As for the experience, downs:
- Cold+wind.. Not as cold as Reykjavik or as windy as Helsinki, but when these get together in Estonia, it's the worst.
- I definetely miss socializing, especially when compared to countries like Spain or UK. Less interaction makes a less pleasant day and even less pleasant hospital experience.
- As Estonian's doesn't socialize or talk much, it's much harder to learn the language by practicing-living here
- Many brands or services not here. Estonia is usually one of the last countries in EU to receive some brands or services. Ie Apple products, official Apple store, HBO+.
- Also not many options for global companies to work
- Travel options are limited. Flights are longer, more expensive and less frequent.
- Maybe few other things that I cannot remember atm
Everything else is either good, great or amazing, but mainly: - Digital mindset and almost non-existent bureaucracy. Both gov and private e-services very fast, transparent, digital, accessible. So far, I've done many I've applied for a bank account, multiple university applications and admissions, residency permit and driving licenses renewals, employment and rental contracts etc.
- Nature and silence, even in the middle of the city.
- Trust in the government, police and legal system
