On the second day of the year, Anu's voice is a bit hoarse, but she has obviously welcomed the new year, 2024, at the "Bad Girls" conversation evening in the real hotspot of Tallinn, the cafe-restaurant "Mood" on Freedom Square. "It was a real hot spot, a fire show and a party until morning," says Anu. This "Mood" cafe, a place called "Moskva" and then "Wabaduse" before, has been an important landmark for Anu, an important meeting place during her school years. "It was the main place to hang out, where we put our shoelaces after school," recalls Anu. "We got together in a cafe under the Moscow clock, because we didn't have phones in our pockets or at home." "I didn't drink alcohol, I had my coffee and a cake," says Anu. "Imagine, there was live music and everyone from punks and hippies to chic ladies and gentlemen drinking cognac." Anu's favorites were Aleksandri and Moorapea cakes. Once, a whole tray full of them was sent to him by the gentleman at the next table, upon which the specimen ran away, blushing.
