Thanks for sharing! There's a lot of things in Tallinn that make me want to stop there. Helps that my brother-in-law has some great recommendations of things to do, one of my good friends I made living here is also from there, so would is great to know there is some good places to play. Moving it up my list.Talling have nice hill hill club.
They put up Eurotour once per year. A lot of effort when they make something happen there.
(Helsinki is also a common stop from where I am if I am heading home).HCMC is way safer than Hanoi, has more than 400 pool halls and will soon be the epicentre of pool in Asia, if not the world. Vietnamese politics dictates that Hanoi gets the big events and that will take a bit longer to change but it will change. This is not a slight on Hanoi, Hanoi is also a great place - pool and otherwise.
Willing to try Hanoi, to be honest will do HCMC again at some point, just probably not solo. Don’t really enjoy being held up by two guys with knives and robbed… then knowing that going to the police will probably just cost me more money… experience put me off a little
Yeah the snooker and Chinese-8 scene is good thereIf i went to Bangkok pool would be the LAST thing on my agenda.
Thanks for sharing, I will look into both, as my uncle lives in London and I could possibly stay with him. Otherwise I live 5 or so hours away when I do end up getting back to nonsense island. Not the biggest fan of London either, but I can over look that hahaWe've got 11 Diamond Pro-Am and 7 Rasson Ox tables now in London (UK).
London Snooker - For the Diamonds
Spots & Stripes - For the Rassons
I've got love/hate relationship with London most days - and I'm a born and bred Londoner!
London is a bit miserable, scary and confusing for us country bumpkin hobbit types
glad to hear fully fledged Londoners sometimes share the same sentiments haha
I agree, going on a vacation with the 'sole' intention of visiting a particular pool hall is absurd. A vacation is supposed to be a vacation something we Americans take far few of. Like 'zar' says, if there happens to be one in your chosen vacation destination It would be okay to pop your head in but it certainly shouldn't be the sole purpose of your trip!
It isn't the sole purpose, but it is certainly something on my agenda. It's a good way to meet new people. I'm lucky enough to already live 8,000km from my home, and have been to lots of great destinations that I would never have dreamed of growing up. I'll go to many more I hope. But I am interested in finding some great places to play along the way.
I can understand your point, back in the 90's I found a great pool room in Rome Italy. But anyone visiting Rome would a lot more to see there other than a billiard club as it was called if my memory serves me correctly.
A lot more to see, eat and do for sure! As there will be in most places I imagine. Wish my Italian friends had plans to go home in the coming year so I could go and stuff my face full of delicious food. Alas, they are not going anywhere soon. Many of the places I suggested above are either en route to somewhere else, or have friends there.
Tbf, prior to Brecel having a decent year, I was unaware snooker was even a thing in Belgium. Sounds like a decent enough space. Certainly bigger than anything local to me in my hometown.
