Still need to post more about Essen, but first I might as well do a bit of Riga!
So far most everything is pretty cool. Landed at the airport and it has free WiFi.
Kairi, my contact in Tallinn booked me a coach ride up to Tallinn.
It's about a 4 1/2 hour bus ride up north but I figured it'd be cheaper and since I've never seen Latvia, this might be kind of nice.
I can sleep later if i get tired since I had to wake up at 4am to get to DUS for my 6h35 flight.
I'm sitting on the bus now and there is free WiFi as well as power outlets by each seat. Kind of plush though the tables wont support laptops so have to type a bit cramped with this thing on my lap.
I picked up a LV sim card but it's not working normally. I can make SOS calls but that's it.
None of my other SIM cards allow me to call out normally either.
Before I got this phone unlocked, at least my UK SIM would work in other countries even though I'd have toll charges.
I tried my AT SIM in my AT phone and that's giving me SOS only message too.
Frustrating.
Any clues?
Maybe it's time to buy a properly unlocked phone from a non-network affiliated shop.
Air Baltic was nice. From DUS to RIX it's a 2 hour flight. Ended up behind the emergency exit row and no seat in front of me.
After having omelette with veggies for breakfast (served with yogurt, bread, desert cake) ended up passing out.
Unfortunately, woke up with my eye feeling funny. The inner corner of my left lid was a little swollen and felt irritated. It seems like it's not so bad now, just a little sensitive. Kind of freaked me out cuz last nite coming back from dinner, someone was mentioning how during a couple of friends' visit to Los Angeles, they all ended up with pink eye. I don't think it's that though! I hope not!
There's a TV monitor on the bus. Earlier a music video was playing with a girl in a bustier top (and boobs) was strutting around with high heeled boots on. Right now there's some kind of animated thing going on with guns and tanks with images of violence. Kind of a Pink Floyd/The Wall look. Flags and armbands are white circles with red background and a sinister black symbol - almost like a $ sign but sideways and evil.
I wonder what this is!
Oh, now it's over
and it's Freddy Mercury in black n white with the rest of Queen!
