Tallinn, downtown: Viru Keskus
The new shopping mall at Hotel Viru is called Viru Keskus
(keskus = "center"). And inside, it's as western as you
could want. They even have escalators. The Baltics' version
of Starbucks is called Double Coffee, which is slightly more
than a cafe, and slightly less than a restaurant. But the
prices are damn good. For now. And there are at least five
flower shops in Viru Keskus that I counted.
This is Lena and Kertu-- they've been friends for a long time,
and Kertu's even been to Fort Wayne to visit, back in winter
of 2000.
