New House!

I actually have some interesting news to put on my Blog! Sirli and I have a new house, well actually it's an apartment. All the papers were signed last week, we have taken the plunge and are now officially home owners. The property market is pretty hot here at the moment, and even though it will probably level of a bit from now on (prices have doubled in the last 2 years!) I think it will be a good long term investment. The only problem is that we now have to put in a kitchen (you can see the blank wall where it will go in the first picture) and buy furniture. On the weekend we went to furniture stores, and it was scary to seeing prices in relation to my warehouse wage!! The building has the best view of Tallinn I have ever seen from the 11th floor (3rd picture), but unfortunately our apartment is on the second floor!!!
Anyway, you can look at more pictures if you are not one of those people whose work wont let them look at the evils of Flickr.

Online Elections

Today is election day in Estonia. While I'm sure no one is interested in the intricacies of Estonian Politics, it is interesting that Estonians could vote online. It is probably the first national e-election anywhere in the world! Needless to say, I can't vote! The guy below is the PM casting his vote.
