It is glaring when you leave the country and come back. Go somewhere like Sweden or Spain and the women are thin and look like they just walked off the runway in Milan. Perfect care. They SMELL good. You would never leave the house, even to go to the market, in a pair of sweats or unkempt--the social stigma is too strong.

I lived in Estonia for three years. Arriving at a U.S. airport made me want to gouge my eyes out.

That musta been fun. (living in Estonia). My dream is to live in one of the eastern euro countries for a while.
