Estonia: Careers in Estonia:

Hi Chris, Although I'm not in the same line as you, I'm an antique restorer, I too was interested in making contacts when I first moved over here May '08. My wife is Estonian and I'm English but have spent most of my life in Cyprus, so was not sure where to start. I have found that the intertnet is used to such a degree in Estonia that, if you know how to look for things in Estonian, you can find most information you are looking for. Another good avenue for you to check is the estonian chamber of commerce, they have a lot of business infrormation for people wanting to start in Estonia but it might be a good idea to check the Finnish chamber of commerce too. Hope this helps JP

Estonia: Moving To Tallinn:

Hi, I'm also british and moved here last May with my Estonian wife and our son, who is now 14 months old. I have had a bit of culture shock but I havent lived in the UK much as I have lived most of my life in Cyprus. I have found the people I have met to be friendly and helpfull. Yes it is safe but still remember that it is a city and things can happen wherever you are. As to the schools, its like anywhere you have to pick and choose to find the right one. I have managed to pick up quite a bit of the language and as my inlaws speak no english it is good practice for me. Get your husband to look in to the child benefit situation because for the first 18 months of your childs life you can receive at least 2000eek per month. That really helps during the time you are finding work. Hope this has helped somewhat. If you have any other questions send me a mail.
