Hi,

Estonia has Russian courses too. It is a lot cheaper, but what is more important, by ferry, going to Helinki is only 2 hours. So you get to see more. planty of Russians in Talinn (babes), and it is so much cheaper.
Also VISA's are a lot easier to get and you can visit Stockholm too. So Estonia seems a better option in this case (beautiful too).

I'm not picky as too where I go, but I'd like to see Russai, England, and maybe Norway before I get put 6 foot under.
where can I go to get more info, and start getting my documents togother for the trip?
thanks for the info you've given me sofar.
thanks,
Bill

Let me get some stuff together.
It is hard as most stuff there is in estonian, so i might need a little time.
The prices are pretty close as a stonian girl gave them to me.

Thanks.
I've checked out about a visa on the web, and it said that I didn't need a visa if I stay less then 90 days in 6 months.
I'll be getting a pass port. I'm a U.S. citizian.
thanks for all youer help.

Hi,

Well you can get a single room apartment around Talin from $200. If you take about $300 you should have a decent place close to the centre. So that will keep you dry for a month.
Foor is a joke so cheap there. A nice restaurant meal is often close to a big meal at macdonalds.

Plenty of decent places there.

Russian classes, i am still looking into this. Exoect to pay around $400 for three weeks of classes at 4 hours a day.
Haven't found the right classes yet (most sites are only in Estonian).
Another option is to hire a woman to practice Russian with. This will be soooo cheap as incomes there are a joke, a medium income Swede is regarded as a rich men over there.

So you will have plenty of practice options.
Estonia has a very decent night life. So in all respects you will win there.
There are ferries going up and down to Helsinki and Stockholm, so if you stay longer, you could see a good deal of the baltic for a very interesting price.
