Memorial photos and my impressions of the Baltic counties trip(4/4) Tartu, Tallinn(again) and Helsinki(again)

I would like to finalise my impressions of Baltic countries based on my pictuires as below, 

1. Tartu 
1-1 It took 8 hour from Vilinus to Tartu via Riga. There are two major bus company, ECOLINES and LUX EXPRESS. The bus I have used is all ECOLINES up to Tartu.
In the bus of ECOLINES we can use Wi-Fi, Drick cafe, and WC available. Only problem is there are no Electoric Power. And LUX EXPRESS provides it.

1-2 Tartu is beautiful city
When arriving at Tartu city, the husband of the owner welcomed me! How kind! It was 23 O`clock and seems that they worried about if I lose my way. When we were arrived at the house I stayed the host(mother) and grand mother welcomed me and had a nice hot coffee. It made me happy and warm in mind. In the morning I walked aound the house, and I found very beautiful Ema yuigi River and houses with beautiful flowers.

1-3 I reserved the ticket to Tallinn from Tartu, the bus was LUX EXPRESS.
I should return to Tallinn on 12 Aug, then I immediately reserved the bus ticket and the bus is LUX EXPRESS. It was first time to use the LUX. I was little bit happy because the bus provides AC power and sound luxuary.

1-4 Beatiful city hall of Tartu
After reservation of bus ticket, I moved to the center of Tartu city, and found the places are very beautiful and those building and street are remained as if it was middle ages. Middle pictuire as below is the man and lady who hold each other and kiss. So cool!

1-5 Outlook of the Tartu University.
How do you think about this beautiful building! This is the University of Tartu is biggest university and only classical university in Estonia and it was established by swedish King in 1632.

1-6 I visited the Tartu University and musium inside of it. 
It is little bit hard to find the entrance of the musium because inside of university only small signboad and the entrance door was closed. I knocked and opened the door, I young person looked at me seems he was little bit surprised, and this is the right reception. He asked me if I want to visit only museum or all the exbitions, and I said I want to see all. Then he first guide me the rooms where many precious scalpture are exibited.

1-7 A purnishment room for student
When I finished to look around the scalpure, the young person asked me to wait for a while because there are another guest and he want to guid us simultaniously to the next exibition. We guided to go up and up the stair and finnally we were arrived at a dark small room under the eaves named the purnishment room. The room was used to purnish student who broke the rule of the universtity. The student was lonely stay the room for three weeks. There are bed, desk, and WC. They are surved only some bread and milk. But it seems to be good for to concentrate to paint a picute.

1-9 Antique store and Abacus in it.
After visiting the Tartu university I vesited one antique store and find avacus as right picture as below. This type of avacus was used at Russia and they has 4-2-4, total 10 ball at each row. It is different from Japanese abacus which has 1-4, total 5 ball. But it is very interesting because Estonian people are very good at calcurating same as Japanese.

1-10 An Estonia Plane
One more thing that I was surprised at the Antique store is Plane. I asked the shop master how to use this plane, he answered that this plane is cut wook by pushing. It is very looks like Japanese plane but Japanese one is used by pulling. I can not judge which is reasonable but maybe both is OK and each one should be suitable for each people.

1-11 Chest of drawers
There are beautiful dishes but I was interested in the chest of drauwer as below. Maybe people who can use the plane can make a fine furniture include the chest of drawers. When I pull the drawer it smoothly pull like a Japanese furniture.

1-12 The Lunch at the Tartu
Neare the Tartu University there are a famous restrant, Pussirohukelder. I supporsed the restaurant should be top of hillside but I could not find the restaurant, because it is under the hill! I finally found the restaurant but the prices are little bit high than I expected. So I selected reasonable one chicken wing, but oh my god! It is only 6 small wing. It was delisious but I can not be satisfied with that. If you want to eat chicken wing, you are advised to come Nagoya of Japan, the Tebasaki is much delicious. After drink beer and chicken wing, I departed the restaurant and find another good cafe and order chocorate cake and kafe mocha. It was delicious and I was satisfied a lot!
