The Xenophobe's Guide to the Estonians by Hilary Bird
The roots of Ootame, vaatame Let's wait and see, are embedded in the deepest chasm of the Estonian psyche because, for a very long time, the people had little choice to do anything else. This philosophy is a close relation to the Spanish ma ana (tomorrow). The difference is that the languid Spanish are just deferring something. The pragmatic Estonians are not. They are waiting and seeing. A guide to understanding the Estonians which dispels or confirms preconceived prejudices with humor and insight.
Hilary Bird is of Estonian and Lithuanian parentage. After a long career in public service, a search for her roots led her to Estonia. She lives in Tartu and writes a regular column titled Bird Droppings. Ulvi Mustmaa works in the travel industry. In addition to some Christmas song lyrics, she is the author of Latvian Stories. Lembit �pik is a Member of Parliament. He is well known for his TV appearances on shows such as Question Time, Have I Got News For You, and I'm a Celebrity-Get Me Out of Here!. He is a public speaker, a qualified pilot, and an avid astronomer.
