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

Replies isobel Posted at 10:55 am on Jan. 11, 2009 MaryLin, since you speak Estonian and I don't, does the Tallinn University of Technology have a Political Science course?

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. smartlake Posted at 1:41 am on Jan. 9, 2009 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...

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. I like people like you.   Periwinkle Posted at 10:57 am on Jan. 6, 2009 Aside from what I've learned from seeing your posts, pretty much nothing. isobel Posted at 9:02 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Quote: from Jettie12 at 3:40 am on Jan. 6, 2009 Quote: from Isobel at 6:03 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Quote: from Jettie12 at 11:46 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 I smell a wikipedian.    I hope you're not talking about me.

If I think about it there's probably a few more things. maggie666 Posted at 2:33 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 oooo a lot because its near my country:) funny lenguage:) recently i have watched estonian film 'Class" and i must say thats is really good i like it MaryLin Posted at 1:58 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Quote: from Jettie12 at 11:15 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Offspring of Mother Russia?
