what's the main dish in estonia ?

I guess anything made out of potato. Boiled potatoes maybe, accompanied with some sauce and fresh salad.

I am Estonian, but I've never been there. How are the people there? Are they nice?

Really? Were you born in the states or here? Do you speak any Estonian? Wow.  
It just depends on a person. There are nice and not so nice people everywhere. I guess it also depends on the age - younger people generally tend to be very helpful and friendly while a bit older ones are more careful and reserved. But I'm nice. I think...


I was born in the states and I don't speak Estonian, but it seems very nice there.

I don't know which country was the longest, probably Russia (like 200 years), but there was also Sweden, Denmark (parts of Estonia), Poland (parts of Estonia) and Germany. Well, the Catholic church but it was Germans.

1. In case someone has a question about my country I'm happy to answer.

2. Yup, we always do.
I think we missed it once when the olympics took place in LA or something cus the country had no money to take the athletes there. It was before WW2 and all that, during the time of the first republic.
In fact, we have quite a few gold medal winners.

I don't know which country was the longest, probably Russia (218 years), but there was also Sweden, Denmark (parts of Estonia), Poland (parts of Estonia) and Germany. Well, the Catholic church but it was Germans.


I'm pretty sure Russia had it the longest.
And I don't think the Holy Roman Empire ever extended into Estonia. Or are you talking about the Teutonic Knights?

I'm talking about the knights who came here in 1208 to turn the pagans christian. We fought against them for 20 years or so. Guess who won.

If Estonia were a car, what Volkswagen model would it be?  How would you say Javier in Estonian?  The Onion's Atlas of the Planet Earth states that Estonia is a country "United in circular dancing," and that it "has been under foreign control for most of its history, due to the fact that its main form of defense is holding hands and singing."  Do you agree with this assessment?

That's mockery.

I was just curious, because in the U.S. we square dance.

Also, Javier in Estonian?  Because if I ever move there, I have to assimilate.
