It's been an eventful few days for Team Estonia at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. 19-year-old  Maria Romanjuk made her Olympic debut and won the second heat in the women's 100 metre breaststroke.

A visit to the Estonian cafe 'Jää-äär' in Berlin

During my recent trip to Berlin I couldn't resist stopping by the Jää-äär cafe in Brunnenstraße. I love to see Estonian businesses flourishing outside of Estonia, in my opinion there should be more of them! Jää-äär cafe has been operating for a few years now and is not only an eatery but a creative event space as well.  Music, literature and other promotional functions take place here throughout the year.

It's always great to see Estonian language outside of Estonia!

Two of my favourite things about the cafe is the use of Estonian 

textiles and a basket full of Estonian books. 

Jää-äär cafe & creative event space is located at Brunnenstr. 56, Berlin
