Re-Independence Day

Today is Re-Independence Day here is Estonia. It may seem like a funny name, but it commemorates the day Estonia announced independence form the Soviet Union. To Estonians they had been occupied since they first declared independence after beating the Russians in 1918.

It was interesting to see that every house or apartment building had the Estonian flag hanging out front today. In Australia we seem to have no pride at all in our flag. Whether that’s because we have a dirty great Union jack on our flag or because were just not patriotic is an interesting question!!
