Depression, economy crisis. You know - lay-offs, prices going up, salaries going down...LAMA.

Iltalehti prominently displayed "Lama ei pääse Etelä-Afrikkaan" - I think our government went to a fact-finding mission to Africa after that.

Hows the economy these days in Estonia? It seems to be keeping a bit more on top of the debt bubble than Latvia and Lithuania but just a bit.

We`re OK. Going down slowly, but it doesn´t seem to be so bad yet. (Spitting three times over my sholder)

If it is 'lama' it is depression, and the current recession (='taantuma') may very well end up qualifying for the title.

As for my self, not so far, except at the beginning of this year I deemed sensible to enroll into an unemployment fund...

Expect for the unexpected... That`s wise.
