May 17, 201312 yr I don't know much about Estonia, apart from that is a Eurozone country, is growing, was for decades under the Soviet boot, and has close relations with the Scandinavians. Also dem wimmin. But yeah, Eurozone man. Very uncertain right now. Rain makes everything better.
May 17, 201312 yr Gentlemen! I'd like to us to forget our differences and come together over this as one community. Can we just agree that obyknven's posts are annoying and mental? Nope, not annoying or mental. Kind of funny, for the most part. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
May 17, 201312 yr ... I'd still like some good hints and tips on Estonia if anyone's interested. Where do Estonians see their country being in five years? Ten? They've recently joined the Euro, so the obvious answer is bankrupt or part of Germany. Realistically though, in the absence of responses from actual Estonians you'll get limited usefulness from this thread if you're seriously considering moving there as everyone's experiences with it (including mine; backpacked through about a decade ago, nice country to visit but I cannot entirely disagree with oby's description either) are more tourist orientated. It'd be like getting views from tourists to New Zealand, they can only really say that the dollar is high and Queenstown is nice, they probably won't know important residential things like that housing is massively overpriced (cheers, overseas speculators/ supine government papering over cracks) and economically everything except things that go moo is a bit dodgy.

You could also check expat forums, to see what experiences have been like for foreigners who have moved there. Something like http://www.expat-blog.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=280 Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

May 18, 201312 yr I asked my wife but she hasn't been in 11 years so she doesn't want to give you the bum scoop We used to have at least 2 people from there, I wonder where they went... Free games updated 3/4/21

I find Malcador's superciliousness vastly more annoying, tbh. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
