1. Trains and busses are on time. Needs no explanation for anyone who ever took Deutsche Bahn. Estonian train tracks. Photo: Taaniel Malleus 2. Snow doesn’t mean that there are traffic problems.

They simply don’t hug out of convention or politeness, they only hug when they actually want to. 4. Food. Ok, I’m not talking about blood sausage and fish for breakfast here. I’m talking about seasonal, regional vegetables. I don’t have to double check if it’s organic – if it’s Estonian, I know it’s good. About going to the bogs and collect mushrooms and berries. Coll
