I'm in Tallinn with the missus.
That's in Estonia for those of you with no knowledge of the world 
That's in Europe for... well, those who *really* don't have a clue.
It's a nice town, lots of cool cultural stuff to do etc. Interesting food available etc.
Their "Casinos" are *laughable*. It's usually rows of crappy slots.
There was one casino that offered "poker", but that was Stud Oasis Poker.
There are loads of spas and stuff. Several places that offer massages, one advertised special massages for "mature, single gentlemen" but my wife said I don't qualify so I can't provide more details.
My hotel has "wi-fi". However I had trouble getting my wireless internet to work so I went to reception... "oh you need this", the guy says, handing me a UDP-cable.
Estonian Wireless: No wires, just cables 
I've been drinking some tonight (started with some dark honey beer, which was suprisiningly drinkable with dinner) and have just had some weird Tallinn-made liqueur... now I'd love to play some poker, but I don't believe that lack of sleep+ alcohol + dodgy "wireless" internet is +EV.
I did buy a bottle of scotch tonight that was the most expensive bottle in the shop. A bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label. Is that boc, or just expensive?

"Johnnie Walker Blue Label — Johnnie Walker's ultimate blend. Every bottle is serial numbered and sold in a silk-lined box, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Although no age is declared, it is believed many of the whiskies blended are aged for 50 to 60 years. 86 proof."
Assuming you enjoy scotch. You did good, kid.
But I prefer bourbon.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

Tallinn is great. I lived there all last year. I started playing poker because I worked for 24hpoker for a bit (who own B2B). I'm heading back for a holiday in a few days.
I found the wifi coverage there second to none. Almost every pub and cafe in central Tallinn has free wifi. It's certainly a lot better than in Australia.
The one thing that makes Tallinn particularly wonderful is that it has the greatest bar in the world - Levist Väljas.
