The Old Town
In more modern times Estonia was of course part of the Soviet Union and a large proportion of Tallinn’s population is Russian. A rather humorous leftover from these days is that many of the streets in Tallinn are known as Prospects. On maps and on road signs this is shortened to Pst. It appeals to my sense of the ridiculous to know that two of old Tallinn’s main streets are called Vanu-viru Pst and Vana-Posti Pst.
The currency is the Estonian Kroner which is known as the EEK. It sounds quite silly to be told that something, as shown below, costs seventy five eeks.
