Thank you, We really enjoyed the tour of Estonia. You are really the best guides. We now want to experience this beautiful Country ourselves. Really looking forward to your Adventure. Joyce and Nick
Really nice one, mate! I love Estonia! Been there several times and explored some places outside Tallinn as well. Been to Pärnu and Kihnu Island so far. What an amazing country!
I never thought Estonia was so beautiful, thank you for sharing the information. I love to visit museums, I would have to see the castle museum and the local museums of the towns. Thank you again!
I recommend visiting during the summer, especially the smaller towns and the countryside. The weather is so much better and it's also a lot prettier. And it really doesn't get that busy either, apart from the most touristy places in Tallinn.
My husband and I just found memory seekers.We are astounded!You guys are fantastic!Bringing the world to others with such light and joy!Thank you so much you are really making a difference in other people’s lives.God bless
Ooooops! Late getting to this post, brilliant as always learnt a lot about a country l would never think to visit, there is so much to see. The Olde Hansa Medieval Restaurant and food looks like an experience not to miss. The man standing in the cold water fishing l thought was very brave, l hope he caught something. 🦘🐨🦘🐨😷🐟
An absolutely fabulous video. Gorgeous photography, lovely music that enhances the footage and isn't over-loud. Interesting and useful narrative delivered in a pleasant voice, with welcome pauses for reflection upon the sights. Beautifully done!
Thank you for this introduction to Estonia. The places you have shown are very beautiful. The landscape and shorelines of the countryside look very similar to what you might see here in Manitoba Canada where I live. Estonia’s architecture is wonderful, as well as everything looking crisp, fresh and colourful. I also noticed how clean (litter free) it appears to be. The spa where you ate looked amazing as well all the different foods you took pictures of. Made me hungry. It would be interesting to see how it looks in the summer. It seems you both enjoyed your winter travels. Take care Simon and Will. Appreciate the video ❤
It looks like a lovely place to visit. Summer must be busy there with so many places to visit. Thanks again for taking us with you. Greetings from Florida USA ❤️
The old Teutonic Knights and Hanseatic areas of the Baltic (even after many devastating war episodes) still host a great many beautiful sights. Estonia has some of the very best of them though their tourism will no doubt be hit badly by recent events. Intriguing juxtaposition to contrast the view of Tallin in winter to our high summer visit a good few years ago guided by a local university lecturer with Masters in English Lit. et al - and possibly the most beautiful and stylish woman I've ever met. 😉
We must have similar travel tastes since your videos seem to always highlight the sights and places I would like to visit and experience. Thanks so much.
As an estonian i must thak you, not many people travel out of Tallinn but its worth mentioning that our oublic transport is so good you dont even need a car;) and in the vid you saw old trams, come visit and take a look at the new ones!!!
Thank you for the comment, so glad you liked the video. We had such a good time, and we did try the new trams to get to the airport! I kinda like the old ones! 😊
As an Finnish tourist, i agree. Tallin is great for couple of days. But i love the whole country. I usually take my RV and go around the country. Last summer i made very different trip, and travelled with my 6 year old in a 4x4 Offroad vehicle, and i found unbelievably beautiful places :) Rummu Quarry and Padise Monastery, Dirham very lonely beach, Michelin star restaurant in Võsu, Beautiful quiet RMK beach in Matsi (and dozens other RMK beaches), White cliffs of Panga (and the white, dusty gravel roads to it), Sõrve lighthouse, Pärnu beach (i love the Kolhethi Georgian restaurant, one of the worlds best ones), Kadrina apartmentbuildings (Khrushchevkas)! Viljandi hills and forests. I prefer Jägala juga over Keila :) Semi unknown for outsiders Valma adventure park for kids. ... man, i could go on and on. AAAAND Pöltsamaa Kange mustard. Hardest Chilihead will shed some tears with it.
I would also mentione other places to visit in Estonia: city of Pärnu, Viru bog, Endla bog, lake Peipsi in summer time; city of Hapsalu, city of Narva, Estonian National Museum in Tartu, Rakvere castle, Keila joa waterfall
Very interesting and educational, and also a lovely change from the English countryside. This video was so much better than the tourist shows that I used to see on the TV. No glammed up images and lush music! Just simple and concise touring and honesty as well. Thank you yet again for your excellent work 👏

Respect for visiting the more unknown parts of my country. Consider visiting Pärnu, which you went past from, or Narva at the very east, if you ever do end up here again!
I use to think Estonia wasn't a real place, as the first time I heard it was in the movie "Encino Man" where the teens told their parents the caveman was from, lol! Turns out it is a beautiful and charming place, that I so enjoyed seeing through your eyes. Thank you so much for sharing this visit with us, I look forward to seeing it in all it's greenery down the line. Cheers!
Yes! Encino man(1992) with Brendan Fraser, right? *** I once saw a movie with Steven Seagal(big friend of Vladimir Putin), where he says to another man something like this: "The most dangerous terrorists are Estonians!"... *** But yes, in real life, Estonia is a wonderful country, definitely worth visiting!

Thank you, it's a lovely video! I just wish you had visited in the summer. Tallinn is okay to visit all year round, though probably best aroud Christmas and then between late spring and early autumn. But unless you're lucky to be around when there's lots of snow and it is very cold and crisp (which can be magical), winters in Estonia tend to be gray, and the rest of the country is so much prettier and lovelier to visit between late May and late August. Also, apart from Tallinn, it really doesn''t get that busy as you're suggesting. Viljandi, the town I grew up in, is very quiet even in the height of summer - a real bliss - apart from the one weekend when the folk music festival is on. And even then it's nice. But I really appreciate you touring the country and showing that there's more to Estonia than just Tallinn. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback. We had wanted to go to Estonia for a long time, and this was the first time in a number of years a trip worked out with flights etc even if it was in February. Whilst it was quiet in parts and lots closed up for winter, we enjoyed it very much and were lucky with the weather most of the time. A great taste and left us wanting to come back in the summer. It is nice to hear Viljandi does not get as busy as we thought it might. Thanks for watching.
@@MemorySeekers Thank you for your reply! I sorry if I appeared to be critical, that definitely wasn't the aim. I just wanted to inform anyone watching this that Estonia can be prettier and not as gray at other times in the year. But I absolutely understand that with your busy schedule finding the time can be tricky, and with the lack of airlines flying there and a shortage of good accommodation available in smaller towns, winter trips can end up being quite a bit cheaper compared to the summer. Still worth visiting in the summer I think but planning/booking ahead is definitely recommended. Anyway, the most important thing is that you had a good time and enjoyed yourselves. All the very best in your future travels!
@@steadyeddie2718 Oh we did not find it critical, no worries there. We love to get different perspectives and it's helpful for others. You are right it is not easy to get flights to work from the UK. We will be back one day for sure. Thanks for the comments!
This weekend we are back in the U.K. but we managed to travel a bit more abroad last year and have a number of foreign trip videos to intertwine into our other U.K. videos over the coming months. 😀
Great show as always. I love the winter ones, everything always looks so pretty, although I guess if you have to live in the snow its a different story. 😉 cheers Cheryl
Happy New Year and Thank You guys!! This was a terrific idea. No one ever thinks of the Baltic countries as a less expensive less crowded vacation spot. It has so much history. I hope you return in the Summer to explore more of the country especially the areas that are closed during the winter months. I'm curious to know how crowded it gets. Cheers from NYC!!!
Happy New Year! So glad you liked it. Tallinn has lots of cruise ships in the warmer months and that I believe can make the city very crowded from what I have read. The island is also popular in summer.
Less expensive, probably. Cheap, not so much :D Tallinn in particular, but Estonia as a whole these days is largely on par with the rest of Europe when it comes to the cost of hotels, eating out, bars and the like. Luckily, the level of quality is basically the same as well. It wasn't always the case, but then neither, for a long time, was it anywhere near as expensive, either.
@@MemorySeekers Saaremaa is very popular in summer primarily among 'locals', which is to say Estonians and Finns. It's best avoided at midsummer, when about half the country seems to try to get there every year, leading to huge waiting times for ferries and much higher costs for accommodation. Outside that peak period, however, getting and staying there is cheaper and relatively hassle-free.
What a fantastic beauty 👏 amazing views & excellent introduction to one unknown of Estonia 🇪🇪like me, but right now i feel familiar with its charm, all because of your wonderful video.. I must appreciate your efforts in visuals perfection & extraordinary explanation 👌.. great video 📹❤👏
Very lovely. Looks so cold. Hope one day you do go back in the summer and give us a look. Great job as usual. I enjoyed very much. Hugs and blessings. Cloudy and cold in NETx. I think I am over winter. Lol but not ready for Tx heat either. Can’t please some people.
Спасибо за очень интересную, и содержательную прогулку - путешествие. Была в Таллинне в1980 году, было очень 👏✊👍. Город подготовили к Олимпиаде, обновили и покрасили крыши домов, благоустроили скверы, было очень много туристов и конечно же, сувениров. Спасибо 🙏💕автору, что снова взяли с собой на экскурсию в эту удивительную по красоте и скромности страну.
Thank you for a very lovely video guys! It did give me an insight about Estonia. Loved every minute of it from the views to the cobbled streets to the cathderal and the lovely park. Everything was done just beautifully. Dinner at Hansa was really nice, such an experience to have! Btw it did give me ASMR feels as well. Looking forward to the next one guys❤
@@MemorySeekers Thanks, I can’t wait! Travel is food for the soul in my book! Look forward to more of your videos. I especially love the fact that you guys go to great places that are the stock standard sun sand and surf summer beach destinations, as I love cold weather and always travel to places in their autumn and winter! Love it! Happy travels, Marg
The old towns there are wonderful, and full of beautiful architectural detail. Reminds me of Austria. I adore very, very old buildings turned into restaurants. Ambience galore. Thank you for sharing a variety of locations, so we can understand more about the country. I feel very cold after watching, lol. Here in So CAL we freak out if there is a bit of frost on the lawn at 5am in the winter. :) I noticed a number of signs and store names in English. Do shop-owners, waitstaff, etc. in the business areas seem to speak English?
In Tallinn, english is well spoken and on the Island as well, but in the smaller towns we visited it was harder to communicate and menus are in local language. Still you find a way to communicate!

Hello, one correction, the Olympic sailing regatta did not take place in the Tallinn City Hall as you indicated, but in the Pirita, Pirita Olympic Sailing Center, approximately 4 kilometers from the City Hall as a bird's eye view
Great! Two quibbles. Like many Estonian words, Viljandi is pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable. BTW, it is my mother's home town. In Tartu. the section of the cathedral that the museum uses was actually built back up in the 19th century. Previously, it had been a ruin, like the other half. The area around the cathedral is now a park and is lovely in the summer time. But it was once Tartu's old town, and looked very much like Tallinn old town. None of that remains. Peter the Great totally destroyed this (blew it up) during the Great Northern War in the early 18th century. He also had the university closed and it remained closed for around 100 years. Indeed, after a siege, the city of Tartu was pretty much wiped out by Russians in the Great Northern War. The great Peter did not want a city there as it might compete with his spanking new St. Petersburg. The top of the hill around the ruined cathedral was made into a park in the 19th century. It also is home to one of the most historic observatories in Europe.
I remember when american series called Monk did an episode about mentioning estonia , I think it was that episode where he snacked and one breadcrumb between the keyboard deleted some information off the computer, practically all case files.
In my opinion it’s time to let Estonia be a nice small Nordic country. Estonia very deserves to be a Nordic country, because Estonia has done a lot of work, we have many smart people, we are good at digital things, we have northern lights and we are very similar to Finland and other Nordic countries like: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland. We are not similar to Latvia and Lithuania and the other Eastern Europe countries. It’s time to stop calling Estonia Eastern Europe country and Baltic country and forget all this terrible, rude and mean Soviet times. Let’s just stop this Eastern Europe and Soviet stigma thing and let Estonia turn the new page and let them be a normal small Nordic country next to Sweden and Finland!!! Estonians call themselves the Nordic country and many other people and tourists had also said that Estonia should be a Nordic country, because Estonian people are Finnic people not Balts and we are more similar to Scandinavia. Yes many people had agreed with that Estonia must belong to the Nordic group and seperate from Latvia and Lithuania. They don’t even need these countries, because Estonians communicate more with Finns and other Scandinavian countries. Estonia will be a very good partner for the other Nordic countries. We will do a very great work and we will be very strong!!! ☺️🙏

Nice country , but we're are all the people..and not many car's... distinct lack of support for Ukraine I noticed...not surprisingly being formally a part of Russia!!.💕🇬🇧🇺🇦
If you read the news then you should know that per population Estonia is spending far more than any nation in the world on supporting Ukraine. And that's not just the governement, a huge amount is done by volunteers. Support isn't just about waving the flags shouting on the streets, it's about doing something real. The Russia comments is actually very offensive to most Estonians who consider Russia as the enemy, who are very much west-leaning and as I said, do much more than most to support those who Russia oppresses. As to the country looking empty, when the weather is cold and skies are gray Estonians tend to stay indoors. It's different when the sun comes out. That said, it's also one of the most sparsely populated countries in Europe so you'll struggle to ever feel crowded there, even in the summer.
You are actually talking nonsense. Did you not notice the Ukrainian flags at 23:40 and 27:21? Estonians are the biggest supporters of Ukraine in the World. Which is *not* *surprising* *being* *formerly* *a* *part* *of* *Russia.*
We hope you enjoyed tour around some of Estonia, inspiring you to consider visiting yourself!

This was worth waiting for. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, it's a lovely video! I just wish you had visited in the summer. Tallinn is okay to visit all year round, though probably best aroud Christmas and then between late spring and early autumn. But unless you're lucky to be around when there's lots of snow and it is very cold and crisp (which can be magical), winters in Estonia tend to be gray, and the rest of the country is so much prettier and lovelier to visit between late May and late August.
Also, apart from Tallinn, it really doesn''t get that busy as you're suggesting. Viljandi, the town I grew up in, is very quiet even in the height of summer - a real bliss - apart from the one weekend when the folk music festival is on. And even then it's nice.
But I really appreciate you touring the country and showing that there's more to Estonia than just Tallinn. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback. We had wanted to go to Estonia for a long time, and this was the first time in a number of years a trip worked out with flights etc even if it was in February. Whilst it was quiet in parts and lots closed up for winter, we enjoyed it very much and were lucky with the weather most of the time. A great taste and left us wanting to come back in the summer. It is nice to hear Viljandi does not get as busy as we thought it might. Thanks for watching.
@@MemorySeekers Thank you for your reply! I sorry if I appeared to be critical, that definitely wasn't the aim. I just wanted to inform anyone watching this that Estonia can be prettier and not as gray at other times in the year. But I absolutely understand that with your busy schedule finding the time can be tricky, and with the lack of airlines flying there and a shortage of good accommodation available in smaller towns, winter trips can end up being quite a bit cheaper compared to the summer. Still worth visiting in the summer I think but planning/booking ahead is definitely recommended.
Anyway, the most important thing is that you had a good time and enjoyed yourselves.
All the very best in your future travels!
@@steadyeddie2718 Oh we did not find it critical, no worries there. We love to get different perspectives and it's helpful for others. You are right it is not easy to get flights to work from the UK. We will be back one day for sure. Thanks for the comments!
What a lovely historic town. Thanks for showing us a part of Estonia. I've heard of it, but wasn't sure where it was located.
See you,Marsha,in Tallinn!
This was magnificent. A dream vacation to be sure. I can’t wait to see where you go next.
This weekend we are back in the U.K. but we managed to travel a bit more abroad last year and have a number of foreign trip videos to intertwine into our other U.K. videos over the coming months. 😀
A lovely video as always chaps - and I agree, Tallinn is a great city 👍
It really is!
Great show as always. I love the winter ones, everything always looks so pretty, although I guess if you have to live in the snow its a different story. 😉 cheers Cheryl
So true! Haha we love the snow as well.
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for this adventure through some of Estonia. Gorgeous camera work!
Thank you very much!
Happy New Year and Thank You guys!! This was a terrific idea. No one ever thinks of the Baltic countries as a less expensive less crowded vacation spot. It has so much history. I hope you return in the Summer to explore more of the country especially the areas that are closed during the winter months. I'm curious to know how crowded it gets. Cheers from NYC!!!
Happy New Year! So glad you liked it. Tallinn has lots of cruise ships in the warmer months and that I believe can make the city very crowded from what I have read. The island is also popular in summer.
Less expensive, probably. Cheap, not so much :D Tallinn in particular, but Estonia as a whole these days is largely on par with the rest of Europe when it comes to the cost of hotels, eating out, bars and the like. Luckily, the level of quality is basically the same as well. It wasn't always the case, but then neither, for a long time, was it anywhere near as expensive, either.
@@MemorySeekers Saaremaa is very popular in summer primarily among 'locals', which is to say Estonians and Finns. It's best avoided at midsummer, when about half the country seems to try to get there every year, leading to huge waiting times for ferries and much higher costs for accommodation. Outside that peak period, however, getting and staying there is cheaper and relatively hassle-free.
Your videos are always great & learning about the places. Hi from upstate New York.
Ah thank you so glad you think so. Hello from London!
You should definitely explore Southern Estonia in the depth of summer. It has its own magic😊 Võrumaa, Otepää, lake Pühajärv etc.
We would love to do a summer trip sometime. Thanks for the tips.
What a fantastic beauty 👏 amazing views & excellent introduction to one unknown of Estonia 🇪🇪like me, but right now i feel familiar with its charm, all because of your wonderful video.. I must appreciate your efforts in visuals perfection & extraordinary explanation 👌.. great video 📹❤👏
Thank you very much!
Very lovely. Looks so cold. Hope one day you do go back in the summer and give us a look. Great job as usual. I enjoyed very much. Hugs and blessings. Cloudy and cold in NETx. I think I am over winter. Lol but not ready for Tx heat either. Can’t please some people.
One extreme to the other I am sure neither are that pleasant. Still the inbetween is coming ! 😊
Спасибо за очень интересную, и содержательную прогулку - путешествие. Была в Таллинне в1980 году, было очень 👏✊👍. Город подготовили к Олимпиаде, обновили и покрасили крыши домов, благоустроили скверы, было очень много туристов и конечно же, сувениров. Спасибо 🙏💕автору, что снова взяли с собой на экскурсию в эту удивительную по красоте и скромности страну.
Спасибо, что поделились своим опытом в Эстонии, это было очень интересно. Какое время быть там. Рад что вам понравилось.
Beautiful video 😍
Thanks 🤗
You're welcome 😉

Thank you 😊
Thank you for a very lovely video guys! It did give me an insight about Estonia. Loved every minute of it from the views to the cobbled streets to the cathderal and the lovely park. Everything was done just beautifully. Dinner at Hansa was really nice, such an experience to have!
Btw it did give me ASMR feels as well. Looking forward to the next one guys❤
Hi Linda, thank you for sharing your thoughts. So pleased you enjoyed it so much. Its a very underrated country. 😊
wow, professional travel~ farewell!Memoryseekers,🤘
Thanks a lot!
Thank you very much 👏👏👏 its a lovely Video ❤
Estland 👍Danke!
Yep, the Snow Leopards go back East today! 😉 😱
Lovely!
Thank you
Looks like you had stunning weather, lucky you. I’m heading there this September so I hope I am as lucky! Cheers from Australia
Well it certainly will be warmer! Have fun.
@@MemorySeekers Thanks, I can’t wait! Travel is food for the soul in my book! Look forward to more of your videos. I especially love the fact that you guys go to great places that are the stock standard sun sand and surf summer beach destinations, as I love cold weather and always travel to places in their autumn and winter! Love it! Happy travels,
Marg
Well done.
Thanks!
The old towns there are wonderful, and full of beautiful architectural detail. Reminds me of Austria. I adore very, very old buildings turned into restaurants. Ambience galore. Thank you for sharing a variety of locations, so we can understand more about the country. I feel very cold after watching, lol. Here in So CAL we freak out if there is a bit of frost on the lawn at 5am in the winter. :) I noticed a number of signs and store names in English. Do shop-owners, waitstaff, etc. in the business areas seem to speak English?
In Tallinn, english is well spoken and on the Island as well, but in the smaller towns we visited it was harder to communicate and menus are in local language. Still you find a way to communicate!
Now from Sweden ineed to move there estland nice so Beutiful 😮❤

you should visit in the summer!!! ☺...to be honest it's beautiful any time of the year:)
We will one day, loved it in winter.
at 20:15 somebody hit the thin ice with a stick or rock, and it makes that exact sound, not the birds following the sound.
Interesting channel! New subscriber here! 🙂👍
Welcome aboard!
Hello, one correction, the Olympic sailing regatta did not take place in the Tallinn City Hall as you indicated, but in the Pirita, Pirita Olympic Sailing Center, approximately 4 kilometers from the City Hall as a bird's eye view
Oh thank you for this, I was convinced I had read it was there. That is why we walked to it!

@@MemorySeekers But what happened in City Hall - was Christopher Nolan filming Tenet.
Мой любимый родной Таллин 😍👌благодарю 💖
Спасибо за просмотр.
Should visit Vosu in summer, so packed you cant find a place to park
Great! Two quibbles. Like many Estonian words, Viljandi is pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable. BTW, it is my mother's home town. In Tartu. the section of the cathedral that the museum uses was actually built back up in the 19th century. Previously, it had been a ruin, like the other half. The area around the cathedral is now a park and is lovely in the summer time. But it was once Tartu's old town, and looked very much like Tallinn old town. None of that remains. Peter the Great totally destroyed this (blew it up) during the Great Northern War in the early 18th century. He also had the university closed and it remained closed for around 100 years. Indeed, after a siege, the city of Tartu was pretty much wiped out by Russians in the Great Northern War. The great Peter did not want a city there as it might compete with his spanking new St. Petersburg. The top of the hill around the ruined cathedral was made into a park in the 19th century. It also is home to one of the most historic observatories in Europe.
Quibbles are fine 😀thank you for the information very interesting. 😊
I remember when american series called Monk did an episode about mentioning estonia , I think it was that episode where he snacked and one breadcrumb between the keyboard deleted some information off the computer, practically all case files.
Thank you very much for an interesting video.👏❤️ Why are there no Polish subtitles?
I just checked and we do have them?
In my opinion it’s time to let Estonia be a nice small Nordic country. Estonia very deserves to be a Nordic country, because Estonia has done a lot of work, we have many smart people, we are good at digital things, we have northern lights and we are very similar to Finland and other Nordic countries like: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland. We are not similar to Latvia and Lithuania and the other Eastern Europe countries. It’s time to stop calling Estonia Eastern Europe country and Baltic country and forget all this terrible, rude and mean Soviet times. Let’s just stop this Eastern Europe and Soviet stigma thing and let Estonia turn the new page and let them be a normal small Nordic country next to Sweden and Finland!!! Estonians call themselves the Nordic country and many other people and tourists had also said that Estonia should be a Nordic country, because Estonian people are Finnic people not Balts and we are more similar to Scandinavia. Yes many people had agreed with that Estonia must belong to the Nordic group and seperate from Latvia and Lithuania. They don’t even need these countries, because Estonians communicate more with Finns and other Scandinavian countries. Estonia will be a very good partner for the other Nordic countries. We will do a very great work and we will be very strong!!! ☺️🙏
My friend is from there and her father is a pastor in church ⛪️
Interesting thing about the amber is, that almost none of it is found on the shores of Estonia, but further south in the other baltic countires
A very well made video. I just wish all of the russian parts werent a part of it.

Filming isn't allowed inside Orthodox churches? That may be true of the Orthodox churches in this video, but it's certainly not true of all Orthodox churches. You can find tons of videos of Orthodox services here on TH-cam.

Жила у бабушки в Пярну периодически в шестидесяти годы 20 века. Прекрасный чистый город, особняки с туями вдоль заборов стояли по дороге к морю. Впервые там увидела казино!.. Русские, "завоевал" Эстонию, как вы рассказываете, помогали развитию этой маленькой страны и сохранению её исторического наследия. Я этому свидетель!

Nice country , but we're are all the people..and not many car's... distinct lack of support for Ukraine I noticed...not surprisingly being formally a part of Russia!!.💕🇬🇧🇺🇦
This is Spring 2021 footage, based on some posters in the video. Local people are at work and there were less tourists due to C19.
This was late feb 22 but still less tourists around.
Plenty of support for Ukraine.
If you read the news then you should know that per population Estonia is spending far more than any nation in the world on supporting Ukraine. And that's not just the governement, a huge amount is done by volunteers. Support isn't just about waving the flags shouting on the streets, it's about doing something real.
The Russia comments is actually very offensive to most Estonians who consider Russia as the enemy, who are very much west-leaning and as I said, do much more than most to support those who Russia oppresses.
As to the country looking empty, when the weather is cold and skies are gray Estonians tend to stay indoors. It's different when the sun comes out. That said, it's also one of the most sparsely populated countries in Europe so you'll struggle to ever feel crowded there, even in the summer.
You are actually talking nonsense. Did you not notice the Ukrainian flags at 23:40 and 27:21? Estonians are the biggest supporters of Ukraine in the World. Which is *not* *surprising* *being* *formerly* *a* *part* *of* *Russia.*
Я здесь родился был эстонский город, а теперь украинский.
Your comment is loaded with bovine excrement.
City so small,in China it will be qualify as a village not a city
