It's all so iffy!

Well, howdy, mates. Felt like writing in English tonight. It's so strange to cognitively realise those little things every now and then. Even when they are minor aspects of life, they keep freaking me out so bad! Seriously, what's up with that?! With every little piece of knowledge I obtain there grows a need for more. Everlasting consumer society relflects here, perhaps (and here I just have to mention that I purchased this very nice scarf today, even though I didn't have a desperate need for that and it was just a beautiful accessory. "Diamonds are a girl's best friends";))? It is like getting stuck in and endless circle of questions. The more you know, the more you want to know. I know that I don't know a thing. But I guess the important part is, that I want to know. I NEED to know. I had this very inspiring conversation with my mum's friend, who is also a lecturer at the University of Tartu and she paid us a visit today. An incredible lady she is. She is such a bohemian, yet so much on the ground with her feet. She managed to inspire me into deeper research in the questions that have been puzzling me recently. I just realised that I have to try to retain my curiosity. This is what keeps the circle going. I find it rather captivating. What a marvellous amount of information to acquire there is - impenetrable!
By the way, you people, who think Finnish and Estonian folks are alike, you might want to think again! A culture shock, perhaps let's put it that way, hit me. Can you imagine - no such thing as friendship between a male and a female exists without any implications. It just doesn't happen here. There's always a catch. And not to mention that when one happens to walk up to a stranger in the street to just talk to them... It's almost inappropriate. They do, sometimes, do it. But this sometimes is when ... they're drunk. Go figure! I thought I was weird. Not implying anything, though. Man, this world has some twisted ways of functioning. And you know what's random? My Biology teacher speaks Estonian to me every now and then. That's kind of scary.

To be drunk while young and fresh. Oy!

I must say the first paragraph is pretty much what I discover almost every day. And it gets worse, which is just excellently enjoyable :).
