Lol, for all who don`t know what that is, let me explain - Estonia is a very small country in Europe, and the most northern of The Baltic States. Lol, The Baltic States is a union of 3 countries - Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
Hehe, I´m just curious to know if anyone knows anything about this small, small country, my country [img]smile.gif[/img] . I be damn suprised if you could name a city in Estonia, like Alexander once did, without searching on the net [img]smile.gif[/img] . |

I know that Estonians get quite annoyed when you even dare to mention Russia... And that's a first hand experience.

To be honest the only city of heard mention of in Estonia is Tallinn ( I think that's how you spell it) because it was on the news.

Haha, sure I know some things about Estonia. I know where it is, some history, etc. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I know how you feel though. I come from Slovenia and people keep confusing my country with Slovakia and Slavonia. Even the people who you'd think should know these things (like foreign politicians meeting our politicians, and in newspapers). Here is the latest example: http://www.reuters.com/news_article....toryID=1190675 I used to get upset because of it, but now I just think it's funny.

Did you know that Estonians used to have a god called Tarapita and Taara? He was something similar to the Viking gods [img]smile.gif[/img] . |
