Vello Vikerkaar for Baltic Reports
In Estonia, the best man for the job is a woman.
If you want to hire someone who’ll show up on time, take pride in his work, solve problems before they arise, then don’t hire him. Hire her.
The average young Estonian man has the grooming habits of a zombie. He appears mornings in the office having slept in his clothes. What was once a Caesar haircut has hardened to a protective crust. Dandruff carpets the shoulders of the dark suit he’s never bothered to dry clean. His once-black shoes are gray and caked with debris from last night’s party to celebrate the invention of the Zippo lighter.
Fashion-wise, he eschews a tie. Perhaps he sees himself as more the bank robber than the bank employee. Or perhaps he plans to join a British pop band. More likely, since he won’t change clothes for the next 72 hours, he must be suitably attired for all activity. Milk the cow in the morning; go to work; go clubbing. He’s a bit overdressed for the cow and a bit underdressed for the office, but neither party voices concern.

Does anyone kow any Estonia woman that is named Reeta ?
Vello sounds like he has the soul of a Swede.

Vello thinks he is onto a writer's paradigm now - a "knock Estonia and Estonian men" roll. Possibly even a money-making formula. In reality, this is passé. Estonian women - the bargain basement handsome darlings of the Playa del Sol and London - ragging on Estonian men to sooth their bad consciences is old hat. Estonian men are actually not bad catches. The other possibility of course is that Vello has gone feminist on us, and the third possibility is that he has begun wearing a pink shirt and hygienically demanding on us. In the latter case, don't huff and puff so much. Take the object of your affections home, wash him off and have your way with him.
