and for people who want to learn and experience Estonia/UK


 People who do may be interested in the following:

First of all in 2011 Tallinn (along with Turku , Finland) is the Capital of Culture for Europe. A few years ago in 2008 Liverpool was the Capital of Culture and was a major success and included many events including a big mechanical spider which climbed down a tower block and paraded along the street. I was lucky enough to see this whilst travelling to and back from Stockholm via Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
I am sure there are a lot of events planned for Tallinn too. The Official website can be found here : http://www.tallinn2011.ee/?id=91 (In English but other languages available :)) and also the current events can be found by downloading a PDF here
http://www.tallinn2011.ee/?id=258
It would be an ideal time to visit Tallinn and Estonia and learn a lot from it be it by Music, Literature , Plays or whatever is going on at the time.


Now probably not really in the main vein but maybe good time to visit the UK is London 2012 Olympics. The various Olympic events are of course taking part in London but there are events around other places too including Manchester (Old Trafford, if that counts as Manchester? :)) and Weymouth. Of course there are great events on like the opening event which always seems try and out do the last country. So if you love sport and want to see the UK maybe this is the best time to come? The offical page is here: http://www.london2012.com/(Please accept my apologies for lack of other language options! Pesky English!)
and of course I dont guarantee that this will go ahead as the end of the world is 2012 sometime... maybe.

Of course these are just two major events but there are plenty of other events and lovely places to see anyhow.
