Weekend world

After having finished my statistics exam, I really longed for some change. Some of my course mates went to Scotland, but for reasons I will describe, I couldn’t do that. What happened is that I went to London and played in a tournament with my old Estonian football team - FC Toompea. Considering the team we had, the result was unexpectedly good- got second place in a four-team tournament consequently losing to the winners (British Press Association). Oh, and if I may, I was selected best player of the tournament. After the tournament I had a little dinner with my teammates in a fairly good Mediterranean restaurant, where I had my usual favorite: seafood. The overall atmosphere was really political, since I happened to sit in the political end of the table. It was very interesting and nostalgic to hear three main political figures from different Estonian parties (of whom one is in power) debate on the current Estonian policy hot topics. And by today, I must say, one of the things discussed around that table has had an impact on real life. Strange, but it really reminded me the times I worked in the State Chancellery.

As the evening progressed, I left my team and met up with other Estonians working or studying in London. We went to an Irish pub somewhere on Picadilly just to have a couple of drinks with a really pleasant chat on what people where doing and etc. I was mainly interested on how one should look for a job in London, especially in the City. At the moment it seems to me that this is the place I am aiming, but we'll see about that somewhere in September. Anyway, the evening ended at Oliver's place somewhere near Earl's Court.

Sunday offered me a nice English breakfast in a really cool cafe somewhere near Earl's Court. The atmosphere as well as the interior was something I haven't encountered here in Brighton. Maybe one would find it more likely somewhere in France or places like that. Of course another defeat for Liverpool- a bit undeserved, but then again, maybe not. Think they are a bit tired from the season. And then the usual London Victoria, Clapham Junction, East Croydon, Gatwick Airport and Brighton train back home.
