Telecommunications is one of the fastest growing sectors in the Estonian economy. International phone calls can be made from Estonia to almost 100 countries. Mobile phone networks, which cover the entire territory of Estonia, are undergoing a phase of intense development. About 30 per cent of the population live in rental housing. The rent of an apartment depends on its location, size, condition and age.
Rents are relatively high and prices for apartments and houses are also high.
Apartments are rented both furnished and unfurnished. While medical facilities are available throughout Estonia, medical standards are still uneven. Private clinics are service-friendly, but not always equipped for emergencies. Typical Estonian dishes rely heavily on pork, potatoes and garden vegetables. Spicy Estonian foods are unheard of.
