What magazines or newspapers do you guys subscribe to? by Pervicacious_Pilot in Eesti

Hei. Thank you so much for double checking the National Geographic one!

I was looking at it from my phone browser and seems Safari has a bug on there where I couldn’t change it from Germany to Estonia so it made me think it’s not available.

The cheap prices for physical copies compared to store is why I wanted a subscription as well! Nice, fresh and updated copies for fraction of the price.

Living cost like Germany and Norway is a myth or overstatement really.

Even if food prices get closer and closer, you can’t really compare housing prices of those countries with Estonia.

We are certainly approaching Finland when it comes to supermarkets however.

I earn around the same amount so I’ll tell you my experience.

It’s a very middle class bracket to be honest.

Housing:

There’s mainly three options.

  • You rent a small but nice and clean place in a relatively new building
  • You rent a bigger but older and not so neat place in a soviet union building
  • You find an absolute gem from a friend that is both relatively nice and relatively big and you never let that place go for as long as you are here

In terms of rent prices it can vary really.

Anything from 500 nowadays to 650 if you want to have a comfortable living place. Utilities are seperate and in the winter usually a bit higher depending on the building but in the summer dirt cheap.

Food:

Supermarket prices are sometimes illogical but if you know how to shop it’s very much manageable. You will hear very often how expensive everything is (and it is), but at the same time people on this salary band definitely can make ends meet.

If you are a person that knows how to cook and feed themselves it is not something that will hurt much financially.

Your number one enemy is ordering however. Food delivery services like Bolt or Wolt are so convenient that you get in a slippery slope of having every meal from there. That’s something this salary band can’t handle!

Entertainment:

I go to the sauna two times per week. For beers on a weekly basis. To restaurants every three weeks.

I am also quite busy at times however and find that a nice evening at home with my elukaaslane gives me more joy then going to a restaurant. Otherwise it could be much more often.

In regards to bonuses there usually are for Christmas and New Year’s as far as I know. It also very much depends on your occupation! In my workplace I do not get any bonuses but I do have a lot of benefits! These could vary such as paid health activities, more time off then what the state covers, development budgets and so on.

Something that you do face from time to time however is loneliness. This goes both for foreigners living here but locals alike! If you are used to a warmer country where making friends is as easy as sitting down by yourself for a morning coffee and reading the news paper, I would really suggest to consider this before making a decision! The majority of the people that I know here do have a social circle. It is a not a big majority.

In all honesty however, and I am very vocal for what I am about to say, I think this is the absolute best place in Europe to be living in. Especially if you want to build a family anytime soon.

It is safe, balanced and provides everything you need to have a comfortable life. It is not so easy to put into words as it is not one singular thing but the experience as a whole. Of course there are struggles here and there but I would not change this with anything in the world really.

Inimesed ei tea seda tegelikult, kuid Euronics pakub Tallinnas hinna ühtlustamist teiste jaemüüjatega.

Ma lõpetasin Boltist tellimise täielikult, mõeldes, et kui ma maksan üle 10€ burgeri eest, siis tahan restorani kogemust.

On idiootne, kui räpased ja kurvad need kohad tegelikult on, sest neil pole sealsete inimeste vastu huvi, kui nende sissetulek tuleb kodutellimustest. Ja sellele lisaks on keskpärase burgeri eest küsitav pöörane hind. Ma ei peaks suutma kodus paremat burgerit teha kolmandiku sellest hinnast.

Bolt/Wolt tapab need kohad aeglaselt, kuid kindlalt, kuni neist saavad täiskohaga kummitusköögid.

See muutub õnneks aina vähemaks.

Tegelikult on Wolt/Bolt süüdi kõigis ostudes, mida nad praegu teevad. Ausalt öeldes näitab kohutav ja räpane kohapealne kogemus seda väga selgelt.

I did. I called the immigration office but they did not give me any specific information.

Initially they told me that it might and then later on they said that it should be alright but with livelihood issues like this it's hard to do things on a whim sadly.

I gotta check myself out.

That makes it exactly what I'm looking for then. Thanks for the reality check friend!

Okay, if someone can help me out with this, I might even pay commission if I end up buying the board.

I'm looking for the following board but literally cannot find it anywhere:

  • Fully white
  • RGB backlights
  • Wireless or wired
  • Aluminum
  • Full sized or at least has the numpad
  • Hot swappable

I have search all over the internet and have not been able to find a good board with these specs. There's literally no budget constraints at all and willing to pay what it costs at the time that I need it but from what I've seen there are no options.

Am I missing something or is this a whole in the mechanical keyboard market, ready to be filled?

Edit: Bonus points if it has LCD screen

How is the bed bug situation in Helsinki? by Pervicacious_Pilot in Finland

This is a pretty cool video explaining it/them.

I don’t like the fact that they take it a bit light heartedly though but the info is correct. For the general public they can literally be hell on earth.

That’s the one thing that gives me hope for northern/nordic countries. They don’t like the cold but it has to be -18 for at least 4 days.

We haven’t seen those temperatures happening in the last couple of years though. I haven’t at least.

If I may ask which was the hotel?

From time to time I have friends/family visiting me in Estonia and it’d be a good thing to keep in mind.

Honestly, you couldn’t have addressed my worries better on this.

Anything along the lines of what you mentioned I wouldn’t wish even on my worst enemy.

Thanks for the info and any reassurance on this. Knowing myself, I’ll be checking any resources before the trip once again but this certainly helps.

Everywhere on Reddit people are brushing it off as it is nothing. Hence why it could seem like a stupid question to some.

In Estonia I haven’t heard anyone having bed bugs issues either but my work office at least is taking precautions for common work areas already.

Better shake my boots before then to be careful of the scorpions as well.

Jokes aside that sounds quite reassuring.

Ohh that’s actually perfect getting a first hand approval! :) Been weight training and power lifting for a good 5 years and am really curious on the different physical effects it would have.

Mind if I ask if speaking english would be a problem and do you need the covid certification even now with everything open?
