Sunset in Ialjuva: Päikeseloojang

Just a mini update since I haven't published anything in a while:

This is Ialjuva, you might remember the city for housing the first university and having the Ego of a thousand suns.

House to many of Tarvastu's great Poets, Authors, Scientists and Politicians 'Ialvans' don't consider themselves part of the Greater Tarvastu Metropolitan area even though they're in the middle of it.

Adding to their Ego, Ialjuva Ülikool (University) and Ialvan Poet Jaak Vilms are featured on the most used Kroon banknote.

So let's spend a lovely sunset in this City!

We arrive early at the University's sporting grounds, As older buildings are condemned and others burn down, the University buys the land and turns it into large public sporting grounds.

A small country of just under 600,000 people proudly brags of having some of the best athletes for its size, this is the University Jalgpall Stadium, gymnasium and surrounding courts.

Tennis, the 'National pastime' is a favorite at the University, the Tennis stadium often hosts the 'wildest' tennis crowd, (Tarvasians, especially Ialvans take tennis very seriously)

The sun begins to set as we reach "The Prime" a new high density development area built on land won from the sea.

Make a wish! an old Tarvasian legend says wishes are granted as the last rays of sun sink behind the horizon.

This is the Central Plaza, where the famous town meeting of 1745 led to a series of revolts and ultimately the independence movement.

Theater, another favorite past time. The Regal is a historical theater on the Central plaza, next to it can be seen the familiar blue glow of the Metroo.

Care to join us for a night show?

Hm, good stuff going on there. It's interesting what the big sports are in other countries. Are they silent during the matches or do they cheer like it's a college football game?

Tarvasians, especially Ialvans are rather noisy during matches. In tennis they taunt the opposing player by yelling right before he hits the ball, this has caused some problems in international players. Football games they chant and sing like in England, a fan favorite is doing the "wave" a tradition taken from games played in or against Mexico. :thumb:
