op seems like a total slu

This thread has made my exciting life seem even better.

No he doesnt or its one of the weirdest ways to show it.


I guess redundant was a wrong word (I mean laid off from a job -only you get few months salary as a compensation so its not like being fired).

I guess waxed would look better, but I have weird fear about hot wax on my skin.


I like private parties more for few reasons - usually you have something common with people there or they are just cool people (I mean otherwise my friend who invited me would not communicate with them), I dont need to shout over the music just to have a conversation and girls dont dress cheap (I mean okey you are a slut, just dont dress like one!). I just hate clubs.

Im have heard it before. Usually it ends up with guys suggesting I should be less honest about it - I dont get it at all. I just hate when people try to be better then they are and try to hide some things in their past - I will tell you as it is and Im not even trying to hide anything (take it or leave it) I dont want to be always thinking "Wait what lie did I tell or what I "forgot" to tell him". Im happy with having a clean closet (even if it means I look stupid and slutty). As for being a slut - everyone sets their own standards - for some its no pre-marrital sex, for some its no sex at all unless its to have kids and for some its not until a girl is on everyones speed dial just because they know they are guaranteed to get some from her - most of the time our standards are somewhere between them and if Im a slut according to your standards - well Im fine with that.

If I were to visit Estonia, what sightseeing/activities would you recommend?

I wrote my dissertation on post-soviet transition in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Bunch of nerd questions:

Are you in Tallinn or one of the smaller areas?

Do you remember 'Bronze Night' in 2007, how intense was it?

Do Estonians mix at all with the Russian minorities or is it still very segregated?

Is there a lot of animosity towards the decision to adopt the Euro given the recent downturn?

Did your parents take part in the Baltic Chain?

How is the Soviet era taught in school?

Do Estonians drink as heavily as Russians?

I would say Old Town in Tallin (I guess it takes at least a day)
Estonian Song Festival - its held every 5 years.
As for nature - we have swamps and forest and Tuhala Witch's well - I have no idea whos video this is. The well starts to "boil" in spring, because there are some underground rivers and melting snow somehow affects them and well you get the picture (wikipedia said that it can go up to 100 liters per second - I think its a bit much, but I have not seen it yet, maybe next year.).

I would say Sauna is one of our traditions, but I think that everyone has tried sauna (maybe smoke sauna would be something new to try).

There is also something about a ghost appearing in Haapsalus castle, but it will only appear in August (when its full moon and the moon needs specific position). Its a silhouette of a lady (the "ghost" is called White Lady) so many people go to watch it as it appears. Story goes like this - bla-bla-bla prohibited love bla-bla-bla the girl get bricked in ( I guess its not correct wording - in was practiced in medival times basically means that someone was put into a room and they built a wall so she/he would not get out). Legend says that she begged and cried for days until she finally died and from there on she appeared on the window on those full moon August nights. Some say it is more to do with moon making a specific shadow - seems to make more sense. In the end of a day - no one is really sure what is going on.
On the people who were "bricked in" they discovered some man (I mean skeleton) in Kuressaares castle but now I dont rememeber if they replaced it with model or do they have a real skeleton in there (I seem to remember that the skeleton was so old that it collapsed to dust when it was touched so there might be a real skeleton sitting on that chair). And there is a story about why he was "bricked in" I dont remember. And there is some place where they used to throw people to the lions (I dont think lions make much sense so maybe it was wolfs or very hungry dogs). I guess the last one might be a bit "standard" - I mean what bishop's castle would not have this kind of things.
And while you are camping in forest (and please take a GPS and fully loaded mobile and compass with you) you might find bunkers where men were living - to escape from military turning (and after) WW2.
Oh and TV tower in Tallinn.
There are a lot more - I find it a bit hard to say where someone should go, some want to see history, some want to see nature and some want to see "mystical" places and some just want to relax and shop (okey, I cant see anyone coming to Estonia for shopping, unless its for alcohol - at least our alcohol used to be cheap - talking about that try out "Vana Tallinn" liqueur).
There are a lot folklore and myths so before visiting (or while visiting) you should try to search more info about those attractions you want to visit - somehow for me it makes even a rock interesting when I know its been used for sacrifice. My parents own a forest and while I was there I saw that there were pile of rocks around trees ( I found it really weird so I asked why has someone put rocks like that - found out that few hundred years ago there was a battle and those rocks are actually warrior graves - needless to say that I could not stop staring at those rocks and I began to imagine that war that took place.

Im currently at a smaller area (however I grew up in Tallinn).

Yes I remember it, I was in Tallinn at that moment (I remember I said something about it and referred to it as "Aprils mass" - we use both terms). To be honest I dont even get how could it all happend - I mean no one really cared about that statue - it was there for years (young russians didnt care, estonians didnt care) and some old russians brought flower to it on 9 of April and so there was some estonian patriot (those extreme patriots never bring anything good to the society - they should be banned) who thought that the statue was degrading Estonia so our gov. thought "We should re-bury all of those bodies to the graveyard and also put the statue in the graveyard". So somehow everyone went crazy - Estonians who never before cared about that statue somehow totally started to think "It is so humiliating to have that statue" and russians all went "No, no - the graves should stay in the middle of a bus-stop". But I could still walk around without getting beat up just because Im estonian (I think I was only once in a position were there was a fight starting any moment and I once made the all bus argue about the statue). I think guys were more like "Hey, lets go fight with someone". Over-all I think it was more about people stealing then it was about people fighting (I mean why fight when you can use your energy to rob the liquor store). I never stole anything - just to make it clear. At next year some russians had a meeting on the anniversary of Bronze Night and some young russians went there and shout "Look what you have done, look what you made us look like!?" so no one is happy about that event and because of those events we cant buy alcohol from 10pm -10am (bars still sell it, but we cant buy it from the store).

Estonians do mix. Its not about the fact that someone is russian or someone is estonian - its more about learning the language (and I think if we give it a bit time it will resolved all by its own (I mean most young russians speak estonian and the next generation will speak even more etc), I think its a bit wrong to even have oher countries talking about it - its like throwing a petrol to the flame - I mean I know that people outside are a bit concerned and I guess you have the right to be, but letting international media go "Estonians act bad to their minority" will only make russians feel "Yes, yes they do! We need to fight back!" and before we know it we will have Bronze Night on a replay button. Dealing with russians its all about giving them time and peace. The other thing is that if you go to east you will find that almost no one speaks estonian (everyday life is all in russian), on the west side of estonia there arent many russians and those that are - well they are more estonians then russians (so everyday life is all in estonian) our gov. came up with a program where russians that live on the east-side can send their kids to estonians that live on a west-side (for a summer - or for a month). That way kids on the east-side that dont have access to estonian will learn estonian (I mean when no one speak russian you will eventually learn estonian.

At first there was because some estonians felt that getting Euro will destroy one of the symbols of our country and then it got worse because prices rised (and I would say there was over 10% rise on food and stuff like that). But now its seems that most of us have the "money is money" thinking.

No my parents didnt (so they say).

I think its taught like everything else (year and event and what lead to that event). The only difference is that we hear more stories about it, its not in a official program, but sometime teachers tell stories about how was live back then. My literature teacher likes to tell how people had prohibited books that they were hiding. My social studies teacher likes to tell how unbelievably stupied thing they had in the "plans" etc. But not all stories are bad - you always had a job for example. Those stories are more like "How thing were back then, not how bad it was or how good it was". They dont teach us that communism is bad and capitalism s good - they give + and - side of them both and let you choose.

Yes I guess we drink just as much (I mean we are on a second place in Europe with our alcohol consumption and we usually have silly jokes like "This New Years Eve Im going to drink twice as much, because at least one of us has to make sure we get to the first place" and " You dont drink much? So you are the reason why we are on second place, not first" our "No to alcohol" society was going crazy "we need to label every product that has even a bit of alcohol in it" - most of us were like "Great now we wont even get to buy kefir after 10pm".

Do you enjoy talking about yourself?

Can i request a new pic with a sign saying "2+2 Inxu" to confirm ?

Mostly b/c of this.

Yes and no. I hate when I need to talk about myself without any leading questions, but I like to sometimes add some examples (to the story) about what happend to me (I really think it gives story more flavor, rather then going with dry facts).

Sounds fair - maybe I will get it by monday.

Found OP's FB. Confirmed real and not a scammer.
