So close, and yet so far. I Visited a Russian Town Next to the EU. See What It’s Like. We stumbled across this video a couple of days ago and it really piqued our curiosity. As THE BIG WIGS continue to create one battle after another, everyday people find ways of simply making life happen. This video is a perfect example, and it’s also a perfect example as how we intelligent humans should behave. Literally every day, everyday people cross borders. They shop and see their friends and families. They take holidays. They go to the Cinema.
They Fall in love. But, in this case, the people who live in Pechory, a small town in the Pskov region right next to Estonia. “Western European humanity moves by will and reason. A Russian person lives first of all with his heart and imagination… Therefore, the average European is ashamed of sincerity… Russian person, on the contrary, expects from a person, first of all, kindness, conscience and sincerity.” — Life goes on. But, cross the border and . . . nothing happens. This is the way it should be. Watch the video above. Then get your bags packed. “One World is rather abolishing the concept of borders in people’s minds and replacing devotion to individual nations with belief in one united world.” — Mouloud Benzadi.
Getting to Estonia is easy via flights to Tallinn (TLL) from major European cities, or by ferry from Helsinki (2-2.5 hours) and Stockholm. Major carriers like Finnair, Ryanair, and airBaltic operate there. The country is part of the Schengen area, allowing visa-free travel for many, including Canadian citizens for up to 90 days.
