Siis tervitan sind eestiks!

My second guess would have been Estonia. I just traveled from our Vändra home yesterday to Finland.

Beards really are not greatly popular in Estonia, that I got to see these last few weeks we spent there. But every single friend of ours there liked it, after having had a moment to think about it. It's a matter of showing the people you still are the same guy, or have grown better (which often happens with bearding).

Tere tulemast HabeLehele!

Habe Edasi! (siis kui nii võib õelda)
Beard On!

Days of growing my beard

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
