspäev
Teisipäev
Kolmapäev
Neljapäev
Reede
Laupäev
Pühapäev
Much more practical – no double T's and S's.

Glad you enjoyed your visit.
"Thank you. Come again" :)
