More than anything, it's the smell...@Kristjan:<br /><br />More than anything, it's the smell, and that this drunk (I can't say <i>person</i>) gulped the halfie down in front of <i>everyone else.</i><br /><br />@et al.<br />The taaraautomaat is meant to do good to people, and then we lose the innocense of it by sometimes having to see <i>this</i>, the picture that Giustino drew.<br /><br />In a bigger city, there are several malls and shops; cheap shops have taaraautomaats in a building separate to theirs, because these shops are frequented by a clientele that buys alcohol. Expensive shops keep the machines inside, but still very near the exit. If there's like one taaraautomaat per one small town, then it's just sad.<br /><br />Maybe there's a certain time of day when these people go to such places. I wouldn't know which.Mardushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727908952144069020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-36152470521428876772011-07-16T23:14:43.381+02:002011-07-16T23:14:43.381+02:00Don't we all have sad storys with us?

Seems that most problematic thing is village-drunkards outlook for life, their I can't help myself mentality. Its kills them slowly and poisons others days.suicidaalnemeeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502924841419365052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-14145048176852045272011-07-13T17:09:54.080+02:002011-07-13T17:09:54.080+02:00Losing the feeling for humans?

That would make your heart ache at the injustices committed against him.<br /><br />If the world is a valley of tears, there have to be eyes to shed them.Lingüistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327147408198046253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-35323085738479707452011-07-13T11:18:01.139+02:002011-07-13T11:18:01.139+02:00You have kind of brought it on yourself, Giustino....You have kind of brought it on yourself, Giustino. By downsizing from Tallinn to Tartu to Viljandi. The smaller the place, the bigger the percentage of drunks. At this rate you'll be living in Obinitsa or Värska soon, where there are NOTHING BUT drunks.Rainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160091690005391250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-4035432142594244292011-07-12T23:54:39.239+02:002011-07-12T23:54:39.239+02:00There are a lot of drunks in Estonia, Kristjan.

We are all sort of drowning in the problems of humanity, of which the drunk is but one colorful manifestation.<br /><br />I'd like to write these sketchbook posts from now on. I'll create for you a mosaic of Estonia. Not everything has to have a point though.Giustinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756707910693785516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-73902962122735928692011-07-12T23:38:26.337+02:002011-07-12T23:38:26.337+02:00What is the point of your post, Giustino?
