VIDEOS. Estonia. — Estonia is not a well known country.
This video might give you a sense of the creative spirit of this Baltic nation, across the gulf from Finland.
With its neighbour Latvia it once formed part of the powerful Soviet Union. Estonians are not Russians per se, and there are some tensions. Estonia still wears some of the scars of former communist countries.
But Estonia has a distinct identity. A sense of which is visible in the preceding video.
Technology focus.
Tallinn is a grand old city, capital of Estonia.
Tallinn also is famous for its free wireless. In fact Tallinn, and Estonia, used to supply computer programmers in the days of the USSR.
Skype was created in Estonia. And Tallinn could have high innovative potential in the technology space, as well as its tourist-supported beauty.
