Justinil on oma blog, kunagi juhuslikult avastasin, keegi linkis FBs ja ma panin tolle omale kohe readerisse. No hea lugemine on, kuigi poliitika osa mind alati ei huvita aga tähelepanekud kohalike eluolust on nauditav lektrüür. Tänane post pole erandiks. Ta on silma ümbruskonna märkamiseks ja ta oskab seda mõnusalt vahendada. Stiilinäide järgneb peale inglisekeelset osa.

Justin, the author of Minu Eesti / My Estonia has a blog where he writes about our native people, life in Estonia, about politicans etc. He has a good sense of humor and there is always something which makes me laugh. Don´t know how it looks like for those people who live abroad and who are not estonians but for me it´s good reading.
Just an example:
Like a naive anthropologist I observed the tanned locals at the beach. I took note of the different types: the blond Scandinavians, the dark Inuits, the rolypoly Germanics. Estonia is both diverse and uniform. I've been to too many genetics conferences these days. I am aware of the perils of cosanguinity. And safe as milk Eesti is not so intimidating. Horror stories about intolerant Estonians abound online, but not one gave me nor has ever given me an awkward look. These people just don't care.
For me, at least, there are very few places in Estonia where I could even minorly feel "in danger," and here I think of a young Tom Hayden and the other "freedom riders" of the United States, traveling to Mississippi in the early 1960s to "get their asses kicked for civil rights." That was dangerous. Estonia in comparison is pleasant, genteel. At least until you see some middle-aged loser wearing a Panzerdivision commemorative t-shirt at the supermarket. I've heard the term "self-hating Jew" before. I gather such people are self-hating Estonians.
