Estonia.


My homeland. I live in Tallinn, the capital and the biggest city (~522 thousand people). It's lovely with an old town (800 years old) and a town center with lot of shops and modern buildings. I live in Kalamaja. Kalamaja was a very deserted and ugly place when I first came to live here, but now it has beautifully reconstructed old houses. It' s not a very turisty place, because the neighbourhoods in which it sits between, aren't very friendly. I am a "homie" so it's okay for me. :D
Estonia has about 1,4 million people and lots of forrest. The wildlife is as beautiful as the city is. The temperatures are about (Winter) -5 to (Summer) 17 degrees, but in the last summers it has been rather 20-30 degrees. Last winter wasn't very snowy. It was dirty and wet.
