Hello.

Im the new guy.

I curretly feel like being at the zoo, at the exotic species section. Staring at you from the wrong side of the glass.

You wonder why do I feel like that, when writing my 'Hi! I'm new!' post?

The answer is in font of your eyes. Hello from Estonia. Would be nice to have 'Estonia' under countries selection when you are creating your profile, I was forced to announce myself being in Finland. Smile

So. Hi there. You and your cotton candy.
Glad to be on board. I love the writers workshop Wink

When I was a littler kid, I got in this huge arguement with this kid up the street when he said how he was from Thailand. Just the name sounded ridiculous and made up to me, like they made neckties there or something. And I told him there was no such place as Thailand and that he probably meant Taiwan!

Turns out he was right, there really is a Thailand.

Haha, when I lived in France and after that in UK, i kindof got used to people not having a clue about Estonia and its whereabouts. it was quite fun to see them trying to be polite and acting as if they knew.

Estonia is where Pauly Shore and Sean Astin tell people Brendan Fraser is from in "Encino Man" to hide the fact that he's a caveman.

That's all I know about it.

Welcome!!

Europeans that don't know about Estonia? That's sad.

I had a girl from Estonia in my class once. She was very different from people here, and I thought it was cool. Smile

Welcome!

My best friend in high school was Latvian. Which is not the same, I realize, but it's kinda close.

Haha, love these litte facts of yours Wink

Note about Estonian soccer team: we did beat scotland once Smile Big other than that, nothing special there I'm afraid.

Regarding the Latvian comments: Latvia is quite different of Estonia. Different national backround, different roots and mainly different lingual family.

Besides Dr. Doom being Latvian, guess who else? The most notorious cannibal in fiction: Dr. Hannibal Lecter. His origins also go to Latvia Wink

Thanks alot for warm welcome everyone, means alot Smile

Imke:

about the flag. Here are the meanings of the colors:

blue: vaulted blue sky above the native land;
black: attachment to the soil of the homeland as well as the fate of Estonians - for centuries black with worries;
white: hard work, purity, commitment, and (most likely) white sails of ships

Actually you wouldnt piss anyone off, rather you'd make everyone laugh.

Borat, as known, is from Kazakhstan, which is located at central asia. Estonia at the other hand, is middle-europe.

Keeping that locational data in mind, you can assume that estonians get to speak english abit more than people in Kazakhstan.

Basicly everyone in last 2 generations speak quite fluent english. Earlier generations speak fluent russian and/or german, obviously a legacy from second WW.

Also, Estonia is known as one of the most innovative coutries in the world regarding IT technology, unknown to most of people, skype was invented in Estonia. Kazakhstan is known for steppes.

I suppose that should answer your question, my friend Wink

I've been to Estonia. Bought a guitar there.

It broke after two months.

Lovely place, though.
