Estonia

Saturday, December 1st Doug left for Estonia

Estonia is a state in the Baltic region of Northern Europe.
It is bordered on the north by the Gulf of Finland; to the west by the Baltic Sea; to the south by Latvia and to the east by Lake Peipus and Russia. It's largest city is Tallinn (also the capital).

Notable companies with headquarters in Tallinn:
NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE)
Estonian Air has its headquarters in Tallinn.
Skype has its software development centre located in Tallinn.
Ericsson has one of its biggest production facilities in Europe located in Tallinn, focusing on the producing of 4G communication devices.
Statoil has announced moving the group's financial centre to Tallinn.
Doug's first night in Estonia, he sent me this photo of what was on the menu at the local restaurant he visited.  He opted for the salmon instead of the roasted chicken gizzards and crispy pigs ears.
