It&#8217;s me, Ikea<br \/>\nguess where I have been? in Tartu! the second largest town in Estland, the capital of South-Estonia. In fact, I was there for a while, but now I am back here in Kadriorg. But let me tell u what I found out. First, there was The Flood! Have u seen any floods lately? It looks pretty much like this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/CIMG4908.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1789\" alt=\"CIMG4908\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/CIMG4908-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/CIMG4908-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/CIMG4908-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But this is not all, i&#8217;m afraid. Often, there is also quite a bit of wind which blows you into the water. Lots of it, as u can see. So yes, i got a little bit wet, i&#8217;m afraid. And sick too, if u ask me. I was covered with orange spots for the whole week!!<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that it was all a few weeks ago and now much of the water &#8211; actually the largest river in Tartu, Emaj\u00f5gi &#8211; has now stepped down a little, so you can sit on the benches. And, the good news is also that it did not take any houses with it, luckily. (except this one very large tree-trunk where a large family of rats lived &#8211; they were relocated to the suburbs outside the city, thanks to the flooding, apparently)<\/p>\n<p>Also, my friend Lotte tells me that it is perfectly normal for rivers to flood in the spring. I am still little not sure about that, because it seems more like a mystery, don&#8217;t you think? But here&#8217;s my plan &#8211; I will check it out next spring and let you know! So, until then I have a question &#8211; have u seen any floods lately? Have fun and cu l8r!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/CIMG4899.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1790\" alt=\"CIMG4899\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/CIMG4899-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/CIMG4899-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/CIMG4899-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"tweetbutton1787\" class=\"tw_button\" style=\"float: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ikeathegiraffe.com%2Fblog%2Fwhere-ikea-meets-the-flood-in-tartu%2F&amp;via=ikeathegiraffe&amp;text=..%20where%20Ikea%20Meets%20the%20Flood%20in%20Tartu&amp;related=&amp;lang=en&amp;count=horizontal\" class=\"twitter-share-button\"  style=\"width:55px;height:22px;background:transparent url('https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-tweet-button\/tweetn.png') no-repeat  0 0;text-align:left;text-indent:-9999px;display:block;\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello there!
