Our Tartu trip has yet again coincided with the Hansa market. We shopped for honey and artisanal karask<\/i> bread, and browsed all sorts of other interesting stalls.<\/p>\n

There are things that are a natural part of life in Estonia that barely exist in Sweden. I spend the entire year missing some of them.<\/p>\n

Honey is one of them. Technically, yes, of course you can buy honey in Sweden. Except that most supermarkets offer you “solid honey” and “liquid honey” with little more detail, and both are from “a mixture of EU and non-EU sources”. Whereas an Estonian supermarket will have an entire end shelf with several brands of artisanal honey gathered from specified plant species, and fresh honeycomb, and flavoured honey, and more.<\/p>\n

Women’s clothing is another such thing. And again, yes, Swedish stores sell women’s clothing, but it’s all either very dull or very “fast fashion”. It doesn’t take many minutes walking around Tartu to notice the differences in how women dress here. They wear colour and patterns! Of all my summer dresses, only one is Swedish. The rest I’ve bought in either Estonia or London. Every single clothing-oriented market stall has all kinds of interesting dresses. Linen dresses with embroidery! Spiral cut skirts! Dresses with lace detail! Sadly I have all the dresses I need right now and can’t justify buying any more.<\/p>\n
