Tallinn-Riga-Tbilisi

When i entered to bus in Tallinn I hear word "Tbilisi". Some guy and girl were speaking about travel destinations. I quickly joined to the converstation asking instructions to Georgia. I found out that guy was Marius and he was exchange student in Tibilisi University. We ended up discussing about all things in the world and didnt noticed the whole 5h trip to Riga.
When we arrived to Tibilisi Marius started to find us a cheap taxi, because taxidrivers like to overcharge tourist. He found one for 25 lari. On 1st km gasoline ended and we pushed car to the nearest gastation. What a sport in -2 degrees. Inspite our efforts drivers annouced 25 PER FACE fee in the end. So Marius had a litte fight with them but i agreed to pay 50 because it was nothing considered estonian prices and distance.

Start

My future plans came pretty clean when i accidentally met Joel from Australia in Maailmakyla festival this summer.

I was with my friends next to Pirita klooster and John called me and invited me to the festival what i was already enjoying over the hedge. So we met and had some memorable moments there and after the consent we were heading to center. I needed to use the ATM but some dude had left his card in it, so i took it out and shouted out loud:"Who is Joel Alas?". And the guy standing next to me said:"Me". So we got off with a good start and i invited him later to John`s place where we had little jamming session and where he met V6sa.

So we had quite fun time together and exacly 5 months later i bought a plane ticket from Riga, Latvia to Tbilisi, Georgia. And two weeks before leaving i had damn hard time because i was living in Tallinn more than 5 years and i needed to move out from apartment and give up my work and so on. I had a big list of things i wanted to do but some are still undone.

In the 2.12.06 after weeks of sweatting I finnaly move out in eight hours and went 50 km outside from the city to my parents house in countryside. At this point i was sure catching a 6.am bus to Riga in the morning to spend some time in Riga. But after i tryed my mum`s delicious dinner i was forced to take a nap. So my dad gave me a lift back to town at 9.am and i do my best to catch last bus not to miss plane in Riga. I even call to Kaire to help me pack and to give lift to busstation, otherwise i would have missed it.

And thats how it started. I needed a change - and i got it.
