Into the Wild - Sean Penn
If you want to think about life, have a good look at this movie. For me this is a true masterpiece and I believe Penn's first one as director. The story of a graduated smart guy who decides to leave everything to go to Alaska. During his Kerouac's alike On the Road experience he meets several friends: old guy, hippies, Danish couple, young girl and so on. Experiences that will help him to find the meaning of life (and of being happy) while out Into The Wild.
This said, listen good to Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) soundtrack. Amazing.

Tallinn - Estonia
What a fantastic city. I am totally surprised. It is unspoiled, no big shops in the Old Town, no globalization chains on Toompea Hill. Medieval, cobblestones, Russian churches, a pharmacy dating back at least to 1422 and so on. A truly jump back in the past. Visit this town NOW before it is too late to admire its spirit.
I am also lodging in a beautiful hotel in the Old Town, Hotel Telegraaf (good 2-nights stay offer through booking.com). Tonight however the pool was not accessible due to maintenance !!
I had some truly awesome food at Restaurant Ö (http://www.restoran-o.ee/).
A place to come back on a summer day.

Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Martin Luther King
(15-1-1929 4-4-1968)
"I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."²This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, From every mountainside, let freedom ring! And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.But not only that:Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.From every mountainside, let freedom ring.And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:Free at last! Free at last!Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
