Yellow, best not be mellow, the Red band can go to hell man,
And White, continue to do what's always right.

Of course not, that would be awkward.

I'm doing an essay so I'm asking you, LW: What do you know about Estonia?

Edit: yes yes go on, those are the exact answers I want. I want to give examples of what foreigners know about my country.

Without running off to Google, I know the language is Finno-Ugric, that it was once a part of the Russian Empire, I believe it was occupied by Germany during WWI and it's petite (not that that's its fault, of course) and a stone's throw away from Scandinavia.

Aside from what I've learned from seeing your posts, pretty much nothing.

Isn't it near the Bay of Bothnia?  I remember that because I thought the word 'Bothnia' sounded really dark and twisted (not saying that Estonia is though, of course).  Maybe I am completely wrong too...

Um it's up north from here, between Sweden and Finland just where the land borders meet. So ya, sort of.

MaryLin, since you speak Estonian and I don't, does the Tallinn University of Technology have a Political Science course?
