- Wi-Fi is fairly ubiquitous and usually free. If you have to pay, it’s only Kr 10.00 for the day (about £0.40, and you can use the same login all over the city)
- The smoked salmon is so much better than the muck you get in English supermarkets (although to be fair, fresh Scottish smoked salmon is delicious)

- The women are the most astonishingly beautiful creatures on Earth

- The snow (promised later in the week, I hope)

- The architectural contrast. In the suburbs Tallinn has a mixture of Scandinavian style timber homes and soviet era blocks of flats. In the centre, you have the medieval Old Town, with it’s fairytale towers and ancient wooden inns, sitting right next to steel and glass high-rise monoliths, that have risen like phallic symbols of the economic potency of capitalism

- My favourite bars and cafés are in Tallinn

- Trams. What a great way to get around a city? I have not used Nottingham’s new SuperTram, as yet, as it doesn’t go anywhere I want to go (i.e. bookshops and Trent Bridge Cricket Ground)

- Dinning out on £25 (for two, good food too)

- The hundreds of different salads and sausages to choose from. May I suggest the Christmas salad with cranberries? Saku, the local beer, is also very good

- It’s less than 3-hours away from London
