Stories from the city. April 23, 2012. Tallinn – Viking Line Terminal C – 17/04/2012 6:51 am. I’m already inside the terminal. Okay, do you have Ami with you? Okay See you in a bit.”. View from the terminal. Tallink Terminal D – 7:24 am. A cup of okay looking coffee stands before me. Another terminal, same lack of colours. Equally empty, just me, the bartender and the Eurosport TV voice to keep us informed. Fare well, friends! Talking to Oskar. He also missed the ferry, so we’re two idiots....Sovjet styl...

Mixed feelings | The Wallerstein Weekly
https://thewallersteinweekly.wordpress.com/2012/05/27/mixed-feelings
Stories from the city. May 27, 2012. About the end of the POLIS programme and about the busy summer school while we are stressing out about our thesises. About the grumpy and sometimes antipathetic Estonians. About the disappointing city of Tallinn. About being stuck here while wanting to start fieldwork in Brussels and Paris. About not being able to play music with my band, knowing that the first gigs are already planned. About leaving my classmates behind. For the hard crash on the asphalt of no cash.

Stories from the city. April 5, 2012. A country of milk and tea. Now that we have left the UK behind us and had some time to process past experiences in the cosy environments of our homes, now that we have taken a plane to Estonia and arrived in a fundamentally different world, I feel the urge for one last reflection on the charming island we came from, and the people inhabiting it. 8216;local’ nearly made me run headlong into a concrete wall).

Stories from the city. August 18, 2012. Now that I’m writing my thesis. Now that the last two weeks of Polis have begun. Now that real life is only one heartbeat away. Now that I’m considering my options. Now that I’m already seeing myself writing a PhD or being the director of the city administration of neighbourhood development. Now that I’m too busy writing a proper blogpost. This is what’s been eating me, recently:. Http:/ opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/30/the-busy-trap/. August 18, 2012.

Stories from the city. July 7, 2012. Bye bye Tallinn, bye bye Polis, hello the rest of my life! But we did have a wonderful and crazy year, all in all. Now that the storm has passed, time to make an inventory of one year of Polis:. I drank hundreds of liters of coffee and. I drank whole rivers of stale beer and spent way too much money. Borrowed money from 4 friends and a bank. I read more than 100 academic articles and around 30 books. I did a few exams, a few essays and countless groupworks. I am not a...

My Stone And Me | The Wallerstein Weekly
https://thewallersteinweekly.wordpress.com/2012/06/07/my-stone-and-me
Stories from the city. June 7, 2012. My Stone And Me. Disclaimer: This sort of text/poem was written in the middle of the night, after having had a dream. It’s not finished and it’s not even very good but I wanted to share it anyway. When I was little I picked up a pebble. And kept it with me because it was beautiful. When I grew bigger the pebble grew with me. And I hung it around my neck. I was here, and then I was there. Although they were very near to one another. And I had a surge of love. We can al...

C’est la vie | The Wallerstein Weekly
https://thewallersteinweekly.wordpress.com/2012/07/29/cest-la-vie
Stories from the city. July 29, 2012. C’est la vie. I’m reading Madame Bovary on the terrace of Aux Folies, a trendy bar playing funk in the middle of Asian-dominated Belleville. Les goûts et les couleurs. People who claim to be cosmopolitan either don’t know what they’re talking about, or they’re some sort of superhumans. I’m not one of them. With which they are treated by locals, … and, yes, you really should be feeling sorry for ME. Fieldwork and Weltschmerz. First-world problems anyway. Studies citie...

Stories from the city. Outside, rain is pouring in a particularly dark start of this year’s autumn. Four days ago I was granted the title of Master in European Urban Cultures, a title I had earned after several exams and essays, a handful of group-works and a thesis. This year has been, to say the least, a challenge. We took off. As a group of 8 people setting sail to 22 cities in Europe, meeting a multitude of people along the way. Stories have been told and people have been hurt. Horrible things we...
